Lock Rekeying FAQs
What is lock rekeying?
Lock rekeying is a process where a locksmith changes the internal pins of your lock so that old keys no longer work. A new key is created that operates the rekeyed lock. This is different from lock replacement because the existing lock hardware stays in place.
When should I rekey my locks?
You should rekey your locks when you move into a new home, after losing your keys, when a roommate or tenant moves out, after a break-in or attempted break-in, when you want all locks to use the same key, or when employees leave your business.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Yes, rekeying is typically more affordable than replacing locks because you keep the existing hardware. The locksmith only changes the internal pin configuration and provides new keys, which costs less than purchasing and installing new locks.
Can all locks be rekeyed?
Most standard pin tumbler locks can be rekeyed, including deadbolts, knob locks, and lever handles. Some high-security locks and smart locks may have restrictions. A professional locksmith can assess your locks and advise on the best option.
How long does lock rekeying take?
A professional locksmith can typically rekey a standard lock in 10-15 minutes. The total time depends on the number of locks being rekeyed and their complexity.
Can you rekey locks to match one key?
Yes, this is called keying alike. A locksmith can rekey multiple locks throughout your home or business so that one key operates all of them, providing convenience without sacrificing security.
Do I need to be home for lock rekeying?
Yes, you or an authorized representative should be present during the rekeying service. The locksmith will need access to all locks being rekeyed and will provide you with the new keys upon completion.
