New Keys, Same Locks — Instant Peace of Mind

Rekeying a lock changes the internal pins so your old keys no longer work and only your new keys can open the door. It is the same level of security as a full lock replacement at a fraction of the cost and time.

Philadelphia homeowners and renters turn to us after moving into a new home in Fishtown, taking over a rental in West Philly, losing keys near Temple University, or dealing with a roommate change in South Philadelphia. Whatever the situation, rekeying your locks the same day is the smartest move you can make for your security.

We rekey all major lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Defiant, Baldwin, and more. Our technicians carry rekeying kits for virtually every cylinder on the market and can handle a single door or an entire property in one visit.

Common Situations

When Should You Rekey Your Locks?

Any time the wrong person might still have a key to your property, rekeying is the right call. Here are the most common situations we handle across Philadelphia every day.

🏠

Just Moved In

Previous owners, tenants, real estate agents, and contractors may all have copies of your keys. Rekey on move-in day.

🔑

Lost or Stolen Keys

If your keys are missing, you do not know who found them. Rekeying immediately eliminates the risk.

👥

Roommate or Tenant Change

Former roommates or outgoing tenants should never have access. Rekey after anyone with a key leaves.

🔨

After Construction

Contractors and service workers often hold keys during a project. Rekey once the work is done.

🚨

After a Break-In Attempt

Even if entry was not gained, a failed break-in can mean your lock was tampered with. Rekey or replace immediately.

💼

Employee Turnover

Philadelphia businesses should rekey after any employee departure. One of the most overlooked commercial security steps.

FAQ

Lock Rekeying Questions Answered

How much does it cost to rekey locks in Philadelphia?
Rekeying typically costs much less than replacing locks, often 50 to 80 percent less depending on the number of locks and brand. We give you a clear upfront quote before we start and most homes can have all entry doors rekeyed in a single affordable visit.
Can you rekey a lock without the original key?
In most cases, yes. Our locksmiths carry tools to pick or decode the existing lock cylinder so we can rekey it even if you do not have the original key. We may ask for proof of residence before proceeding.
How long does rekeying take?
Most single-lock rekeys take about 15 to 20 minutes on-site. A full home with three to five entry doors typically takes 45 minutes to an hour total. We carry kits for all major brands so there is no waiting for parts.
Can you key all my locks to one key?
Yes, and this is one of the most popular reasons people call us. We can rekey all the locks in your home or business to work on a single key in one visit. This is called a keyed-alike setup.
Is rekeying as secure as getting a new lock?
Yes, if the lock itself is in good condition. Rekeying completely changes which keys will operate the lock. The only reason to replace rather than rekey is if the hardware is damaged, worn, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security lock grade.
