What is Lock Rekeying?

Lock rekeying is the process of changing the internal mechanism of a lock so that it operates with a brand-new key.

Instead of removing the entire handle or deadbolt assembly from your door, our expert technicians carefully remove the cylinder, swap out the internal pins and springs to match a completely different key cut, and reinstall it. Once rekeyed, the old keys become entirely useless.

When Should You Rekey Your Locks?

Rekeying is the ideal security solution for a variety of common situations:

• Moving Into a New Home: Ensure that past owners, real estate agents, contractors, or cleaners who might still have copies of the old keys cannot enter your private space.

• Lost or Stolen Keys: If your keys are missing and you're worried they might fall into the wrong hands, rekeying immediately eliminates the threat.

• Employee or Tenant Turnover: Protect your commercial business or rental property when a staff member leaves or a lease ends by resetting access quickly.

• Key Consolidation (One Key for All Doors): If you are tired of carrying a heavy keyring with five different keys for five different doors, we can often rekey all your locks to open seamlessly with just one single master key.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is it cheaper to rekey or replace a lock?

Rekeying is almost always substantially cheaper than replacing your locks. Because the external lock housing, handles, and deadbolts stay on the door, you don’t have to purchase brand-new, expensive hardware sets. You only pay for the locksmith's labor to reset the internal pins.

Can any lock be rekeyed?

Most standard residential and commercial locks can be rekeyed easily, provided we have the original key or can safely pick the cylinder open to reset it. If a lock is physically broken, heavily rusted, or structurally worn out, we will recommend a complete lock replacement instead.

Will I get new keys after my locks are rekeyed?

Yes! We provide you with a brand-new set of cut keys matching the updated internal pin configuration, and we can make as many duplicate copies as your family or team needs right on the spot.
