What Is Lock Rekeying?

Lock rekeying involves altering the internal workings of a lock cylinder so that it no longer works with the old key. Instead of changing the entire lock, our locksmiths replace the pins in the lock cylinder to match the cuts of a new key. This process is much more affordable than replacing the entire lock and can be performed on all types of locks, including deadbolts, door handle locks, padlocks, car door and trunk locks, and more.

This method is perfect for both residential and commercial properties that want to maintain their existing lock hardware while improving overall security.

When Should You Rekey Your Locks?

We can rekey multiple locks to work with the same key. If you front door deadbolt and doorknob lock have different keys we can rekey them so you only need one key to operate both.

Here are a few situations where The Lockout Guy can rekey your home, office, and vehicle locks:

• You moved into a new property: Changing the door locks of your new home or business property renders all old keys useless and ensures that only you have access.
• Your car keys have been lost or stolen: Rather than worry about who has your keys, we can rekey your vehicle’s door, trunk, and ignition lock so no one else has access.
• You want to simplify access to your home: If your home’s front door deadbolt, doorknob lock, and back door locks all use different keys, we can rekey them to work with the same key.
• You’ve suffered an attempted break-in: If someone has attempted to pick your home, office, or car door lock to gain entrance, we can rekey the locks as long as the cylinder has not been damaged. If it is damaged beyond repair, we can replace the cylinder or the entire lock.

The Lock Rekeying Process

At The Lockout Guy, we have years of experience rekeying all types of locks for our customers. To help you better understand the process, here’s a brief overview:

1. Remove the lock cylinder: We remove the lock from the door and carefully remove the internal lock cylinder.
2. Replace the pins: We remove the old cylinder pins, insert the new key into the cylinder, and put in new pins that match the cuts of your new key.
3. Reassemble the lock and test: After putting the rekeyed lock cylinder back into the lock, we test it with the new key to ensure smooth operation. Once we’re satisfied it’s working correctly, we put the lock back on the door.
4. Repeat for additional locks: If requested, we can rekey multiple locks on your property to work with the same key. This service is especially useful for those managing multiple locks in homes or businesses, offering simplified key management and access control.
