Call UsLock Rekey in Jacksonville, Florida
Rekeying changes what your existing keys open without replacing the lock. It’s a security upgrade that’s cheaper and quicker than new hardware, about 30-60 minutes for a typical Jacksonville home, and we can set every door to operate on a single key. We are licensed and insured, serving Jacksonville and Duval County since 2014.
Our technicians rekey hundreds of lock cylinders every month across Jacksonville and Duval County, from single-family homes to apartment complexes and commercial offices. We work on most residential and commercial brands, including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Master Lock and Defiant.

How lock rekey works
Most jobs run start to finish in under an hour, and every lock gets a quick security inspection while it's open so we can flag any hardware that's worn or on its way out.

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock you already own; replacing swaps the whole unit for new hardware. Both stop old keys working, but rekeying is faster and cheaper whenever the existing hardware is in good condition.
How much does lock rekeying cost?
Starting at $25 per lock, plus a trip charge. The total is confirmed on the phone before a technician is dispatched, and it does not change on arrival.
How long does rekeying take?
10 to 15 minutes per cylinder, or 30 to 60 minutes for a typical Jacksonville house with three or four exterior doors.
I lost my keys somewhere. Is rekeying worth it, or am I being paranoid?
It depends what was on the ring. If anything pointed to your address, a store card, a parking tag, a labeled fob, a mail key, then rekey. If it was three unmarked keys dropped in a parking lot, the practical risk is low and you can reasonably wait. We would rather talk you out of a job you do not need.
Can all my doors be set to one key?
Yes, provided the cylinders are compatible brands and keyways. Keying alike across front, back and garage is one of our most requested jobs and adds very little time.
Who typically needs this service?
New homeowners, landlords between tenants, property managers and short-term rental hosts. The most common call we take is someone who closed on a house last week.
How do I book lock rekeying in Jacksonville?
