What affects the price for lock rekeying?
The exact price for lock rekeying depends on your specific lock, hardware, and timing. The technician inspects the situation on-site and confirms the exact price before any work begins:
-
Number of locks
Rekeying multiple locks adds labor per cylinder; the technician quotes the total on-site.
-
Lock type and brand
Standard pin-tumbler locks are simpler to rekey than high-security or some smart-lock cylinders.
-
Keying locks alike
Making several locks share one key requires that they use the same keyway.
-
Number of new keys
Ask how many keys are included and what extra copies cost.

Lock Rekeying FAQs
What's the difference between rekeying and changing locks?
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so it works with a new key; the hardware stays. Changing a lock replaces the hardware. Rekeying usually costs less if your locks are in good condition.
Can all my locks work with one key?
Often, yes — if the locks share the same keyway. The technician checks your locks and tells you whether they can be keyed alike.
Can smart locks be rekeyed?
Many smart locks have a standard backup cylinder that can be rekeyed. Some brands use their own system. Mention the brand when you call.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, someone with proof of residence or authorization from the owner needs to be present to let the technician in and receive the new keys.
How is the price calculated for multiple locks?
The price reflects the visit and labor per lock. The technician inspects the locks and confirms the exact total before starting.
