Lock Rekeying Services in Dallas, TX

When to Choose Rekeying in Dallas

After moving in: When you buy or rent a new Dallas property, you don't know how many copies of the existing keys are floating around. Rekeying ensures you're the only person with working keys — without the expense of new hardware.

Lost or stolen keys: If a key is lost or stolen but your locks are in good condition, rekeying is faster and cheaper than full replacement.

Tenant or roommate change: Landlords and property managers in Dallas should rekey between tenants to prevent unauthorized access.

Relationship changes: After a breakup or divorce, rekeying ensures an ex-partner can no longer access the property.

Key consolidation: Have too many keys? We can rekey all your Dallas home locks to work with a single key — "keyed alike" — for convenience.

Our Rekeying Process

1. Cylinder removal: We remove the lock cylinder from the lock body — the lock hardware stays installed on the door. 2. Pin replacement: We replace the internal pins with a new combination that matches your new key. 3. Testing: The rekeyed lock is tested with both the new key (should work) and old key (should not work). 4. Key delivery: You receive new keys for all rekeyed locks. Most residential rekeying takes just 5-10 minutes per lock.

Rekeying Costs in Dallas

Rekeying is significantly less expensive than lock replacement because no new hardware is purchased. A typical rekey costs $25-50 per lock cylinder. A full-house rekey for a Dallas home with 3-5 exterior locks typically costs $100-200 total — including labor, new pins, and new keys. Volume discounts apply for rental properties and businesses with multiple locks.

How long does lock rekeying take?

Rekeying takes 5-10 minutes per lock. A full-house rekey (3-5 locks) is usually completed in 30-60 minutes.

Can you do same-day lock rekeying in Dallas?

Yes. We offer same-day lock rekeying throughout Dallas. In most cases, we can schedule service within a few hours of your call. Emergency situations are prioritized.

Can you rekey different brands to one key?

Rekeying to one key only works when all locks use the same keyway (key shape). Different brands (e.g., Schlage vs. Kwikset) have different keyways and cannot be rekeyed to one key. We can advise on your options during the service call.

Do you provide a warranty?

Yes. Our lock rekeying work is backed by a workmanship warranty, and all new hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty. We stand behind every job.
