Lock Rekeying Services — Ocala & Central Florida

A standard home with three exterior doors — front door, back door, and garage entry — typically takes 30 to 45 minutes to rekey. Each lock cylinder is removed, the pins are reconfigured by a locksmith to match the new key, and the cylinder is reinstalled. If you have additional doors, a detached garage, or outbuildings you want included, add about 10 to 15 minutes per additional lock. We also cut new keys to match during the service call. Many customers request two or three copies of the new key while we're there — we can accommodate that with no extra trip charge.

Rekeying is almost always the right answer unless the hardware itself is damaged, extremely low quality, or you want to upgrade security. Rekeying costs a fraction of what replacing locks costs and provides the exact same security benefit: old keys become useless. Lock replacement is worth considering if your deadbolts are builder-grade (Grade 3) and you want to upgrade to Grade 1 security, if the hardware is worn or damaged, or if you want to add a smart lock. In many cases, we can advise a mix — rekey the good locks, replace the ones worth upgrading — to get the best result for your budget.
