What Is Lock Rekey?
Rekeying changes the internal configuration of an existing lock so that an old key no longer operates it. This can be useful when keys have changed hands or when a homeowner wants to control who still has access without replacing every lock.
The existing lock must be compatible with the rekeying process, and the work can be applied to individual locks or coordinated across compatible locks. Rekeying is different from replacing the hardware because the visible lock can remain in place.
Serve Kei lets homeowners request lock rekeying and explain how many locks are involved. A local locksmith can assess the existing hardware and quote the work.
What's Included in Lock Rekey
Scope depends on lock brand, cylinder type, and how many doors you want keyed alike. Common work includes:
- Rekeying entry lock cylinders to new keys
- Keying multiple doors alike when requested
- Master-key changes on compatible hardware
- Providing a full set of new operating keys
- Function testing each rekeyed door
- Identifying cylinders that are too worn to rekey reliably
- Optional simultaneous hardware tightening while on site
Book lock rekeying via Serve Kei with a local locksmith. Extra cylinders or worn hardware upgrades can be priced in the quote first.
Common Issues
- Just moved in and want prior keys voided
- Lost a house key and want peace of mind
- Ended a renovation and need contractor keys retired
- Want several doors on one key
