Rekey or replace: which do I need?
- Rekey when the locks work well and you only want to control who has a key. The hardware stays on the door, so it costs less than new locks.
- Replace when a lock is worn, damaged or broken into, when you want a higher security grade, or when you are moving to a keypad or smart lock.
When should locks be rekeyed?
- You moved into a new home and do not know who still has keys.
- A key was lost or stolen.
- A tenant, roommate or employee moved out.
- A contractor or cleaner no longer needs access.
- You want one key to open every door in the house.
How does rekeying work?
The technician removes the lock cylinder, replaces the pins inside to match a new key, and reassembles the lock. Each lock is tested with the new keys before we leave. Locks of the same brand can usually be keyed alike, so the front door, back door and garage entry all use one key.
Lock change and installation
We install and replace deadbolts, knob and lever sets, high-security cylinders, keypad locks and smart locks. If you bought your own hardware, we can install that too. For businesses we also set up master key systems, where each employee key opens only the doors it should.
