Eviction & Tenant Turnover Locksmith in Truckee & North Lake Tahoe
Fast, documented lock changes for landlords and property managers — lawful turnovers, same-day rekeys, master planning.
Every turnover, the same question: who still has a key?
The answer after any tenancy is “you don't know” — and that's what rekeying is for. We handle turnover rekeys same-day, coordinate lawful eviction lock-outs with owners and managers, and build master-keyed programs so multi-unit owners stop carrying a hardware store on their belt.
What’s included
- Same-day turnover rekeys
- Eviction lock changes (with lawful authority & documentation)
- Landlord master key systems
- Property-wide key programs
- Keypad conversions for rental doors
- Records & key maps for your files
How a visit works
1 Tell us the property and the turnover rhythm
Weekly STR flips or annual leases — the right hardware follows the schedule, and you get a free phone estimate.
2 One visit sets up the system
Locks installed and programmed, codes structured by role (guest, cleaner, caretaker, owner), override keys cut and labeled.
3 Manage it from anywhere
You get the documentation and the controls — change codes from the couch in the Bay Area, call us only when hardware needs hands.
Built for the mountains
Between long-term rentals in Truckee and seasonal leases around the lake, tenant transitions are constant up here. We rekey units same-day, document the work for your records, and set up landlord master systems so the next turnover is a phone call, not a project.
What shapes the price
- Hardware chosen — keypad deadbolts vs. connected smart locks, per door
- How many doors and codes the system covers — front, garage, gear room, owner's closet
- Turnover urgency — same-day rekeys between guests are routine; we just need the window
No games: the estimate is free, the phone answer is honest, and the number at the door matches the number on the call. Serving Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, Incline Village, the West Shore and Donner Summit — fully mobile, Mon–Fri 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM. Free phone estimates: (530) 308-6643.

☎ (530) 308-6643Eviction & Tenant Turnover Locksmith — FAQs
Can you change locks for an eviction?
With proper legal authority, yes — we coordinate with the owner or manager and document the work. We follow the law precisely; it protects you as much as us.
How fast can a unit be rekeyed between tenants?
Usually same-day, often within hours — a standard unit rekeys in well under an hour once we're at the door, fresh keys included.
I own several units. What's the smarter setup?
A landlord master system: each unit has its own key, you carry one. Add keypads on high-turnover doors and turnovers become code changes instead of visits.
