Door Lock Rekey in Seattle — Jacobson Locksmith

Rekey Locks in Seattle: Door Lock Rekeying

Q: How much does it cost to rekey a house?

Rekeying starts at $25 per lock. A typical house has two to four exterior locks, and keying them all to one new key is done in a single visit. We confirm the total when you call, before we dispatch.

Q: What is the difference between rekeying and changing a lock?

Rekeying keeps your existing hardware and only changes the internal pins so a new key works. Changing a lock replaces the whole unit. Rekeying is cheaper and is the right choice when the lock is in good shape.

Q: How much does it cost to rekey a lock?

Rekeying starts at $25 per lock. Keying several locks alike or supplying extra keys is quoted up front when you call.

Q: Can all my doors be keyed to one key?

Usually, yes — as long as the locks share a keyway (for example all Kwikset or all Schlage). If they do not, we can swap a cylinder so they match.

Q: Should I rekey when I buy a house?

Absolutely. Previous owners, agents, contractors and neighbors may all hold copies. Rekeying on move-in day is the cheapest way to guarantee you control every key.

Q: Do you rekey smart locks?

Most smart locks still have a mechanical key cylinder that can be rekeyed, and we can also reset the electronic codes and app access at the same time.

Q: Can I get a lock rekey near me the same day?

Often, yes. Rekeying is done on site from our mobile van, so we can usually rekey your locks in a single visit anywhere in Seattle and nearby cities. Call to confirm availability and the price for your number of locks.
