Lock Rekeying Services

Expert Residential and Commercial Lock Rekeying Services in Gainesville, FL

Be Secure Locksmith offers lock rekeying services to improve security and simplify key management for residential and commercial customers. Rekeying a lock is an efficient and budget-friendly alternative to replacing it. Instead of changing the entire lock, our technicians rekey the lock by changing the pins in the internal lock cylinder so it works with a unique new key. Our experienced locksmiths can rekey a wide variety of locks, including doorknob locks, deadbolts, smart locks, high-security locks, padlocks, car door locks, and automotive ignition locks. If you have a lock and aren’t sure if it can be rekeyed, give us a call, and we’ll let you know.

When You Should Rekey Your Locks

Here are a few common situations where we recommend you rekey your locks for improved security and peace of mind:

• You buy a new home or commercial property and want to make sure you’re the only one with access.
• Your keys are lost or stolen – Rather than worry about who has your keys, and if they’ll use them to get into your home or business, you can regain your peace of mind by calling us to rekey your locks.
• After apartment tenant and employee turnover – Residential and commercial property managers can keep security tight and make their tenants feel safe by making sure old keys can’t be used to gain access to their properties.
• You want to reduce the number of keys you use – If your home’s front door lock and deadbolt use different keys, we can rekey them to work with the same key. We can also rekey your back door and even your shed’s door lock to work with the same key.

There are many reasons why it’s a good idea to rekey your locks, but no matter what your reason, Be Secure will provide you with professional and affordable lock rekeying services.

Benefits of Rekeying Locks

Rekeying your locks vs. replacing them offers several advantages:

• Improved Security: Prevent access by anyone with the old key.
• Cost-Effective: Rekeying an existing lock is typically more affordable than installing a new one.
• Convenience: We can rekey multiple locks to work with the same key.
• Quick Solution: Rekeying locks is fast and requires fewer tools and materials.

Many homeowners and businesses choose to rekey locks when their security needs change.

How Does a Locksmith Rekey a Lock?

Step 4: The locksmith has inserted the new key into the lock cylinder and they’re inserting new pins that match the cut pattern of the new key.

Depending on the type of lock (doorknob lock vs. high-security lock vs. car door lock, etc…), the rekeying process can vary a bit. If you want to learn how different types of locks are rekeyed, there are plenty of videos on YouTube showing the entire process in detail so in the meantime, here’s a brief overview of how our locksmiths rekey locks for our residential, commercial, and automotive customers:

1. The internal lock cylinder is removed.
2. The pins are removed.
3. The new key is inserted into the lock.
4. New pins are inserted to match the cut pattern of the new key.
5. The lock cylinder is put back into the lock.
6. We test the lock to make sure it’s working smoothly.
7. We cut as many key duplicates as you want!

Master Key System Rekeying for Commercial Properties

Master key systems allow for select keys to open more than just one lock on your property. In other words, a single key will open each door rather than having a different key for every single lock. As a result, master key systems can provide a more secure way for business owners, homeowners, or landlords to gain access to part of their property while limiting the number of keys in circulation for their buildings.

When it comes to rekeying the locks on your property, the lock systems are usually the same brand. But as different owners cycle in and out of the ownership, there is a chance that new locks have only been installed on some of the doors. Be Secure Locksmith can install new locks on any that need to be changed and then perform re-keying services, which can help ensure that you can use your master key on all the locks on your property, whether you are a business owner, landlord, or homeowner.
