What Is Lock Rekeying?

When you call us for mobile lock rekeying service we come prepared with all the tools, parts, and equipment needed to rekey standard, high-security, and IC Core lock cylinders (shown).

When a locksmith rekeys a lock, they replace the pins inside the lock cylinder to work with a new key. We use specialized tools to remove the cylinder plug, swap out the old pins, and install new pins matched to a new key. This process is ideal for homeowners who want better control over who has access to their doors.

When we rekey the lock cylinder, you keep the same hardware on your doors, but access is reset. This makes lock rekeying a cost-effective and secure option when compared to complete door lock replacement. We perform this service for standard locks, deadbolts, privacy locks, and select smart locks.

When to Rekey Your Home’s Locks

Homeowners in the Orlando area regularly call us to rekey their locks in the following situations:

  • After moving into a new house or condo
  • When keys are lost or stolen
  • After a break-in or attempted forced entry
  • Between rental tenants or vacation guests
  • To ensure that old contractors or previous owners no longer have access

In each case, we confirm the locks are secure, the new keys function correctly, and no old keys will work. This is a significant money saver compared to the cost of replacing or changing locks on your property.

Single-Key Convenience Across All Doors

If your house has multiple locks with different keys, we can rekey them to operate using the same key, provided the lock brands and models are compatible. This makes it easier to carry fewer keys and still maintain full access to every entry point in the home.

During our visit, we identify which locks can be keyed alike and explain any limitations based on the type of lock. Our locksmiths work with trusted brands such as Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, and other popular residential lock manufacturers.

Rekeying Services for Rentals and Investment Properties

Owner, Gabriel Suniaga, and his lock rekeying setup in a company van Orlando has a large number of rental homes, vacation properties, and Airbnbs, and the locations that don’t have smart locks will rekey the entry door locks between tenants or guests to prevent unauthorized access. We provide mobile lock rekeying services for landlords, real estate investors, and property managers who require reliable turnaround times and consistent security.

We rekey locks across multiple doors, cut new keys, and confirm that each entry point is secure. This service supports homes, condos, and townhouses across Central Florida. 

Lock Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks

Many people believe you must replace a lock to change access, but rekeying is usually the better option. It provides the same level of security while maintaining your existing hardware. This means fewer parts, lower costs, and shorter service times.

We only recommend full lock replacement when the hardware is worn, damaged, or outdated. Our locksmiths inspect each lock and explain whether rekeying or replacement is the right choice.

FAQs About Our Lock Rekey Service and Other Professional Locksmith Services

What is lock rekeying, and how does it work?

Lock rekeying is the process of changing the pins inside a lock cylinder so that the old key no longer fits. We remove the cylinder plug, install new pins matched to a new key, and test the rekeyed lock before completing the job. This keeps your existing door locks and hardware in place while giving you new keys and updated security.

Do I need to replace my locks to change who has access?

No. You can rekey locks without replacing them entirely. Rekeying is a cost-effective way to remove access from old keys—such as after a move or when keys are lost or stolen—while keeping your current door locks and hardware intact.

Can you rekey all my house locks to work with the same key?

Yes, when the locks are compatible or from the same brand, we can rekey them to work with one key. This is a simple way to reduce how many copies you carry and streamline access across all exterior and interior doors in your home.

Do you rekey locks on-site at my house?

Yes. We are a mobile locksmith service based in Orlando, FL, and we rekey house locks directly at your location. We bring all the specialized tools and parts needed to complete the rekeying process for deadbolts, privacy locks, and standard hardware.

Is rekeying recommended after moving into a new home?

Yes. Many homeowners request lock rekeying after buying a new house. This prevents former owners, realtors, tenants, or contractors from using old keys to access the property. It’s one of the most affordable ways to protect your home’s security.

Do you rekey smart locks or electronic locks?

We rekey certain smart locks and electronic locks, depending on the model and design. In some cases, rekeying is not supported and full lock replacement or new lock installation may be required. We inspect each lock on-site and explain the available options.

How long does a rekeying service take?

Most residential rekey services take under one hour. The exact time depends on how many door locks you need rekeyed and whether the locks are from the same brand or lock type. Our locksmiths bring the right tools to complete the job during a single visit.

What types or brands of locks do you rekey?

We rekey locks from Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, and other major manufacturers used in Florida homes. We service deadbolts, knob locks, lever locks, and select smart locks. Our locksmiths confirm compatibility during inspection and complete the rekey service on-site.

Is your rekeying service covered by a warranty?

Yes. All rekeying services include a 30-day labor warranty and a 90-day warranty on replacement parts under normal use. This applies to house locks, rekeyed cylinders, and any new keys provided during the job.
