Lock Rekeying & Installation
Lock Rekeying & Installation in Austin, TX
Rekeying swaps the pins inside the cylinder so the old key stops working. The lock on your door stays where it is, and the bill stays small.

Common questions
How many keys do I get?
Two cut keys per keyway as standard, and extras are a couple of dollars each while we are on site.
Will the old keys still work?
No. That is the whole point. Once a cylinder is rekeyed every previous key is dead.
Can you rekey a smart lock?
Yes, the mechanical override cylinder in most smart deadbolts rekeys like any other.

Locked myself out at eleven at night with a toddler asleep upstairs. Quoted me on the phone, arrived in half an hour, had the door open in under five minutes without a scratch on it. Charged exactly what was quoted.

We turn over about forty units a year and they handle every rekey. Invoiced to the office, keying schedule emailed the same day, never had to chase them.

Dealer wanted a tow plus two days for a lost Kia key. These guys did it in my driveway in about an hour for a lot less. Two keys, both tested before he left.

Panic bar failed on a Friday during service. They came out after close, fixed it properly and talked me through what the inspector would be looking for.
