Rekeying & lock changes
New place, old tenant, lost keys, or a contractor who never gave the set back.
Rekeying keeps the existing hardware and changes what the key turns — usually the cheaper and faster answer than replacing a lock that is working fine. On rowhouses we commonly key the vestibule and the apartment door alike so one key does both.
- Rekey after a move, sale, or tenant turnover
- Key-alike sets so one key runs the whole door line
- Deadbolt and knob replacement in matching finishes
- Restricted keyways where copies need to be controlled

Straight answers
Is rekeying cheaper than new locks?
Almost always — you keep the hardware and only the pinning changes. We tell you when a lock is worn enough that replacement is the honest answer.
Can one key open all my doors?
Yes — keying alike is standard on rowhouses, so the vestibule and apartment doors run on one key.
I just bought a place — rekey or replace?
Rekey everything on day one, including locks the seller lost keys to. Replace only what is mechanically failing.
