The process of rekeying your home or business’s locks is a cost effective way to utilize your existing locks while maintaining full control of who has access to your residence or commercial property. In order to rekey your locks, our locksmith technicians will visit your property, inspect all locks to ensure functionality, discuss your security needs and the cost involved for the rekey. Once the inspection is complete, our technician will then replace the inner mechanisms of your lock system and cut new keys to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the benefits of rekeying over replacing locks?
Rekeying a lock involves a locksmith modifying its internal components, so it works with a new key while retaining the existing hardware. This process is typically more affordable than replacing the entire lock system, quicker to complete, and preserves the original lock's appearance.
- When should you replace vs. rekeying your locks?
If you've recently moved into a new home or lost your keys, it may be a good time to consider simply rekeying your lock system over replacing. However, if the system is aged, has significant wear and tear, is due for an upgrade whether that be for aesthetics or to improve the technology, then replacing is likely the best option.
Master Key System
A Master Key System allows for complete access control for building owners. Sure Lock & Key Locksmiths will establish a main Master Key for your commercial property that will grant access to every lock within the building. Each separate door, or office space, can then be rekeyed to function with their own individual lock and key allowing for selective access.
