Lock Rekeying Service — Brevard County, FL
Rekeying changes your lock's internal pins so old keys no longer work — only your new key does. Same hardware, instant security. Faster and less expensive than full lock replacement.
Common Reasons to Rekey Your Locks
🏠 Moved Into a New Home
You don't know who has copies of the previous owner's or tenant's key. Rekeying is the first thing every new homeowner should do.
🔑 Lost or Stolen Keys
If your keys are gone and you don't know where, rekeying immediately means whoever has them can't get in.
💔 Change in Household
Ended a relationship, changed roommates, or had a tenant move out? Rekey so old keys are dead the same day.
🏢 Employee Turnover
Departing employees shouldn't retain access. Rekeying commercial locks after turnover is standard security practice.
🗝️ One Key for All Locks
We can rekey multiple locks to match a single key — no more carrying a ring of different keys for your front, back, and deadbolt.
🛠️ After a Break-In
Even if the intruder didn't take your keys, rekey after any security incident to restore confidence in your locks.
Should You Rekey or Replace?
Both options restore security — the right choice depends on the condition of your hardware.
✅ Rekey — Best When:
- Lock hardware is in good condition
- You just want new keys
- Doing multiple locks at once
- Budget is a priority
- Speed is important
🔧 Replace — Best When:
- Lock is worn, damaged, or stiff
- You want a security upgrade
- Adding a deadbolt where none exists
- Switching to a smart/keypad lock
- Lock is an older, lower-security model

Lock Rekeying — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rekeying cost?
Rekeying is typically much less expensive than replacing locks. Cost depends on the number of locks and brand. Call for a quick phone quote — we're upfront about pricing before we dispatch.
How long does rekeying take?
About 10–20 minutes per lock on-site. Most homes with 3–5 locks are fully rekeyed in under an hour in a single visit.
Do I need the original key to rekey?
No. If you've lost your only key, we can pick or bypass the lock first, then rekey it. This is common after a lockout or lost-key situation.
Can you rekey all my locks to one key?
Yes — and we recommend it. We match all your door locks to a single key so you don't need multiple keys for your home.
Is rekeying as secure as buying a new lock?
Yes, assuming your existing hardware is in good condition. The key pins are replaced with a new combination that only your new key matches. The security level doesn't change — only which key works.
What if I need a lockout first?
No problem. We can perform a home lockout and rekey in the same visit — just let us know when you call.
