Rekey or replace?

Rekeying swaps the pins inside the cylinder. Old keys stop working. The lock stays. It is usually the cheaper route when the hardware is sound.

Replacing makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged, or simply not strong enough — a single cheap knob on a back door that faces an alley, say. Many Bell homes are older stucco houses and small courts built decades ago, and their original hardware has often been painted over or patched more than once. A locksmith can tell you on site which option fits.

What the call sounds like

Say what is wrong, which door, and what kind of lock you see. The dispatcher gives an approximate estimate based on that. The final price depends on what the locksmith finds, and you hear it before anything is drilled or changed.
