Lock Rekeying FAQs
What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins inside your existing lock cylinder so old keys no longer work. Replacing means installing entirely new hardware. Rekeying is faster and less expensive, and makes sense when your hardware is in good condition. Replacing is the right choice when the lock is damaged, worn, or you want to upgrade the hardware.
How long does it take to rekey a lock?
Rekeying a single lock typically takes 10–15 minutes. If you have multiple locks to rekey, we can often do them all in one visit. We'll give you a time estimate when you call.
Can you rekey all my locks to use the same key?
Yes — this is called keying alike, and it's a very common request. We can rekey multiple locks so they all operate with one key, which is convenient for homeowners who want to simplify their keyring.
Do I need to be home for a rekey service?
Yes, someone needs to be present to let us in and verify ownership or authorization. We'll also need the current working key for each lock we're rekeying.
Can you rekey locks from any brand?
We can rekey most standard residential and commercial lock brands. If you have a specialty or high-security lock, call us and we'll confirm compatibility before scheduling.
