Lock Rekeying
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so the old keys stop working and a new key takes over. It usually costs less than replacing the lock. Good after a move, a lost key, or staff turnover.
- Old keys stop working, no new hardware needed
- Usually less than replacing the lock
- Set several doors to one key when locks are compatible
- Homes and businesses
- Bring the lockset and a working key if you have one
When to rekey
Rekey when the lock is fine but you want old keys to stop working. Just moved in is the big one: you don't know who still has a copy, from past owners and agents to contractors. Rekeying makes those keys useless without buying new locks. Same goes for a lost key or a roommate, tenant, or ex who moved out. If a lock is worn out or damaged, replacing it may be the better call, and we'll tell you which fits.
One key for every door
If your locks share a compatible brand and keyway, we can rekey them so one key opens every door. That turns a ring full of mismatched keys into one. If a lock isn't compatible, we'll tell you which doors can go on one key and which can't.
What to bring
Bring the lockset or cylinders, plus a working key if you have one. Residential and commercial both welcome. Not sure how to pull a cylinder? Call and we'll walk you through it.
