Rekey existing cylinders to a new key - cheaper than replacing, ideal after a move.
Lock rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing cylinder so old keys no longer work. The cylinder itself stays - only the bitting changes. Cost is dramatically lower than replacement: $22 - $40 per cylinder vs $185 - $325 for a fresh deadbolt install.
The single most common reason Delray Beach homeowners call us is post-closing rekey. You just bought the house and you have no idea how many spare keys are floating - prior owner, realtor, cleaning crew, contractor, inspector, neighbor. Rekeying every exterior cylinder for $135 - $245 total gives you exclusive control.
We can rekey to a new key (new bitting) or to your existing key from another door (so one key opens everything). The decision depends on whether you want unified-key convenience or want separate keys per door for staff / family access patterns. We explain the tradeoffs on the call.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.
