Immediate Security Benefits and New Key Management
Once your locks are rekeyed, every old key that once operated those locks becomes instantly unusable. This is the primary and most significant benefit, providing immediate peace of mind. Our technician will provide you with a fresh set of new keys cut on site, typically two to three per rekeyed lock. You should collect and distribute these new keys, ensuring only authorized individuals have access to your Brooklyn Park home.
This process effectively resets your lock's security without the expense of purchasing and installing entirely new hardware. It is an ideal solution for new homeowners, landlords after a tenant moves out, or anyone who wants to ensure that past key holders no longer have access. We make sure all rekeyed cylinders operate smoothly with their new keys before completing the job.
The Precision Process of Rekeying Your Existing Hardware
Rekeying involves a meticulous process where the internal components, or pin stack, of your existing lock cylinder are changed. Our skilled technicians carefully remove the cylinder from your deadbolt, knob, or lever, then replace the old pins with a new combination of pins that correspond to a brand-new key bitting. This precision work ensures the lock functions perfectly with the new key while rejecting all old keys.
For homes with multiple entry points, such as front doors, back doors, and garage access, we can key them all alike. This means a single new key can operate every exterior lock on your Brooklyn Park property, simplifying your daily routine and eliminating the need for a bulky keychain. We also handle specialized rekeying needs like SmartKey cylinder resets or setting up master key systems for properties requiring tiered access.
Understanding Cost, Warranty, and Future Security Considerations
Q 24/7 Lock Service offers lock rekeying services starting at $99, in addition to our standard $49 service call fee. This transparent pricing is provided upfront before any work begins, ensuring you understand the investment in your security. As a licensed and insured service operating since 2009, we stand by the quality of our workmanship. If any issues arise with the rekeyed lock, contact us for prompt support.
Beyond the rekeying itself, consider your overall home security. Are there other locks that should be rekeyed? Do you need additional spare keys? Our technicians in Brooklyn Park can discuss these options. We aim to provide not just a service, but a complete solution that enhances your peace of mind and keeps your property secure for the long term.
