Lock Rekeying Service in Missouri City
There are many situations where you may want old keys to stop working even though your locks are still in good condition.
Our locksmith technicians can inspect your existing locks, determine whether they can be rekeyed, and explain the available options before beginning the service.
Rekeying may be useful for:
- Moving into a new home
- Lost or missing keys
- Tenant changes
- Employee changes
- Unknown copies of existing keys
- Updating access to a rental property
- Making compatible locks operate with a new key
Rekey Your Locks After Moving Into a New Home
When you move into a house, you may receive keys from the previous owner, but you may not know how many additional copies were made over the years.
Rekeying compatible exterior locks allows you to keep the existing hardware while changing the key that operates the locks.
Fast Locksmith 24/7 can inspect the locks throughout your property and determine which ones can be rekeyed.
Lost Keys and Lock Rekeying
Losing a house or business key can create uncertainty about who may find it.
If your locks are still functioning properly, rekeying may be an option to prevent the missing key from continuing to operate those locks.
A technician can evaluate the existing hardware and determine whether rekeying or replacement is more appropriate.
Rekey Multiple Locks to One Key
Carrying several keys for different doors can be inconvenient.
When locks have compatible keyways and hardware, it may be possible to rekey multiple locks so they operate with the same key. This can make everyday access simpler for homeowners, landlords, and businesses.
The technician must inspect the locks to confirm compatibility.
Residential Rekey Service
Our residential rekey services can help homeowners, renters, landlords, and property managers update access to houses, rental properties, and other residential locations.
Depending on compatibility, we can rekey many common door locks and deadbolts without replacing the complete lock assembly.
Commercial Lock Rekeying
Businesses may need locks rekeyed after employee turnover, lost keys, management changes, or other access-control concerns.
Fast Locksmith 24/7 can inspect compatible commercial locks and help determine an appropriate rekeying solution for the property.
Rekey vs. Lock Replacement
Rekeying and replacing a lock are two different services.
Rekeying changes the internal pins or components so a different key operates the existing lock.
Lock replacement removes the existing hardware and installs a different lock.
If the current lock is functioning properly and you simply need old keys to stop working, rekeying may be sufficient. If the lock is damaged, heavily worn, or you want different hardware, replacement may be more appropriate.
