Does anyone have good locksmith referrals in the OC area (maybe close to Fullerton)? Need to change a few locks and key them to the same key.

TIA!!!!!

I've removed the locks and taken them to the local home improvement store. ~$4/each for the basic Kwikset stuff. The mobile locksmiths will be north of $75/hour, then add in what they want for each key cylinder and cut key for this job. Get the wife and kids to guard the house and in about 2 hours, you'll be done.

Mine are up in the IE, sorry

One way to find a good one is to call a busy local real estate company and ask them who does their locks (if they don't do them themselves).

Most management companies take it to hardware stores to get them tumbled/keyed. Should be a lot cheaper than a mobile locksmith.

I bought a kwickset from HD and did it myself.
I'm sure you can do it yourself Henry.....it's pretty easy........easier than all the other installs that you do
