LOCK REKEY SERVICE

WHAT WE DO
ON A REKEY

Rekeying changes the keying inside your current house or office locks so old keys stop working. Here is how a typical job goes.

ASSESS THE
HARDWARE

We check whether your locks are sound enough to rekey, or whether replacing the hardware makes more sense when locks are worn, outdated, or you want an upgrade.

MATCH THE
KEYING

We rekey cylinders so one new key can work the doors you choose, or keep separate keys where that is better.

TEST AND
HAND OFF

We test each door, leave you with the new keys, and confirm old keys no longer work. Price is confirmed before work starts.

Some high-security or restricted keyways need special blanks or authorization.
We confirm what we can finish on site before we start.

WHEN TO CALL

WHEN A REKEY
MAKES SENSE

  • Roommate, tenant, or employee left and you want old keys voided.
  • Lost a house or office key and you still trust the lock hardware.
  • Property turnover for a realtor or property manager.
  • You want several doors on one key without buying all-new locks.

Choose a lock change instead when locks are broken, you want better hardware, or you are changing the look after a remodel.

FAQ

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about rekeying house and office locks in Dallas and Fort Worth.

What is the difference between rekey and lock change?

Rekey keeps your existing locks and changes the keying so old keys stop working. A lock change replaces the hardware. If the locks are sound, rekey is often the simpler path.

Can all my doors use one key?

Often yes. We can key alike many residential and light commercial cylinders so one key opens the doors you choose. Mixed brands or restricted keyways may limit options. We confirm on site.

Do you rekey apartments and rental turnovers?

Yes, for owners, managers, and authorized agents with proof of authority. Bring ID and management or ownership paperwork when relevant.

How long does a typical rekey take?

It depends on the number of doors and lock types. We give a realistic window when we know the scope. We do not promise a fixed minute range.

I am locked out right now. Is rekey what I need?

First get inside. After you are in, we can rekey so lost or old keys stop working.
