RESIDENTIAL HOUSE LOCK REKEY

When your locks are in good working order, but you need to have the keys for the locks changed so that an old set no longer works, a lock rekey service will suffice. Rekeying a lock will save you money by simply changing the pins in the lock cylinder instead of completely changing the entire lock. Most deadbolts and locking doorknobs have what is called a pin tumbler lock. The specific arrangement of the pins in this lock correspond to the grooves and cuts, or shape, of a specific key. When the lock is rekeyed, these pins are changed so that it conforms to the shape of a new key. The rekeyed lock will have a new set of keys and the old set of keys will no longer work. This is useful when homeowners or renters have changed and old keys were not returned or perhaps a set of keys were lost and you would like to make sure that they no longer work. Another reason you might need a rekey service is if you would like to have one key for multiple locks. Instead of having a separate key for each lock, you can have all your locks rekeyed the same so that one key will work for all the locks. Our rekey services include:

  • Deadbolt lock rekey
  • Doorknob lock rekey
  • Single cylinder rekey
