New Keys, Same Lock โ€” Guaranteed Security

Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your lock so old keys no longer work. New keys are then cut to match. The result: your existing hardware is preserved, but old key holders can no longer gain entry.

Rekeying is typically faster and more affordable than a full lock replacement and is the ideal solution whenever you simply need to invalidate old keys rather than install entirely new hardware.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the difference between rekeying and changing a lock? โ–พ

Rekeying changes the internal tumblers so old keys no longer work โ€” hardware stays the same. Lock changing replaces the entire lock with new hardware. Rekeying is more economical; replacement is better for worn or low-quality locks.

Can you rekey my locks so they all use one key? โ–พ

Yes. This is 'keyed alike' service. We rekey two or more locks so a single key opens all of them โ€” popular for NYC apartments with multiple entry points.

How long does rekeying take? โ–พ

A single lock takes about 10โ€“15 minutes. Rekeying a full apartment typically takes 30โ€“45 minutes.

Can any locksmith rekey my lock? โ–พ

In theory yes, but quality varies by skill and tools. Our locksmiths are trained on all major lock systems and carry professional rekeying kits for all common brands.

Is rekeying as secure as a new lock? โ–พ

Yes, assuming your existing lock is in good condition. The security level after rekeying is identical to a brand-new lock of the same model.

Can you rekey high-security locks like Medeco? โ–พ

Yes, but Medeco rekeying requires specialized tools and authorized key blanks. We are equipped to handle Medeco and other high-security lock brands.
