Licensed and insured

Your price comes first
Approve the written price on a tablet before work begins.
When the keys need to change
A working lock does not tell you how many keys are still out there. These are the changes that call for a new set of keys.
An employee leaves
Take former staff keys out of circulation while keeping the existing hardware on doors that remain in good condition.
A business key goes missing
A lost key cannot be recovered. Rekeying makes it stop working, and new keys go to the people who still need access.
A new tenant takes the space
Give incoming tenants their own keys rather than leaving the space on the previous tenant's key set.
The business changes hands
A change of ownership is a practical time to establish who can open each entrance and interior room.
Office access is reassigned
When rooms change occupants or departments, update the affected cylinders instead of changing every lock in the building.
Storage keys need a reset
Cabinet, desk and filing locks can need new keys even when the building entrances stay unchanged.
New keys, existing hardware
Rekeying changes the internal pins to work with a different key. The lock stays in place when its condition and design allow it.
Cylinder inspection
We check each lock to determine whether its existing cylinder can be rekeyed or needs replacement.
New key combinations
We change the cylinder's internal pin arrangement so the previous keys no longer operate it.
Keys issued to your contact
Finished keys are counted and handed to the person the business has authorized to receive them.
Every affected lock tested
We check the new keys, the locking action and the door latch before handing the work back to the manager.
How we price a commercial rekey
Rekeying is $22 per cylinder, with a separate $39 service call fee. The technician inspects the locks and presents the full written price for approval before work starts.
Number of cylinders
We count the cylinders requiring new keys, not simply the number of doors. A single door can have more than one cylinder.
Lock type and grade
The existing hardware determines the work involved. Storefront locks and office cylinders may need different handling.
Condition of the hardware
Worn or damaged locks may need repair or replacement rather than new pins alone. Any additional work is priced before approval.
Key system changes
Moving to a master key arrangement or restricted keys involves different hardware and planning from a straightforward rekey.
Appointment hours
The $45 after-hours fee applies from 9 PM to 7 AM, on Sundays and on major holidays. It is listed separately.
From the first call to the last key
We establish who can authorize the changes, inspect the affected hardware and account for the new keys before the job is complete.
Tell us which locks
The dispatcher asks for the address, lock types, number of doors and reason for rekeying, then quotes the service call fee and a price range.
Confirm business authority
Our locksmith arrives with photo ID and a work card, then verifies the business contact and the letter or email authorizing lock changes.
Inspect and approve
We examine the cylinders and explain any hardware concerns. The complete written price is presented for approval before work begins.
Rekey, test and account
We rekey suitable locks, test each new key with the manager and provide an itemized invoice listing the service call, labor and each part.
Questions before changing business keys
Owners and managers often ask whether to rekey or replace, how after-hours scheduling works and who can authorize the work.
Call (702) 000-0000All questionsDo I need to replace the locks when an employee leaves?
Not if the existing cylinders are suitable for rekeying and the locks remain in good condition. Rekeying changes which keys operate the locks, but it does not improve the strength of worn or low-grade hardware.
Can you change our locks after the business closes?
Yes. Commercial work can be scheduled after hours when the business needs it. A $45 after-hours fee is added between 9 PM and 7 AM, and also on Sundays and major holidays.
What authorization do you need from our company?
An owner, manager or authorized business contact must approve the change. We require a letter or email from the business authorizing the lock work.
Can office and storage locks be rekeyed together?
We work on commercial entrance locks and interior cabinet, desk and file locks. Whether locks can share a key depends on their keyways and hardware compatibility, which we check during inspection.
Can rekeying be part of a master key system?
Yes, where the cylinders and keyways support the planned arrangement. We can review which doors need individual keys and which should also open with a management key.
