Lock Change & Rekey
New keys for the locks you already have — the fastest real security upgrade in Virginia.
Rekeying replaces the pins inside your existing cylinders so the old key stops working and a fresh key takes over. It is the move-in essential, the roommate-change answer, and the landlord’s turnover standard. When hardware is worn or low-grade, we will say so and quote the change honestly — but we never sell a replacement a rekey would have solved.
When to Call
- Move-in day — the previous occupants’ keys are unaccounted for
- A relationship, roommate or tenant changed
- Keys were lost or stolen, or lent and never returned
- Contractors had access during a renovation
- One key for everything is the goal
What It Covers
- Full rekey of all exterior cylinders
- Keyed-alike conversion across doors
- Fresh keys cut on site, tested in every lock
- Wear inspection with honest replace-vs-rekey advice
- Landlord turnover service with documentation
Lock Change & Rekey Questions
Rekey or replace — how do I choose?
If the lock body is sound and the grade is decent, rekey. If it is worn, rusty, builder-cheap or you want a new function, replace. Expect us to show you the difference on your own door.
How many keys do I get?
Sets are cut to your household’s needs on site, and additional copies are quick. Ask about restricted blanks if copies worry you.
Can you rekey a smart lock?
The electronic side has no pins — instead we reset codes and credentials, and rekey its mechanical backup cylinder. Both halves get done, or the job is not done.
