Lock Rekeying in Renton & Seattle
Moved into a home or need to change who has access? Rekey compatible locks so previous keys no longer operate the cylinders we service.
Tell us your city, the number of locks and whether you have a working key. Confirm pricing and estimated arrival before dispatch.
A Fresh Start for Your Home’s Keys
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a compatible lock cylinder to work with a different key. It can be a practical option when your existing hardware is in good condition and you want to change access without replacing the entire lock.
After Moving In
Take control of access when you are unsure who still has copies of the previous keys.
Lost or Unreturned Keys
Ask about rekeying after losing a key or when a previous occupant has not returned every copy.
Rental Turnovers
Owners and authorized property managers can arrange rekeying between tenants. Share the number of doors and your scheduling needs.
Rekey or Replace the Lock?
Rekeying may suit functioning locks when the main goal is to change the keys. Replacement may be more appropriate for worn, damaged or incompatible hardware, or when you want different features. We can discuss the options after checking your locks.
Want several doors to use one key? Some locks can be keyed alike when the cylinders and keyways are compatible. Send clear photos of the locks and existing key to help us assess the request.
How to Request Service
- Share your location and lock count. Include deadbolts and doorknobs, whether a key works now, and any access problems.
- Confirm the scope and quote. Pricing depends on the cylinders, hardware condition, keys required and service location.
- Authorize the work. Be prepared to show that you own, occupy or are authorized to manage the property.
- Test the keys. Check each serviced lock from both sides before the visit is complete.
Common Rekeying Questions
Do I need a working key?
A working key is helpful, but tell us if it is missing. The available options and cost depend on the lock and whether access to the cylinder is possible.
Can every lock be rekeyed?
No. Compatibility, condition and the lock design matter. Send photos so we can advise whether rekeying or replacement is appropriate.
Will the old keys still work?
Old keys should no longer operate the cylinders that have been rekeyed to a different key. Other locks that were not serviced remain unchanged.
How much does rekeying cost?
Request a quote with your address, number of cylinders and hardware details. Confirm the service scope and total before work begins; additional hardware or access work can change the price.
Can you help if I am locked out?
Yes, we also offer house lockout assistance. Let us know you cannot enter, since gaining entry is separate from rekeying and may affect the quote.
