Home / Rekey Locks
Rekey Locks in Cornelius, OR
Rekeying changes the pins inside a lock so it works with a new key and the old keys stop opening it, all without taking the lock off the door. It is the quick way to control who gets into your Cornelius place.
If keys have gone missing or changed hands, rekeying puts you back in control without new hardware.
When to rekey instead of replace
If the locks work fine and you just need different keys, rekeying is the answer. It keeps your Cornelius hardware and finish. Replace a lock only when it is worn, damaged, or you want a higher grade or a keypad.
One key for the whole place
We can bring a Cornelius house or small shop down to one key instead of a ring, as long as the keyways match.
Rentals and small businesses
Landlords rekey between tenants and shops rekey after a lost key or a staff change. It is quicker and cheaper than new hardware on every door and gives you a set of keys you can account for.
Common questions
Rekey Locks in Cornelius
How long does rekeying take?
A Cornelius house of three to six locks is often done in under an hour once the locksmith is on site.
Is a rekeyed lock as secure as a new one?
Yes. A properly rekeyed lock is just as secure as before, now with keys only you hold. More security than that is a hardware upgrade.
Do my locks have to be the same brand?
To share one key, the keyways generally need to be compatible. We check on site in Cornelius and tell you what is possible.
