Rekeying locks ensures that only authorized individuals have access, eliminating the risk of unauthorized key duplication.

Re-keying a lock involves changing the internal mechanisms so a new key can operate it, making old keys ineffective. It's essential when moving into a new property, losing a key, or for enhanced security after a change in occupancy or personnel.
Our locksmiths in Memphis are skilled in quickly re-keying locks, typically completing the job within the same day of your request. The time can vary based on the number and type of locks but we always aim for efficiency.
Absolutely. Re-keying is a cost-effective and secure alternative to replacing locks. It ensures that only new keys can operate the lock, providing peace of mind with minimal disruption and expense.
Yes! You do not need the original key for us to rekey your locks. Our mobile locksmiths can pick or shim the cylinder to remove it, then reconfigure the pins so the old lost keys will never work again. This is a standard service we provide daily across Memphis and the Tri-State area.
Absolutely. This is called "keying alike." As long as your locks share the same keyway (like Schlage or Kwikset), we can reconfigure your front door, back door, and garage deadbolts to all work with a single key.
Yes. We specialize in Master Key systems for multi-unit properties and businesses. This allows you (the owner or manager) to have one key that opens every door, while your tenants or employees have keys that only open their specific office or apartment.
In most cases, yes. Popular smart locks from brands like Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale usually have a mechanical key override. We can rekey this cylinder just like a traditional deadbolt, ensuring your physical backup key is secure and matches your other doors.
Rekeying is significantly more affordable than replacing hardware. Instead of buying brand-new handle sets and deadbolts, you are simply paying for the labor to change the internal pins. It is the most cost-effective way to secure a new home. Call us at 901-496-5285 for a clear, upfront quote.
rarely. In 90% of cases, we can rekey your existing commercial hardware (including panic bars, mortise locks, and lever handles) at a fraction of the cost of replacement. This immediately renders the former employee's key useless while keeping your hardware intact. We recommend doing this immediately to secure your assets.
We understand that security maintenance shouldn't stop your cash flow. We offer flexible scheduling for commercial clients throughout Memphis and the Tri-State area. Whether you need us before opening or after closing, we can coordinate a time to secure your facility without interrupting your customers or staff.
Absolutely. If it locks, we key it. We are equipped to handle interchangeable cores (IC Cores), high-security restricted keyways (like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock), and standard commercial brands like Adams Rite and Von Duprin. We can re-pin these cylinders to restore your exclusive access control.
Yes. We can originate keys for almost anything—houses, commercial buildings, padlocks, filing cabinets and more—as long as you have the key code or the specific bitting cuts. Instead of duplicating a worn-out key, we use your code to cut a brand-new key to original factory specifications. Whether it's a Schlage deadbolt, a commercial storefront door, or a fleet vehicle, if you have the numbers, we can make the key.
If your locks are high-quality brands (like older Schlage or Baldwin) but just stiff, we can often clean, lubricate, and restore them during the rekeying process. Often times, rekeying fixes the issue. However, if the internal mechanism is worn out, we will be honest and recommend replacement. We carry stock on our trucks so we can replace it right then and there if rekeying isn't the safe option.
