What Is Lock Rekeying and Why Might You Need It?
Lock rekeying is a quick and cost-effective way to regain control over who can access your property. Instead of replacing the entire lock, a locksmith modifies the lock's internal mechanism so it can be operated with a new key. Once rekeyed, old keys become useless, giving you instant peace of mind—without the price tag of new hardware.
Rekeying is often needed in everyday situations. Maybe you’ve just bought a home and don’t know who still has a key. Former owners, contractors, and even neighbors might have one. Or perhaps you're managing a business and recently changed staff. In both personal and commercial settings, rekeying helps you restore security quickly and affordably.
Here are a few common reasons to rekey your locks:
Moving into a new home or apartment
Lost or stolen house keys
Dealing with a recent break-in or attempted burglary
Changing tenants between leases
Adjusting access after employee termination
Benefits of Choosing Lock Rekeying Over Lock Replacement
While many assume that outdated or compromised locks must be replaced, rekeying offers a smart alternative. It provides the same level of security and privacy without the extra cost or effort of replacing your hardware.
Here’s why rekeying is often the better solution:
More affordable than replacing all the locks
Faster turnaround with no need to change door fittings
Option to use a single key for multiple locks
Enhanced control over who has access
Many of our customers are surprised at how convenient and cost-efficient rekeying is. One Jacksonville homeowner told us they were settled in with four rekeyed doors and custom-matched keys—all in under an hour.
When It’s Time to Rekey Your Locks
There are moments when rekeying should be a top priority. If you’re unsure who might have received copies of your house or building keys over the years, it's a strong indicator. The same goes for changes in your household, staff, or if there was a nearby break-in.
Common situations that call for rekeying include:
New home purchase
Changes in roommates or household members
Breakups, divorces, or separations
Staff turnover in an office or commercial space
Suspicious activity around your property
Being proactive now can prevent major issues later. Rekeying puts you back in control.
What Happens During a Rekeying Appointment?
Knowing what to expect during the rekeying process can make it even smoother. Our experienced locksmith will arrive and begin by inspecting the locks to confirm they're in good working condition. Then we:
1. Remove the lock cylinder
2. Replace the internal key pins to match your new key
3. Test the rekeyed lock before reinstalling it
4. Provide you with your new keys and peace of mind
The entire process typically takes under an hour, even for multiple locks. If you're looking to simplify things further, we can key all compatible locks alike so you only carry one key.
