Locks and properties in Newhall
Older Newhall doors often carry mortise locks that newer locksmiths avoid. We repair, rekey and replace them, and fit panic hardware and commercial locks for the Old Town storefronts.
Newhall is the oldest part of Santa Clarita and the doors show it. Around the old downtown and up the side streets there are houses from the twenties through the fifties still carrying their original hardware: mortise locks with a skeleton-key look, rim locks screwed to the back of the door, and jambs that have been painted so many times the bolt no longer lines up. Those are worth keeping. An old mortise lock is usually better made than what would replace it, and it can be rekeyed or rebuilt rather than ripped out, which is what we would rather do on a house that has kept its character this long.
Getting to Newhall
Newhall is about five miles from the base, which makes it 15 to 25 minutes and often the shorter end of that. The one thing that adds time is the older streets themselves: narrow, parked solid, and awkward for a van after dark. Leave a light on if you can.

Newhall locksmith questions
Can you work on old mortise locks in a historic Newhall home?
Yes. We service, rekey and, where needed, replace mortise locks common in older Newhall houses, keeping the original look where we can.
Do you rekey storefronts and offices in Old Town Newhall?
Yes. We rekey and install commercial locks, master key systems and panic hardware for Newhall businesses, on your schedule.
My house is from the 1930s and the lock looks nothing like a modern one. Can you still help?
Yes, and please do not let anybody talk you into replacing it as the first move. Old mortise and rim locks can usually be rekeyed, cleaned and adjusted, and the result is a better lock than a modern retrofit in the same hole. Where a case really is beyond repair we will say so and fit something that suits the door rather than the catalogue.
The deadbolt has stopped lining up with the frame. Is that the lock?
Almost never. In houses this age it is the door or the jamb moving with the seasons, or forty years of paint. We adjust the strike and the alignment so the bolt throws fully again, which is a short visit and much cheaper than the new lock somebody may have suggested.
