Not sure if rekeying is what you need?
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
You just moved into a new place
The previous owner, their realtor, their dog walker, their contractor - you have no idea how many copies of that key are floating around. Rekeying is the first thing you should do after closing day.
You lost your keys (or they were stolen)
Whoever finds those keys could have your address on the keychain, in your car, or on a nearby piece of mail. Rekeying makes those lost keys completely worthless before anyone can use them.
An employee or contractor had access
You let someone borrow a key for work and now they're gone. Even if they returned it, you can't know if they made a copy. Rekeying closes that gap permanently.
A relationship ended and your ex has a key
Asking for a key back is awkward - and it doesn't guarantee copies weren't made. Rekeying lets you move forward knowing that only the people you choose can walk through your door.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Lock Rekeying FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
How much does rekeying cost compared to new locks?
Rekeying usually costs a fraction of what full lock replacement would. You're paying for the service call and small internal pins rather than brand new hardware. For most homes with 3–4 locks, rekeying saves hundreds of dollars while giving you the exact same level of security.
Can you make all my locks work with one key?
Yes, as long as your locks use the same keyway (the shape of the key slot). Most homes with the same brand on every door can be unified to one key. If you have mixed brands, we'll let you know on-site what's possible.
Is a rekeyed lock just as secure as a brand new one?
Absolutely. The security of a lock comes from its physical build - the grade of metal, the design of the bolt, the anti-pick features. Rekeying only changes which key pattern opens it. If your lock hardware is solid, a rekeyed lock is identical in security to a new one.
What if I lost all my keys - can you still rekey?
Yes. If you don't have a working key, our locksmith can pick or decode the lock to get it open, then rekey it from there. It may take a few extra minutes, but the end result is the same - new keys that only you control.
How long does the whole thing take?
For a typical home with 2–4 locks, we're usually done in 30–45 minutes. Each additional lock adds just a few minutes. You don't need to clear your whole day for this.
Take back control of who gets in
Tell us how many doors you need secured. Our locksmith handles everything on-site - you walk away with new keys and the confidence that nobody else can get in.
