Mobile Lock Rekeying in Hedwig Village
Our technicians can perform many rekeying services directly at the property.
Before beginning, the technician evaluates the existing locks to determine whether they are compatible with rekeying and whether the hardware is in suitable condition.
Rekey service may be available for:
- Front door locks
- Back door locks
- Deadbolts
- Entry knobs
- Lever locks
- Residential properties
- Rental properties
- Offices
- Compatible commercial locks
Not every lock can or should be rekeyed, so the hardware must first be evaluated.
Rekey Your Locks After Moving
When moving into a different property, you may receive keys from the previous owner, tenant, landlord, or property manager.
What you may not know is how many additional copies were made in the past.
For compatible hardware, rekeying can make the previous keys stop operating the rekeyed locks while allowing you to use newly configured keys.
This can provide better control over who currently has working access.
Rekeying After Losing a Key
If a key is missing and you are concerned that someone could find it, rekeying may be an option.
Once a compatible lock is successfully rekeyed, the previous key should no longer operate that lock.
If the lock itself is damaged or heavily worn, replacement may be more appropriate than rekeying.
A technician can inspect the hardware before recommending an option.
Rekeying Multiple Doors
Have several doors that currently use different keys?
Depending on the lock brands, keyways, and hardware compatibility, it may be possible to configure multiple compatible locks to operate with the same key.
This can reduce the number of keys needed for everyday access.
Compatibility must be evaluated before determining whether several locks can share one key.
Rental Property Rekey Service
Rekeying can also be useful when occupancy changes at a rental property.
Authorized landlords and property managers may request rekeying between tenants or after access-control concerns.
Tenants requesting changes to property-owned locks may need approval from the landlord or management company.
Fast Locksmith 24/7 can evaluate the existing hardware and determine available options after authorization is confirmed.
Residential Lock Rekeying
Many common residential deadbolts, knobs, and lever locks are designed with cylinders that can potentially be rekeyed.
If the existing hardware works properly and you simply want different keys, rekeying may avoid replacing otherwise usable locks.
The technician will inspect each lock before determining whether rekeying is appropriate.
Commercial Lock Rekeying
Rekey service may also be available for compatible locks at offices and other commercial properties.
Businesses may consider rekeying after employee changes, lost keys, tenant changes, or other situations where control over existing keys is important.
Commercial hardware varies considerably, so service depends on the lock system and property requirements.
Rekeying vs. Replacing a Lock
Rekeying and lock replacement are two different services.
Rekeying changes which key operates compatible existing hardware.
Lock replacement removes the existing lock and installs different hardware.
Rekeying may make sense when the existing lock is functional and compatible. Replacement may be more appropriate when hardware is damaged, worn, incompatible, or when you want a different type of lock.
A technician can evaluate the existing setup before work begins.
