Frequently asked questions
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Usually, yes. Rekeying reuses your existing lock hardware and only changes the internal pins, so you pay per barrel plus a callout rather than for new locks and fitting. If your locks are worn, damaged or you want a security upgrade, replacing can be the better value. Our rekey vs replace calculator compares both for your situation.
Should I rekey after moving into a new home?
Yes. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the old keys are out there with previous owners, tradespeople or agents. Rekeying is a fast, affordable way to guarantee only your keys work from day one.
Can all my locks be keyed to one key?
In most cases, yes, provided the locks are compatible. Keyed-alike setups let one key open every external door, which is far more convenient than a keyring of different keys. A locksmith confirms compatibility when quoting.
