Lock Rekey Service

Render old keys useless without replacing your locks.

What You Get

Why customers choose us for rekey service

  • Re-pin existing locks, no need to buy new hardware
  • One key works every door, keyed-alike rekeying available
  • Whole-home rekeys completed in a single visit
  • Ideal after move-in, roommate changes, or lost keys
  • Significant savings vs. full lock replacement

Rekeying: the smart move when keys are unaccounted for

Rekeying is the fastest way to reset who has access to your property without spending money on new hardware. Rather than swapping the entire lock, we open the cylinder, remove the existing pins, and re-pin it to a brand-new key. The lock looks exactly the same, works exactly the same, and your old keys no longer turn, period.

When rekeying is the right call

  • You just bought a new home and don’t know who else has keys
  • You moved into a rental and want fresh keys
  • A roommate or contractor moved out
  • You lost a keychain or had a wallet stolen
  • You want all your exterior doors to open with a single key
  • You manage a property and a tenant just turned over

A smart, lower-cost alternative to lock replacement

If your existing locks are in good shape, rekeying gives you the same access-control outcome as a full lock replacement, at a fraction of the cost. We give you an honest quote on the call so you know exactly what to expect before we dispatch.

Locked out late at night with a sleeping toddler in the car. They picked up immediately, gave me a clear quote, and a tech was at my door very quickly. Lock opened with zero damage.

I needed Medeco cylinders installed across our home. The tech was knowledgeable, clean, and patient walking through the keying chart with me. Highly recommend.

Priya S. · Bethesda, MD
★★★★★

Rekeyed our condo the day we moved in. Showed up exactly on time, was respectful of the building, and finished promptly. Easiest move-in detail I checked off.

Marcus W. · Silver Spring, MD
★★★★★

Installed two Schlage Encode locks and helped me set up codes for my dog walker. Honest service and they didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need.

Jen K. · Gaithersburg, MD
★★★★★

Our small office had a key-control mess after a few staff turnovers. They built a new master system in a single afternoon and gave us proper documentation.

Alex T. · Germantown, MD
★★★★★

Discreet, professional, and very respectful of the property. Six exterior cylinders rekeyed in one visit and a new high-security front entry. Will use again.
