Lock Rekeying in San Diego

Rekeying changes the pins inside your lock so the old keys stop working and a new key takes over. Same hardware on the door, new keys in your hand. Key One Locksmith rekeys locks at homes, rentals and businesses across San Diego County.

It is usually the fastest way to take back control of who can get in, because nothing has to be removed from the door.

When to Rekey

• You just moved into a new house or rental
• A key was lost or stolen
• A roommate, tenant or employee moved out
• You want one key for the front door, back door and garage entry
• You need extra copies cut on the same visit

Rekey or Replace?

Rekey when the keys are the problem. Replace when the lock is the problem: the bolt sticks, the cylinder spins, or it is a light lock on an outside door. If you need new hardware, see lock installation and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can every lock be rekeyed?

Most standard home and business locks can. Some smart locks and very worn locks are better replaced. We tell you which on the spot.

Can my front and back doors use the same key?

Usually yes, when the locks share the same keyway. We check when we arrive.

Do you rekey business locks?

Yes. For buildings with many doors, see master key systems.
