When Rekeying Makes More Sense Than Replacing
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock cylinders so old keys stop working, without swapping out the hardware itself. It's the fastest, most cost-effective way to secure a business after an employee leaves, a set of keys goes missing, or you take over a lease from a previous tenant and have no idea how many copies of the old keys are floating around.
Because the lock body, strike plate, and trim stay in place, rekeying is quicker and less disruptive than a full lock change, and it works on the same commercial hardware you already have — cylindrical locksets, deadbolts, mortise locks, and exit device cylinders.
How Commercial Rekeying Works
A locksmith opens each cylinder, removes the existing pin set, and installs new pins that match a fresh key. Every lock on the property can be rekeyed to a single new key, or organized into a keying hierarchy so different departments or areas use different keys under one system.
We rekey full facilities in one visit where possible, scheduled around your business hours so operations aren't interrupted. Once the work is done, every key not reissued to current staff simply stops opening the doors.
- Staff turnover or terminated employees
- Lost or unreturned keys
- New lease or property takeover
- Consolidating multiple locks to one key
