Rekeying a lock is one of the most common jobs in the locksmith trade. At Multi Locksmith, we perform lock re-key services daily. The service is exactly what it sounds like: changing the key while keeping the same lock, making it a much cheaper option than replacing the entire hardware. When Multi Locksmith gets a call to re-key a lock, whether it’s a simple lock or a complicated one, our technician will provide a brand-new key, which will be the only key able to operate the lock. The old key will become obsolete. The appearance of the lock, including its color, exterior look, interior, and back-set (bolt or latch), will remain unchanged. The only components that change inside the lock are the pin tumblers, which will be fitted to a brand-new key. The process involves removing the lock from the door, disassembling it, replacing the tumblers, and reassembling the lock. Multi Locksmith’s re-key service applies to almost all types of locks, including those on gates, garage doors, mailboxes, cars, ignitions, file cabinets, electronic locks, and more.

Most customers who call wanting to change a lock often just need to rekey a deadbolt lock and receive new keys, as the rest of the lock’s components are typically still functional.
For MUL-T-LOCK owners: your high-security locking hardware can also be rekeyed. When you call Multi Locksmith, please have your current keys and card code ready, as our dispatch team will need this information to set up your rekey service.
When a Multi Locksmith technician completes the job, they will provide you with a new set of Interactive or Interactive+ keys (depending on the keyway) and a new code card, which can be used for obtaining additional keys in the future. This service ensures you have the best mechanical locking solution available, giving you peace of mind.
There are many more complicated locks depending on the manufacturer’s design. Some locks are more user-friendly and can be rekeyed without removing or disassembling the lock.
