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.
