Revoke old key access without replacing your lock. Our NYC locksmiths rekey all lock types quickly and affordably โ perfect for new tenants, lost keys, or keyed-alike setups.
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.
Rekeying costs significantly less than replacing a lock while achieving the same result: fresh key control.
We can rekey multiple locks so they all operate on a single key โ great for NYC apartments with multiple entry points.
Most rekeying jobs are completed within 10โ15 minutes per lock. We bring key-cutting equipment on every job.
We rekey all major residential and commercial lock brands: Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Baldwin, and virtually any other brand.
