Rekeying changes the internal configuration of a lock so it accepts a different key. Rather than removing the entire lock assembly, a locksmith alters or replaces the pins and tumblers inside the cylinder. That means the old key no longer operates the lock while the existing hardware stays in place. Rekeying is commonly done when you move into a home, after keys go missing, or when you want to stop access for someone who previously had a key. It is also sensible if you have multiple locks keyed alike and want to consolidate to a single key or, conversely, separate previously shared keys. Not every lock can be rekeyed; some specialty and high-security cylinders require different parts or full replacement. During a Frazer service call we inspect each lock to confirm it can be rekeyed, explain options such as keyed-alike setups, and proceed only after you approve the work. New keys are cut on site and tested in the lock so you leave with functioning keys and secured doors. If a lock is damaged or uses a nonstandard cylinder, we will explain the alternatives and your choices without pressuring a replacement.
What affects the cost
The final price for rekeying depends on a few practical factors rather than a fixed flat rate. We quote the cost on the phone after learning which locks you need rekeyed and the conditions at your home.
- Number of locks
- Lock cylinder type
- Condition of hardware
- Keyed-alike requests
- Specialty cylinders
Worth knowing before you call
Many homeowners confuse rekeying with full replacement and assume one is always better. Rekeying keeps your existing deadbolts and knobs while changing which key works, so it often costs less than replacing every lock but it only works when the cylinder itself is in good condition. If a lock is worn, corroded or a nonstandard model, replacement may be the safer long-term option; the technician will point this out during inspection. Another common misconception is that rekeying is only useful after a break-in. It is useful anytime you want to restrict access — after moving, after lending keys to contractors, or when a roommate leaves. For homes in Frazer, combining a rekey with a keyed-alike setup can reduce the number of keys you carry while preserving security. Keep the new keys in a safe place and consider making a spare set for trusted family members; avoid labeling a key with your address. If you rent your home or live in a managed property, check your lease or talk to the landlord before changing locks, since many rental agreements have specific rules about who may alter locks. Finally, keep a note of the new key code if one is provided, so additional copies can be cut consistently in the future.

Questions from Frazer customers
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If your Frazer question isn't here, call us — we'll answer it directly.
What exactly is rekeying a lock in Frazer?
Rekeying in Frazer means changing the internal pins or tumblers in your lock so a different key is required. The existing lock hardware stays in place while the old key stops working. This is a common choice if you moved into a home in ZIP 19345 or want to stop access for someone who previously had a key.
Can you rekey every lock in my Frazer home?
Most standard residential cylinder locks can be rekeyed in Frazer, but some specialty or high-security cylinders may not be serviceable. The technician will inspect each lock and tell you whether rekeying is possible. When rekeying isn’t feasible, we will explain your replacement options.
Will rekeying improve security after I lost a key in Frazer?
Yes, rekeying makes the lost key useless at the rekeyed locks, which restores control over who can enter your home. It is a practical response if keys are lost or you suspect unauthorized copies exist. For added security you can rekey only certain doors or all of the home's exterior locks.
Do I need the landlord's permission for rekeying in Frazer rentals?
If you rent a property in Frazer, check your lease or talk to the landlord before making any changes to locks. Landlords often have policies about who may alter locks and how keys are handled. Getting permission avoids lease disputes and ensures any changes comply with the rental agreement.
How many keys will I get after rekeying?
You will receive new working keys for each rekeyed lock and we generally cut at least one working key on site. If you need additional duplicates, request them during the visit so the technician can cut and test them. Keep in mind that the number of copies is up to you; have a plan for who should hold spares.
