Lock Rekeying
Make every old key useless, keep your existing locks, and get one key for every door.
Rekeying: The Cheapest Big Upgrade to Your Home Security
Every pin-tumbler lock has a set of small pins inside, cut to match one key. Rekeying means taking the cylinder apart and replacing those pins so the lock works with a new key, and every old key stops working. Your locks stay on the door, and the cost is a fraction of buying new hardware.
When to Rekey
- You just bought or moved into a home
- A key was lost or stolen
- A roommate or partner moved out
- Contractors, cleaners or sitters had keys
- You want one key for every door
- Between rental tenants
Key Everything Alike
Front door, back door, garage entry, deadbolts: if they share a common keyway, we can set them all to one key. If a lock uses a different keyway, we can swap it for a matching one.
Rekey or Replace?
If your locks work smoothly and you like them, rekey. If they're worn, damaged, or you want an upgrade (a stronger deadbolt or a smart lock), see door lock replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is rekeying as secure as new locks?
For stopping old keys, yes. The lock is only as strong as its hardware, though, so we'll tell you if a lock is worth upgrading.
How long does it take?
A typical home takes well under an hour.
