Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the lock's internal pins so it works with a new key; the hardware stays. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is faster and usually sufficient when the existing hardware is in good shape.
How long does a rekey take?
A single residential door takes minutes. A full apartment or small office is typically done within the hour.
Will the old keys work afterward?
No — that is the entire point. Old keys will turn in the cylinder but will not operate it.
Can you make all my locks work with one key?
Yes, as long as the locks share a compatible keyway. We assess your hardware on arrival and key everything alike where possible.
Do I need to buy new locks for a rekey?
Not if your current locks are sound. We only recommend replacement when hardware is worn, damaged, or a low-grade lock worth upgrading.
