The rekey locks process
What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for rekey locks.
- Step 1
Call or book with us
Tell us how many doors you have and what brand of locks are on them. You get a straight answer on the phone, and we schedule same-day service whenever we can.
- Step 2
We come to you
A licensed technician arrives in a marked service van, stocked to rekey Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Weiser, and most residential hardware right at your door.
- Step 3
We rekey the locks
We pull the cylinders, change the internal pins so the old keys no longer work, and set every door to a single new key. Most homes take 30 to 60 minutes.
- Step 4
You get fresh keys and a working door
We test every lock, hand you the new keys, and confirm nothing binds. The old keys are now useless to anyone who had one.
