What Is Lock Rekeying?

Rekeying a lock means changing the internal pin combination so that old keys no longer work. We remove the lock cylinder, replace the driver and key pins to match a new key cut, and provide you with new code-cut keys on the spot. The lock hardware stays the same — only the combination changes.

Rekeying is the right call when you've moved into a new home, lost a key, had a break-in, or want to ensure former tenants or employees no longer have access. It's typically faster and significantly cheaper than replacing the locks entirely.

Residential Rekeying — Vancouver WA

Just moved in? Had a break-in or lost your keys? We rekey all residential lock types — deadbolts, knob locks, lever locks, and handlesets. We can also rekey multiple locks to the same key so you only need one key for every door in your home.

Commercial Rekeying — Vancouver WA

Employee turnover, lost keys, or a security upgrade — we handle commercial rekeying for offices, warehouses, storefronts, and more. We also offer master rekeying: managers get a master key that opens every door, while employees only access their designated areas.

Automotive Rekeying — Vancouver WA

We rekey ignition cylinders and door locks for most vehicles. This is useful when you've lost a key and want to ensure no one else can start or enter your vehicle with the old key. We cut new keys to match the rekeyed cylinder on-site. Also see: Car Key Replacement and Auto Locksmith Services.
