What Lock Rekeying Means
We rekey your lock with new pins so new keys will work seamlessly and efficiently.
Lock rekeying resets the combination inside the lock cylinder. We install new pins that match a new key and keep the existing lock body on the door. Your hardware stays in place, and your keys change without a full replacement.
Rekey service fits most deadbolts, knobs, levers, mortise cylinders, rim cylinders, and IC cores. The process is efficient on multi-door sites and helps control cost. We finish with on-door testing so that the door latches seat cleanly at the strike.
When Rekeying Makes Sense
- New home, new tenant, staff changes, or vendor turnover
- Lost or stolen keys with working hardware on the door
- One-key setups across several doors of the same brand and keyway
- Risk reduction on sound locks without replacing everything
Lock Rekey vs Lock Replacement
You can rekey locks to reset access on hardware that still works. This path saves money and keeps the door’s edge intact. You should choose replacement if the latch binds, the housing cracks, or the deadbolt throw no longer meets your security goals.
Rekeying scales with your site. You can add doors later and keep one key plan across the property. We align pinning with your master key system so owners, managers, and teams use the proper levels.
One Key Across Multiple Locks
Many customers want one key for front, side, and back entries. We confirm brand and keyway across those doors and then pin for the same key. You carry fewer keys and access stays simple for families and teams.
Master Key Systems and IC Cores
Rekeying keeps key control clear on larger sites. We build or maintain a master key system with defined levels that match real roles. Interchangeable cores allow quick resets with a control key, so changeovers finish on schedule.
Restricted keyways improve control over duplication. We support proprietary platforms such as ASSA Abloy Twin 6000 and MX Alpha. Your records show who holds which keys, and new cuts follow authorization.
Hardware Health and Door Fit
Locks last longer on doors that close straight. We align hinges and strike plates so bolts land at center. Jamb reinforcement increases holding power at the strike side and resists pry attempts at busy entries.
Weatherstripping and gasketing tighten gaps that invite dust and drafts across the Panhandle. Clean edges reduce force on latches and protect pins from grit. For smart locks with a keyed cylinder, we rekey the cylinder and run a full function check.
How Our Rekey Service Works
We start with a short walkthrough and a door list. The locksmith removes the cylinder plug, installs new pins, and sets a precise fit. We test every key on the door, group “same key” openings on request, and update your key record.
Service Area and Scheduling
We rekey locks in Amarillo, Canyon, Hereford, Borger, Dumas, Pampa, Plainview, and other towns within 60 miles. Appointments fit home and business hours so entries remain usable during service. You receive an itemized estimate with parts and labor on separate lines.
