Lock Rekeying Services

Skilled Lock Rekeying Services in Memphis, TN

Rekeying a lock is a convenient, budget-friendly security upgrade that changes a lock without changing the lock hardware! If you’ve lost a key, moved into a new home or office, your car was broken into, or you want better control over who has access to your vehicle and property, rekeying is a secure and cost-effective option. At The Lock Doc, we provide mobile lock rekeying across Memphis, Germantown, Bartlett, Collierville, Cordova, Southaven, Olive Branch, and surrounding areas.

When we rekey a lock, we remove the internal cylinder, replace the pins inside to match the cuts in a new key, reassemble the lock, and test the new key. It’s quick and affordable, and it renders all other keys unusable.

When Should You Rekey a Lock?

When our locksmiths rekey a lock they replace the pins in the lock cylinder to match the cuts in a new key. Here, the locksmith is holding the cylinder with the new key inserted. The cylinder pins are color-coded according to length.

Here are some of the most common reasons Memphis-area customer calls us to rekey their locks:

• They’re moving into a new house or business location
• Their car keys were stolen
• They suffered a break-in and want to lock down access to their property
• Employee turnover or tenant move-outs
• They wish to rekey multiple locks to work with one key

If your locks are in good condition and from the same brand, rekeying is an excellent way to improve or restore security and convenience.

Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks

Rekeying is an excellent option because we change the internal lock mechanism to work with a new key while keeping your current lock hardware. We recommend the service because it’s:

• More cost-effective than replacing all the lock hardware
• Just as secure when done correctly
• Faster than replacing the entire lock

But be aware that not all locks can be rekeyed. We may need to install a new lock if:

• The lock is too severely damaged or worn from age or weather.
• You want to upgrade to a high-security lock with a different type of lock cylinder that won’t fit your existing lock hardware.
• You need locks from a different brand rekeyed to match a single key.

We inspect your door hardware and recommend the right solution based on the condition, lock type, and your goals.
