Rekey Locks in Minneapolis

New home? Lost a key? Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work — without replacing the lock hardware.

When Should You Rekey?

After moving into a new home, after a break-in, when a roommate moves out, or anytime you've lost track of who has copies of your key. Rekeying is faster and cheaper than full lock replacement.

How Rekeying Works

We disassemble the lock cylinder, swap the internal pins to match a new key, and provide you with fresh copies. The existing lock hardware stays in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?

Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key is required, but keeps the same lock hardware. Replacement installs an entirely new lock. Rekeying is cheaper when the lock is in good condition.

How much does it cost to rekey locks?

Rekeying typically costs $15–$30 per lock cylinder, plus a service call fee. We provide exact pricing before starting.
