Typical rental rekey is three to four cylinders (quoted by the locksmith from the cylinders on the doors), often with mailbox lock service added when keys go missing.
Second, Las Americas Premium Outlets and surrounding retail commercial tenant rekey at lease change. Typical small-tenant commercial rekey is quoted from the cylinder count and hardware grade. The locksmith can schedule after-hours visits to avoid peak shopping traffic.
Third, cross-border fleet vehicle key programming for commercial fleets transiting through the San Ysidro border crossing. Mexico-market vehicles sometimes have non-US immobilizer specs that need a diagnosis on the car, including common Volkswagen, Nissan, and major Mexican-market manufacturers.
