Who needs rekeying
Homeowners who have moved, lost keys, or want to reduce the number of keys for one lock often choose rekeying instead of replacing hardware. It is a focused, practical option for people who want the same locks to work with a new key.
Moved into a new home
After relocating, changing your locks ensures previous owners or neighbors can't access your home.
Lost or stolen keys
When keys go missing, updating lock cylinders prevents unauthorized entry to your property.
Tenant turnover
Landlords often rekey between renters to maintain security and control over access.
Inherited a property
New owners of inherited houses should rekey locks to guarantee exclusive entry.
Rekeying lets you use one key for multiple locks, simplifying your keychain management.

If you have a particular concern about a cylinder or a keyed entry set, mention it when you call and the technician will be prepared.
Residential rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of a lock cylinder so that previously issued keys will no longer open the lock. It is a common response after moving into a home, after tenants leave, or when keys are lost or cannot be located. Rekeying preserves existing knobs, deadbolts, and trim, while giving you a fresh keying system. The procedure is typically focused on cylinders that can be removed from the door and reassembled on-site; for some specialty or high-security cylinders additional parts or attention may be required. Rekeying also makes sense when you want multiple locks to operate from a single key, or when you want to restrict access by changing who holds keys. Before any parts are moved the technician inspects each lock to make sure the cylinder is in sound condition and not excessively worn. If a lock is damaged or uses an outdated cylinder that cannot be rekeyed, the technician will explain replacement options and the reasons why rekeying is not recommended for that hardware.
What affects the cost
Several practical factors determine the cost of a rekeying job. Expect the quote to depend on the number of cylinders, the type of lock, and whether replacement parts are needed.
- Number of cylinders
- Type of lock
- Condition of hardware
- Keyed-alike requests
- Need for replacement parts
Worth knowing before you call
Rekeying is often misunderstood as a universal fix for every lock problem. It will stop old keys from working, but it does not repair mechanical defects or restore broken hardware. If you have a sticking cylinder or a damaged strike plate, replacing the worn parts is the correct step rather than only rekeying. Another common misconception is that all locks can be rekeyed; some high-security or integrated latch systems may need specially sourced parts or full replacement. If multiple doors should work with the same new key, ask for a keyed-alike arrangement when you call so the technician can plan accordingly. Keep a record of the new key count and who holds copies; good key control is as important as the physical changes to the locks. Finally, if you suspect unauthorized access or have been through a break-in, mention this up front so the technician can propose a combination of rekeying and any needed upgrades for stronger protection.
