Falcon Lock Change in Los Angeles delivers reliable and cost-effective lock upgrade services for homeowners, landlords, and small businesses that need dependable hardware without overspending. If you’ve lost keys, moved into a new house/office, had keys stolen, or require burglary repair, switching to Falcon locks can restore your security quickly and affordably. Falcon is known for durable deadbolts, lever locks, and cylindrical locksets that provide solid everyday protection. Our mobile locksmith team in Los Angeles brings the tools and expertise needed to install or rekey Falcon hardware at your location — making lock change simple and practical.

Many residential and light-commercial properties across Los Angeles already use standard locksets that wear out, become unreliable, or don’t fit rental or multi-unit building needs. Falcon provides a balance between affordability and durability, making it a good match for entry doors, apartments, storage rooms, or secondary entrances. Whether you need a single deadbolt replacement or multiple lock changes across several doors, we help you pick the right Falcon product and ensure proper installation. Our service emphasizes smooth operation, secure installation, and transparent communication from quote to completion.

Why Using Falcon Locks

Falcon locks are built for reliability and practicality, making them a popular choice for rental units, apartments, secondary entrances, and light-commercial doors in Los Angeles. They offer a range of locksets—deadbolts, cylindrical locks, lever sets—that balance cost, durability, and straightforward functionality. Because Falcon hardware is widely available and typically fits standard residential and light-commercial door preparations, installation and maintenance costs tend to be lower than premium or high-security brands. For many property owners needing dependable locks without unnecessary expense, Falcon represents a sensible, value-focused option.

Another advantage is ease of rekeying or lock replacement. Falcon uses standard keyways and common hardware specifications, which simplifies rekey services or hardware swap-outs when keys are lost or properties change hands. This makes Falcon practical for landlords, rental buildings, or multi-unit homes where frequent tenant turnover occurs. You get convenience, affordability, and consistent keying without complex key-control programs.

On the downside, Falcon locks are not designed for high-security or heavy-duty commercial use. Their mechanisms are simpler and may not resist drilling, bumping, or forced entry as well as more robust brands. For high-risk doors — street-facing, high-value properties, or commercial storefronts — relying solely on Falcon may leave vulnerabilities. We help you weigh costs and security needs to decide if Falcon is sufficient or if stronger hardware makes sense.

Falcon Lock Rekey & Replacement

Falcon lock rekey is an affordable, efficient way to reset access without replacing the entire lockset. If you’ve lost keys, experienced tenant turnover, or simply want to ensure no old keys work anymore, we can re-pin Falcon cylinders and issue new keys on site. This service is ideal for landlords, rental properties, or homeowners who want swift key control updates without major hardware investment. We always test every rekeyed lock to ensure smooth, reliable operation before finishing the job.

If a Falcon lock is worn out, damaged, or the door/frame is misaligned, full replacement may be the best choice. We carry common Falcon deadbolts, cylindrical locks, and lever sets, allowing us to perform replacements on the same visit in most cases. Replacing worn hardware often restores smooth operation, improves security, and can prevent future lock failures. Our locksmiths handle proper alignment, strike plate adjustment, and finishing touches for a clean, functional installation.

Smart, Electronic or Upgraded Options

Falcon primarily manufactures mechanical locks, but their hardware can often be used in conjunction with electronic or smart lock conversions—especially when the door prep is standard. Many Falcon deadbolts or cylindrical locksets can be replaced with retrofit smart-lock cylinders or keyless entry units. This allows homeowners in Los Angeles to enjoy modern convenience—keyless entry, keypad codes, or remote access—while keeping the structural simplicity of Falcon hardware. We handle the installation and ensure compatibility, alignment, and proper functioning.

Standard smart lock conversions typically involve replacing the existing deadbolt or inner cylinder, while keeping existing door hardware or trim intact. This minimizes disruption and avoids changing the door’s look or requiring major modifications. For rental properties, rental units, or homes where you want convenience without a full hardware overhaul, this hybrid approach often offers the best value. Our technicians can review your door and recommend whether a smart-lock retrofit or mechanical upgrade is more cost-effective and secure.

