Moving into a home

Keep serviceable locks and change the keys that operate them

Rekeying changes the pins or compatible cylinder so the planned new key opens the lock and prior keys do not. It can be a practical move-in choice when the deadbolts and knobs still operate normally.

Different brands and cylinder formats may use more than one keyway even when the locks look similar. A sticking deadbolt, loose knob, or damaged latch may need mechanical service or new hardware in addition to the key change.

Several doors on one key

Compatible cylinders can sometimes be grouped so selected exterior doors use the same new key.

One lock does not operate normally

The other locks can be rekeyed while the failing door is assessed separately.

Need a spare vehicle key or lost the only key?

Adding a spare while one key still starts the vehicle is usually simpler than creating a replacement without a usable original.

One usable key remains and another is wanted

Bring the usable key to the vehicle. The year, make, model, key style, and available compatible part determine whether another key can be cut and programmed.
