What Is Lock Rekeying?

Rekeying changes the internal pins inside your lock so old keys no longer work. The lock stays the same on the outside, but it’s completely reset to a new key.

This means:

• Old keys are instantly useless

• You don’t need to replace the lock

• You get a fresh, controlled set of keys

It’s a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in security.

When Is Rekeying Recommended?

Rekeying isn’t just for emergencies. It’s something most people should do in these situations:

After Moving Into a New Home

You never know who still has copies of the old keys, previous owners, tenants, contractors, or neighbors.

After Losing Keys

If your keys are lost or stolen, rekeying prevents anyone from using them to access your property.

Tenant Turnover

For landlords and property managers, rekeying between tenants is essential for safety and liability.

Employee Changes

If staff leave or roles change, rekeying helps maintain control over who has access to your business.

Break-ins or Security Concerns

Even if the lock isn’t damaged, rekeying restores control and peace of mind.

Advantages of Rekeying Your Locks

Cost-Effective

Rekeying is significantly cheaper than replacing locks, especially when you have multiple doors.

Fast and Convenient

Most rekeying jobs can be done quickly on-site without removing the lock.

Improved Security

Old keys stop working immediately, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Key Control

You decide exactly who has access moving forward.

Keyed Alike Options

We can rekey multiple locks to work with one key for added convenience.

Rekeying vs Lock Replacement

Not sure which option you need?

Rekeying is best when:

• The lock is in good condition

• You want to change who has access

• You’re looking for a cost-effective solution

• 
  

Replacement is better when:

• The lock is damaged or worn

• You want to upgrade to a different style or higher security system

• The lock is a different keyway and can’t be matched

If you’re unsure, we’ll assess your locks and recommend the right option.

Upgrade While Rekeying

Rekeying is also a great time to upgrade your security.

We can:

• Convert your locks to a single key system - One key opens all the locks.

• Upgrade to high-security systems like Medeco or MX10

• Improve key control for rentals or businesses
