When People Rekey

If any of these sound like you, a rekey is almost always the right move — fast, affordable, and done at your door.

home

New Homeowner

You just closed on a home. The previous owners, their family, cleaners, contractors, and agents may all still have keys. Rekey every exterior door to one fresh key — it should be the first thing you do.

apartment

Landlord & Tenant Turnover

A tenant moved out. Instead of buying new locks every turnover, we rekey the existing ones so the old tenant's keys are dead and the new tenant gets fresh keys. Cheaper, faster, repeatable.

Lost or Stolen Keys

Lost your keys, or had them stolen along with something that shows your address? Rekeying instantly makes those keys useless — no need to replace the whole lock or worry about who has them.

Same-Day Rekey

Need it handled today? We're mobile with a stocked van and rekey on-site in most cases. Call or text and we'll give you a time window and an honest quote before we roll out.

What Rekeying Actually Is

Rekeying changes the little pins inside your existing lock so the old key no longer works and a brand-new key does. The lock stays right where it is — nothing gets torn out or replaced.

That's what makes it so useful: for a fraction of the cost of new hardware, everyone who ever had a copy of the old key is locked out, and you walk away with fresh keys. We can even key several locks alike so one key opens your front door, back door, and garage.

Rekeying FAQ

What does it mean to rekey a lock?add

Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so the old key no longer works and a brand-new key does. The lock stays on your door — nothing is replaced. It's the fast, affordable way to make sure anyone who had a copy of the old key can't get in anymore.

Should I rekey or replace my locks?add

Rekey when your locks are in good shape and you just need to cut off old keys — new home, tenant turnover, lost key. It's cheaper and faster. Replace when the hardware is worn, damaged, outdated, or you want an upgrade like a smart lock or higher-security cylinder. We'll tell you honestly which one you actually need before we start.

I just bought a home in Miami. Do I need to rekey?add

We strongly recommend it. You have no idea how many copies of the old keys are floating around — the previous owners, their relatives, cleaners, contractors, real estate agents, neighbors. Rekeying every exterior lock to one new key is usually the first thing new homeowners should do, and it's inexpensive.

Can you make all my locks use the same key?add

Yes. It's called keying alike. If your front door, back door, and garage entry are compatible, we rekey them all to a single key so you carry one key instead of three or four. Great for homeowners and landlords.

Do you offer same-day rekeying?add

In most cases, yes. We're a mobile service with a fully stocked van, so we rekey on-site at your home — no dropping locks off at a shop. Call or text (786) 566-5666 and we'll give you a time window and an honest quote before we head out.

How much does it cost to rekey a lock in Miami?add

Rekeying is priced per cylinder (per lock), plus a one-time $65 trip fee that covers bringing a fully-stocked van and a real locksmith to your door. The more locks you rekey in one visit, the better the per-lock value. You always hear the full total before any work starts. See our pricing page for details.
