When to rekey your home
- You've just moved in and don't know who has keys.
- Keys were lost, stolen or not returned.

- Someone tried to break in.
Rekeying is usually quicker and less costly than replacing the locks, and you keep the hardware you already have.
Making your doors harder to force
A good lock is only part of the picture. A solid deadbolt with a full-length bolt, a reinforced strike plate fixed with long screws and a high-security cylinder with restricted keys all make a door harder to force or copy keys for. We'll look at your door and suggest the upgrades that are worth doing.
Residential locksmith FAQ
What is the difference between rekeying and changing a lock?
Rekeying swaps the pins inside the cylinder so a new key works and the old ones don't. The lock body stays on your door. Changing the lock replaces the hardware itself, which is the better choice when the lock is damaged, worn or you want a stronger model.
Can all my doors use one key?
Often, yes. When your locks share the same keyway they can usually be rekeyed to one key. If they don't, we can suggest matching hardware. Tell us the brands on your doors when you call.
Can you install a lock I already bought?
Tell us the brand and model when you call and we'll let you know whether we can fit it to your door.
What should I do after losing my house keys?
If there's any chance the keys can be linked to your address, rekey or replace the exterior locks. It is usually the quickest way to make old keys useless.
