Rekey & Lock Change in Montgomery County
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so a new key works and every old key does not. Same hardware, same finish, same door — new key. It is the right answer far more often than replacing the lock, and it costs less.
Landlords and property managers in Norristown, Willow Grove and Lansdale use us for turnover work because it is fast and it is per-cylinder. A two-bedroom unit between tenants is usually in and out.
If someone keeps copying your keys at the hardware store, ask about a restricted keyway. Those blanks are not sold retail — copies come from us, on your authorization, and nowhere else.
How a rekey actually goes
- 1
Work out what needs to die
Every key that exists for the property, and who has one. Previous owner, contractor, dog walker, realtor lockbox, the ex-tenant who said they returned everything.
- 2
New pins, same hardware
The cylinder comes apart, the pin stack changes, a new key is cut to match. Your locks, your finish, your doors — and every old key stops working the moment we are done.
- 3
Keyed alike where possible
Compatible brands go onto a single key. Incompatible ones we flag, with the cost of matching them, so you can decide whether it is worth it.
- 4
Restricted keys, if copying is the problem
If keys keep appearing, we can move you to a keyway whose blanks are not sold retail. Copies then come from us, on your written authorization, and from nowhere else.
Rekey & Lock Change — common questions
How long does a whole-house rekey take?
A typical single-family home with four to six cylinders is usually under an hour once we are on site.
Can I keep my existing locks?
In most cases yes — that is the whole point of a rekey. We will flag anything that is too worn to be worth keeping.
I just bought a house. Do I really need this?
Yes. You do not know who has a working key — previous owners, contractors, cleaners, a realtor lockbox. It is the cheapest security decision you will make all year.
