Lock Rekeying

If you just moved into a new home, lost a key, or had a tenant move out, lock rekeying is the fastest, most affordable way to make sure no one else can unlock your doors. Locksmith Enforcement offers mobile rekeying services throughout Ocala, The Villages, Belleview, Lady Lake, Summerfield, and Wildwood, FL — usually completed in under an hour.

What Is Lock Rekeying?

Rekeying is the process of changing the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so that old keys no longer work — and a brand-new key does. Your locks stay; only the inner pins and key change. It’s typically a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire lockset and delivers the same level of access security.

Rekeying vs. Replacing a Lock

Choose rekeying when your locks are in good working condition but you want to invalidate old keys. Choose new lock installation when you need a security upgrade, smart-lock features, or your existing hardware is worn out. Not sure which is right? Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation on the spot.

When Should You Rekey Your Locks?

• You just bought or moved into a home — old keys could be anywhere.
• You lost a key or had one stolen.
• A roommate, contractor, ex-partner, or former employee had a copy.
• You’re a landlord turning over a rental unit.
• You want all your doors to open with one matching key (keyed-alike service).
• After a breakup, divorce, or major life change.

Our Lock Rekeying Process

1. On-Site Mobile Service

Our locksmith arrives at your home or business in a fully equipped van — there’s no need to remove or ship anything.

2. Lock Removal & Disassembly

We carefully remove the cylinder, disassemble it, and remove the existing pins.

3. New Pin Configuration

Using precision pinning kits, we install a fresh combination of pins matched to a brand-new key — making any previous key permanently useless.

4. Reassembly & Testing

The cylinder is reinstalled, lubricated, and tested through multiple cycles to ensure flawless operation.

5. Keyed-Alike Option

Want one key for your front, back, garage, and side doors? Ask us about keyed-alike rekeying — it’s a small upgrade that makes daily life much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?

Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work, while keeping the same hardware. Replacing installs an entirely new lockset. Rekeying is faster and significantly cheaper when your existing locks are in good condition.

How much does it cost to rekey a lock?

Rekeying typically costs a fraction of a full lock replacement, especially when multiple locks are done in one visit. We offer flat-rate per-cylinder pricing and discounts for multi-door homes and rental units.

Can all of my locks be rekeyed to use the same key?

Yes, as long as the locks share a compatible keyway. Most modern Kwikset, Schlage, and similar residential locks can be keyed alike. We will check compatibility during the visit and let you know.

How long does rekeying take?

A single lock can usually be rekeyed in 10 to 15 minutes, and most whole-home rekeys are finished in under an hour. We handle everything in our mobile van right at your property.

Should I rekey after buying a new house?

Absolutely. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the previous keys are out there. Rekeying immediately after closing is the fastest, cheapest way to make sure only you have access to your new home.
