Lock Rekeying — Make Old Keys Useless

Old keys stop working; your existing hardware stays in place.

Rekeying changes the pins inside your lock cylinder so it works with a brand-new key, and every old key stops working. Your existing hardware stays on the door, which makes rekeying a fast, affordable way to take back control of who can get in.

It is the smart move after buying a home, after a roommate or tenant moves out, after losing keys, or when you are tired of carrying a different key for every door.

Our process

How it works

  1. Count the locks

    Tell us how many cylinders and we quote the total.

  2. Remove the cylinder

    Each lock cylinder is removed from the door.

  3. Repin

    New pins are set to a new key combination.

  4. New keys

    Locks are reinstalled and tested, and you get new keys.

FAQ

Lock Rekeying FAQs

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

Yes, in most cases. You only pay for labor and pins rather than new hardware, as long as the existing locks are in good shape.

Can all locks be rekeyed?

Most standard residential and commercial locks can. Some very cheap or damaged locks are not worth rekeying, and some smart locks use proprietary cylinders. We will tell you if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to rekey a house?

Usually about 10–15 minutes per lock. A typical home with three or four exterior locks is done in under an hour.
