How long does rekeying take?
Most single locks can be rekeyed in 15-30 minutes. A typical home with 3-4 locks usually takes about an hour. We work efficiently to minimize any inconvenience.
Is rekeying as secure as replacing the lock?
Yes! When performed properly, rekeying provides the same security as a new lock. The lock mechanism is changed so old keys won't work, making it just as secure as replacement for most situations.
Can all my locks be rekeyed to use the same key?
In most cases, yes! If your locks are the same brand and type, we can rekey them all to work with a single key. This is much more convenient than carrying multiple keys.
Should I rekey or replace my locks when moving into a new home?
Rekeying is usually sufficient and more affordable if the locks are in good condition. However, if locks are old, damaged, or you want to upgrade security, replacement might be the better option. We'll assess and recommend the best solution.
Do you provide the new keys?
Yes! We provide new keys with every rekeying or lock replacement service. We can make as many copies as you need on the spot.
How quickly can you respond for emergency rekeying?
We offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations like lost keys or security breaches. Our mobile technicians can typically arrive within 30-60 minutes in Montgomery County.
