Request Rekeying Service

Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock cylinder so existing keys no longer work. The lockset stays in place. American Doors Commercial Locksmith provides commercial rekeying services throughout Colorado for businesses, property managers, schools, government facilities, and institutions.

Our mobile service vans bring rekeying capabilities directly to your Colorado Springs, Pueblo, or Denver location. For properties on an existing master key system, we maintain compatibility with your key hierarchy while issuing new change keys.

WHEN TO REKEY YOUR LOCKS

Tenant Turnover

Prevents former tenants from accessing the space. Eliminates unknown key copies in circulation. Resets security without hardware replacement. Maintains master key compatibility for property management.

Employee Termination

Terminated employees may retain key copies. Former employees may have shared keys with others. Rekey immediately for sensitive positions - finance, HR, executive offices.

Lost or Stolen Keys

Keys can be duplicated before being found. Lost keys may end up in wrong hands. Stolen keys indicate targeted interest in your property. Rekey affected locks promptly.

Security Incidents

After break-ins or attempted break-ins, existing keys may have been copied or compromised. Incident investigation may reveal key control failures. Insurance may require documented security improvements.

Acquisition or Merger

Previous owner or tenant key holders lose authorized access. New organization establishes fresh key control. Opportunity to implement improved keying systems during the transition.

REKEYING VS. REPLACING LOCKS

Rekey When

Hardware is in good condition
Same keyway is acceptable
Cost savings matter (rekeying costs 50-75% less than replacement)
Existing master key system must be maintained
Fast turnaround needed

Replace When

Hardware is worn, damaged, or malfunctioning
Security upgrade to higher-grade hardware required
Changing from one manufacturer to another
Adding features (deadbolts, restricted keyways)
Aesthetic update desired

Our recommendation: We assess your hardware condition and advise honestly. We don't push unnecessary replacements. But we won't rekey failing hardware that should be replaced.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Rekeying FAQs

How much does commercial rekeying cost?

Rekeying costs depend on the number of locks, cylinder type, and whether the work can be done on-site or requires shop service. Standard commercial cylinders cost less than high-security restricted keyway cylinders. Contact us for a quote.

How long does rekeying take?

A single door takes 15-30 minutes on-site. Building-wide rekeying depends on scale. A 20-door office might take half a day. A 100-door facility could take several days with phased scheduling.

Can you rekey locks to match my existing keys?

Yes. We can rekey locks to be keyed alike (all using the same key) or to match your existing master key system. Bring us a sample key and we can determine compatibility.

Do you rekey high-security locks?

Yes. We rekey Medeco, Schlage Primus, and other high-security cylinders. These typically require shop service rather than mobile rekeying due to specialized equipment requirements.

What if my locks are old or damaged?

We assess hardware condition during service. If locks are worn or malfunctioning, we recommend replacement rather than rekeying hardware that may fail. We advise honestly.

Do you provide emergency rekeying?

Yes. Same-day and next-day rekeying is available for security emergencies during business hours. After-hours emergency service is limited.