For customers who prefer not to invest in smart-lock technology, we also offer upgraded mechanical options—enhanced strike plates, longer bolts, reinforced frames—to boost security while staying within a moderate budget. These upgrades often offer better protection than stock hardware without needing a full high-security lock system. We provide tailored recommendations based on door type, usage, and security needs.

Do It Yourself VS Using a Professional Locksmith

Installing or rekeying Falcon locks yourself may seem like a straightforward weekend project—but it often leads to alignment problems, loose hardware, or improper bolt engagement. Doors in Los Angeles can shift over time, frames can settle, and wear can cause misalignment; without proper tools and experience, DIY work can undermine security. Many DIY attempts result in locks that stick, mis-latch, or wear out quickly. If installed incorrectly, even good hardware becomes unreliable.

When you use a professional locksmith, you get precise installation, proper alignment, and secure mounting. Our team checks door frames, reinforces strike plates when needed, and ensures bolts fully extend and catch properly. We also test every lock carefully before leaving and provide a 6-month warranty on parts and labor for added protection. This gives you peace of mind that your Falcon installation is done right and will perform when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Falcon locks good for residential homes?

Yes — Falcon deadbolts and cylindrical locks provide adequate protection for many residential doors, especially for secondary entrances, apartment units, or standard home entry doors. They’re a step up from cheap hardware-store locks in terms of reliability and durability. For main entry doors facing street or high-risk areas, consider upgrading strike-plates or combining with reinforced hardware. We can advise what’s best for your door and security needs.

Can Falcon locks be rekeyed easily?

Yes — Falcon uses standard cylinders and keyways that our locksmiths can rekey on site when keys are lost or you need new key control. Rekeying is affordable and fast, making it popular for rental properties, apartments, or multi-unit homes. We test each rekeyed lock to ensure smooth operation. It’s a practical way to change access without replacing full hardware.

Do Falcon locks work on metal or aluminum doors?

Yes — especially when using rim or surface-mounted deadbolts designed for non-standard doors. Falcon’s rim deadbolts and latch sets often fit better on metal or narrow-frame doors than standard mortise locks. Our technicians check door thickness and frame type to confirm compatibility and ensure proper installation. This makes Falcon a flexible choice for a variety of door materials common in Los Angeles buildings.

Are Falcon locks vulnerable to picking or bumping?

Falcon locks provide reasonable basic security for everyday situations, but they are not high-security cylinders. With simple tools or experienced attackers, standard locks may be compromised more easily than premium or hardened security locks. For doors with higher risk or added exposure, we recommend combining Falcon with reinforcement or considering higher-security brands. We can assess your risks and recommend the safest solution for you.

Can Falcon locks be keyed alike across multiple units?

Yes — we can rekey multiple Falcon locks to use a single key if they use compatible cylinders and keyways. This is especially useful for rental properties, apartment buildings, or offices managing several doors. We ensure keying is done correctly and test all locks before job completion. Key-alike solutions simplify access and make key management easier.

Do you offer warranty on Falcon installations?

Yes — all Falcon lock change, rekey, or installation services performed by Lock Change Los Angeles include a 6-month warranty on parts and labor. If there is a problem due to installation or hardware failure, we return and fix it at no additional cost. This ensures peace of mind and reliable performance long after the job is done. We stand behind every installation and rekey.

How long does a typical Falcon lock install or rekey take?

Most Falcon deadbolt or cylinder replacements take about 20–40 minutes per door depending on door condition and prep. Rim deadbolt installations or smart-lock conversions may take 30–60 minutes. We aim to complete most jobs in one visit. Our mobile locksmith service covers all of Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

Can Falcon locks be upgraded later to smart locks?

Yes, in many cases — especially if the door prep is standard and the lockset uses a removable deadbolt. We can retrofit smart lock cylinders or electronic deadbolts compatible with Falcon hardware. This lets you retain existing trim and door finish while adding keyless entry or remote access. We handle full installation and testing so the system works smoothly.
