Frequently Asked Questions — Lock Rekey
What is the difference between rekeying and
replacing a lock in Philadelphia?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work — the lock itself stays on your door. Replacing a lock means removing the entire hardware and installing a new one. Rekeying is faster, cheaper, and just as secure for most Philadelphia properties.
How long does it take to rekey a lock in
Philadelphia?
Most standard residential locks can be rekeyed in just a few minutes per lock. A full Philadelphia home rekey with 4-6 locks typically takes under an hour from arrival to completion.
Can all types of locks be rekeyed in
Philadelphia?
Most standard pin-tumbler locks can be rekeyed. However, some older or specialized locks, as well as certain smart locks, may not be rekeyable. Our Philadelphia locksmiths will evaluate your locks on-site and recommend the best solution.
Is rekeying secure enough for a Philadelphia
business?
Yes — for most businesses, rekeying provides the same security benefit as replacing locks, at a fraction of the cost. For Philadelphia businesses with high-security needs, we also offer high-security lock upgrades alongside rekeying services.
