Lock Rekeying Questions
Answered
Everything you need to know about our rekeying service
What's the difference between rekeying and replacing locks?
Rekeying: We change the internal pins so new keys work while old keys don't. The lock hardware stays the same. This is 40-60% less expensive than replacement.
Replacement: We install completely new locks. This is necessary when locks are damaged, worn out, or you want to upgrade to different lock types (like smart locks).
If your locks work fine but you're concerned about security, rekeying is almost always the better choice.
Can all locks be rekeyed?
What is a master key system and do I need one?
A master key system lets you use one key for all your locks - front door, back door, garage, side door, etc. Each lock can also have its own individual key if needed for family members or specific access control.
You'll love it if: You're tired of carrying multiple keys, frequently unlock different doors, or want to give family members access to specific areas only. It's extremely convenient and costs the same as regular rekeying.
Should I rekey locks when moving into a new home?
Absolutely yes - this is critical for your safety. Previous owners, their family members, contractors, real estate agents, home inspectors, maintenance workers, cleaning services, and friends may have made key copies over the years.
You have no way to know how many copies exist or who has them. Rekeying ensures only you have working keys to your new home. This is one of the first things you should do after closing.
How many new keys will I receive?
Can I rekey locks myself with a DIY kit?
While DIY rekeying kits exist, we strongly recommend professional service for several reasons:
- Mistakes can damage lock cylinders, requiring expensive replacement
- Improper pin configuration leads to keys that stick or don't work smoothly
- DIY kits don't work with all lock brands and types
- You won't have professional key cutting equipment
Professional rekeying is affordable and ensures everything works perfectly the first time.
