New Locks. Same Hardware. Lower Cost.
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys no longer work—faster and cheaper than replacing the lock entirely. Surrey homes from Guildford to Whalley serviced same-day.
Rekeying means our locksmith disassembles your existing lock cylinder and replaces the internal pins with a new set. The result: your old keys are permanently useless and you receive a fresh set that works with the exact same hardware already installed on your Surrey home.
Because the lock body, deadbolt, and door hardware all stay in place, rekeying costs significantly less than a full lock replacement. It is the industry-recommended solution any time you need to control who has access—without spending money on new hardware.
We rekey deadbolts, knob locks, and lever handles from Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, and Weiser—the four most common brands found in Surrey homes from Cloverdale bungalows to Whalley condos.
We dispatch same-day across all Surrey neighbourhoods. Most arrivals are within 20–40 minutes of your call.
The cylinder is removed from the door without any cutting, drilling, or damage to the lock body or door frame.
A fresh set of driver and key pins is inserted to match a new key code. Old keys will no longer turn the cylinder.
We cut your new keys on the spot, reinstall the cylinder, and test every key before we leave. Job complete in one visit.
You can never know how many copies of the original keys are floating around—previous owners, estate agents, contractors, neighbours. Rekeying on move-in day is the single most cost-effective security upgrade you can make. We service new homes across Guildford, South Surrey, Cloverdale, and Newton regularly.
A lost key is a security risk until the lock is rekeyed. Whether your keys went missing at Surrey Centre, at the Oval, or somewhere along the Guildford dike trail, rekeying your home locks is the only way to guarantee someone can't use them to get inside.
When a roommate leaves or a tenancy ends at your Surrey condo or house, you need their key to stop working—regardless of whether they return it. Rekeying is faster and cheaper than demanding keys back and hoping for compliance.
After a separation or change in living situation, former partners or family members may still hold copies of your keys. Rekeying your Surrey home immediately restores your privacy and peace of mind.
Renovations, rental property turnovers, or cleaning services often mean handing out keys. Once the work is done, rekeying ensures those keys are permanently retired without the cost of replacing the lock hardware.
Multiple locks, multiple keys—it doesn't have to be that way. We rekey all the locks in your Surrey home to work from a single key. Front door, back door, side entrance, and garage entry all opening with one key makes daily life noticeably simpler.
For most Surrey homeowners, rekeying is the smarter choice. Here's how the two options compare.
