The practical choice depends on the hardware
Rekey when the lock works well
The cylinder is changed internally so old keys stop working. It is often the efficient move after buying a home, tenant turnover or a lost key.
Replace when hardware is worn
Replacement fits damaged locks, unreliable latches, missing keys plus severe wear, or a planned security and style upgrade.
Door condition, cylinder count, hardware and time affect final price. You approve it before work.
Four locks, one new key in Queen Anne
A new homeowner wanted every old key invalidated. Four cylinders were rekeyed to one key and completed in 51 minutes.
Good questions before changing a lock
Can all my doors use one key?
Often yes when the cylinders use compatible keyways. We inspect them before promising a single-key setup.
Should I rekey after moving in?
Rekeying is a sensible way to make unknown old copies stop working while keeping serviceable hardware.
Can you install a smart lock I purchased?
Yes for compatible doors and hardware. Door alignment and bore dimensions are checked before installation.
Can a lockout be opened without drilling?
Non-destructive entry is the first approach. Damage, malfunction or high-security hardware can change the method.
Do you service mailbox and garage locks?
Yes, subject to ownership authorization and hardware availability.
