Lock Rekeying Services in Reno & Sparks
Rekeying changes which keys operate your existing locks without automatically replacing all of the hardware. It is a practical option after moving, losing a key, changing tenants, or whenever you want better control over who has access.
A Practical Way to Regain Key Control
Change Who Has Access Without Replacing Every Lock
Rekeying changes the internal keying of compatible locks so old keys no longer operate them. It can be a practical solution for homes, businesses, rental properties, and other situations where access needs to change.
New Home Rekeying
Start fresh after moving into a home when you do not know how many copies of the previous keys may still be in circulation.
Rental & Tenant Turnover
Change access between tenants while keeping compatible existing lock hardware in place.
Lost or Unreturned Keys
Rekey locks when keys have been lost, stolen, loaned out, or never returned and you want the old keys to stop working.
Business Rekeying
Update access after employee changes, management transitions, lost keys, vendor access, or other changes at a commercial property.
Keyed-Alike Locks
When compatible hardware allows it, multiple locks can often be rekeyed so one key operates several doors.
Master Key Systems
Organize access for offices, multi-door buildings, rental properties, and managed facilities where different people need access to different doors.

Common Questions About Rekeying
Rekeying can be a practical alternative to replacing locks, but the right option depends on the condition and compatibility of the existing hardware.
-
What does it mean to rekey a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal keying of the lock so the old key no longer works and a new key operates the existing lock.
-
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Rekeying is often more economical when the existing hardware is still in good condition because the entire lock does not need to be replaced.
-
Can you rekey a lock if I do not have the original key?
In many cases, yes. The exact approach depends on the type and condition of the lock, so the hardware should be inspected before determining the best option.
-
Can several locks be made to work with one key?
Often, yes. If the locks use compatible keyways, they may be able to be keyed alike so one key operates multiple doors.
-
Should I rekey after buying a house?
Many homeowners choose to rekey after moving because they may not know how many copies of the previous keys are still in circulation.
-
Can you rekey businesses and rental properties?
Yes. Rekeying is available for homes, businesses, rentals, apartment communities, and managed properties when access needs change.
