Turnover · Tenant Changes · Lost Keys
Every old key stops working. Every door goes onto keys you control. Done on site, usually in a single visit.
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing cylinders so a new key operates them and every previous key is dead. Nothing on the door changes — no new hardware, no new holes, no downtime. It's the fastest, cheapest way to take back control of who can walk into your business.
When a Business Should Rekey
Employee Turnover
A departed employee with a key is an open door. Rekey the day they leave, not the week after.
Tenant Changes
New suite or vacating tenant — rekeying resets the space without touching the landlord's hardware.
New Ownership
Buying a business means inheriting every key ever cut for it. Start ownership at zero known keys.
Lost or Stolen Keys
One missing key ring compromises every door it opened. Rekeying closes the question for good.
Keyed Alike: One Key for Everything
Most small businesses don't want a ring of twelve keys — they want the front door, back door, office and storage on one key. That's keying alike, and it's included in a rekey when your cylinders share a keyway. When different people need different access — staff keys that open some doors but not others — step up to a master key system instead.
Rekey vs. Replace
| Rekeying | Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Old keys stop working | Yes | Yes |
| Cost per door | Low | 3–6× more |
| Time per door | Minutes | 30–60 min |
| Fixes worn hardware | No | Yes |
| Upgrades security grade | No | Yes |
The Security Payoff
Rekeying is the cheapest security event you can schedule. It shrinks the pool of working keys to the ones you hand out on day one, restores the meaning of your key chart, and — paired with a restricted keyway — guarantees the pool can't quietly grow again at a hardware-store kiosk.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you rekey a whole office?
A typical suite of six to twelve doors is rekeyed in a single visit of one to two hours, including cutting new keys on site.
Can all my doors work on one key?
Yes — keying alike puts every lock on the same key. If you want one key for yourself but limited keys for staff, that's a master key system instead.
Does rekeying change how my locks look or feel?
No. Only the pins inside the cylinder change; the hardware stays exactly as it is. Old keys simply stop working.
