Common questions about our locksmith services
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your lock so that old keys no longer work, and you get new keys. The lock hardware stays the same. It's faster and more affordable than replacing the entire lock. We recommend rekeying when you move into a new home, after a roommate moves out, or anytime you want to control who has access.
Most residential rekeys take about 10–15 minutes per lock. A full home (3–5 locks) is typically done in under an hour. We work efficiently and respect your time.
Yes, we require that someone with legal authority over the property be present during the service. This protects your security and ours. For commercial properties, an authorized representative should be on-site.
We work with all major brands including Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin, Emtek, Weslock, Weiser, Defiant, EZset, NuSet, Cal-Royal, and many more. If you have an unusual brand, just ask — chances are we can help.
