Decide which doors should share a key

A useful rekey plan starts with the doors, not the number of copies. List the front, side and garage-entry locks you want included. If the property has a detached work space or another keyed building, decide whether it belongs on the same key. You might want family access throughout the house while keeping a separate work area on its own key.

Our lock rekeying service changes which key operates a compatible cylinder. It can be a good fit after a move, a missing key or a change in who uses the home. Locks with incompatible cylinders cannot always be combined without replacing something, so we check before promising one key for the whole property.

The condition of the lock matters too. If a key is hard to turn, the bolt catches or the handle has become loose, tell us about it. We can distinguish the access change from the repair. Keeping a solid lock makes sense; preserving a failing one just to avoid replacement does not always give you a dependable result.

Once the agreed work is complete, test the new keys in the included doors with them open and closed. Check any old keys that were supposed to stop working, as well as keys that were intentionally retained. That simple review makes the plan tangible: you know which key belongs to which door before putting the spares away.
