How it works
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the pins inside the existing lock so old keys stop working. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is usually cheaper if the hardware is in good shape.
How long does rekeying take?
Usually about 15 to 20 minutes per lock on site. We can do a whole house or building in one visit.
Can you rekey to match my existing keys?
Yes. We can key new locks to match keys you already use, or key all doors alike.
Do you serve Richmond?
Yes. Richmond is part of our service area. Call 604-734-7233 for the current arrival window.
How long does it take?
A typical house with a few locks takes under an hour.
Will the old keys still work afterwards?
No. Once the lock is rekeyed, the old keys will not turn it.
