What Rekeying Actually Means
We disassemble your existing lock cylinder and rearrange the internal pins to match a new key. This process changes the internal configuration without requiring you to remove the hardware from your door or replace the entire lockset. By altering the pin heights, we make all previous keys useless while ensuring the new key operates the mechanism perfectly. It is a faster and more cost-effective alternative to full lock replacement, allowing you to keep your current high-quality hardware while completely resetting the security of your home or business in Pace.
When to Rekey
A rekey is necessary the moment a key is lost or stolen, as you cannot be certain who possesses a duplicate. It is also the standard procedure when moving into a new property in Pace, ensuring previous owners or contractors no longer have access. We recommend rekeying after a change in household staff or when a tenant vacates a rental. Instead of replacing every deadbolt and knob, we simply reset the cylinders to give you total control over who enters your building.
Matching Multiple Locks to One Key
We align the internal pin sets of several different locks so they all operate with a single key. This eliminates the need for a bulky keychain and reduces the risk of using the wrong key during an emergency. Whether you have a front door, back door, and garage entry, we can synchronize them for seamless access. Our mobile technicians bring the necessary tooling to your Pace location, ensuring every cylinder is precisely keyed alike for maximum convenience without sacrificing the security of your perimeter.
Locks We Can and Can't Rekey
We rekey most standard residential deadbolts, knob locks, and commercial cylinders. If your lock uses a traditional pin-and-tumbler system, we can likely reset it on-site. However, we cannot rekey high-security electronic locks that utilize non-serviceable chips or specific patented hardware that requires factory-direct resets. Some heavily corroded or damaged cylinders may also be beyond rekeying and will require a full replacement to ensure reliable operation. We assess the condition of your hardware upon arrival in Pace to determine if a rekey is the viable solution for your specific lock.
