Lock Rekeying in Lakeland

Professional lock rekeying for Lakeland homes & businesses

Rekeying keeps your existing lock hardware and changes the internal pin stacks so the lock accepts a new key. You get fresh keys without paying for new locks, and every old key stops working.

We check each lock first to confirm it can be rekeyed. Most residential deadbolts and knob sets can, and we can match several locks to one key so you carry fewer keys. We test every lock with the new keys before we leave.

Lakeland Key Service provides lock rekeying throughout Lakeland, FL and nearby Polk County, with the price quoted before any work starts. As your Lakeland locksmith, we check the lock first and fix the cause, not just the symptom. Questions first? Read our FAQs.

What Lakeland customers say

locked my keys in the car at the publix on south florida ave. called these guys, guy was there in like 15 min. popped it open in 2 minutes. charged what he said on the phone. lifesaver

Danny AlbrittonCar Lockout · Lakeland, FL

Changed all the locks after my divorce. Lady on the phone was patient with me, I had a lot of questions. Technician came out, rekeyed 4 locks, showed me how the new keys work. Felt safe in my own house again. Thank you.

Cheryl BuntingLock Rekeying · Lakeland, FL

car key fob stopped working, dealership wanted $300+ to replace. these guys cut and programmed a new one for way less. works perfect. didnt know locksmiths did that honestly

Jasmine OkaforCar Keys & Fobs · Lakeland, FL

rekeyed the whole house after we bought it. previous owners had who knows how many keys floating around. tech was on time, polite, cleaned up after himself. price was what they quoted. no upsell nonsense

Travis McLendonLock Rekeying · Lakeland, FL

safe wouldn't open, combo was right but the mechanism was stuck. they came out, got it open without damaging anything, and fixed the lock. honest guys, didnt try to sell me a new safe

Earl DukesSafe Services · Lakeland, FL

Key broke off in my ignition. They got it out and cut me a new key. Took a little longer than expected because he had to run back for a tool, but he knocked a few bucks off without me even asking. Good guy.

Raymond CottleCar Keys & Fobs · Lakeland, FL

So here's my story. Got locked out of my house on a Sunday morning, no spare key, nobody home. Called around, most places wanted crazy weekend rates. These guys were reasonable. Took about 40 min to get here which felt long when you're sitting on your own porch but whatever. He picked the lock, no damage, done. Only 4 stars because of the wait but the guy was cool and the price was fair.

Marisol VegaHouse Lockout · Lakeland, FL

Fixed my deadbolt, works fine now. Good work, fair price. Would call again.

Walt PembertonLock Repair · Lakeland, FL

Locked out at 11pm with a sleeping baby in the car. I was panicking. Called these guys, they picked up, calmed me down, and had someone here in 12 minutes. He got the door open and didn't even charge me the full emergency rate. I'll never forget that. Thank you.

Rebecca StroudCar Lockout · Lakeland, FL

Had them install a new deadbolt on the front door. Good work, looks clean. They didn't have the finish I wanted in the truck so I had to wait a few days for them to come back but honestly no big deal. Would use again.

Gloria HinsonLock Installation · Lakeland, FL

my teenager lost her house key for the third time 🙄 called these guys to make copies. fast, cheap, and the guy joked with my daughter about keeping track of it. she hasn't lost it since lol

Nikki FontenotKey Duplication · Lakeland, FL

We've used them twice now — once for a lockout and once to rekey after a roommate moved out. Both times they were quick, fair, and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. The guy even tightened a loose handle while he was there. That's the kind of thing that makes you call them again.

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

Usually, yes. Rekeying keeps your current hardware and changes only the internal pins. If a lock is worn or damaged, we will tell you and quote a replacement instead.

How long does rekeying take?

Most homes take under an hour for a few locks. We confirm the time when you book.

Can you rekey every lock in my house to one key?

Yes. Keyed-alike setups let one key open the front door, back door and garage, and we can quote that for your locks.

Do I need to be home for a rekey?

You need to be there, or have an adult there, so we can access each lock and confirm the new keys work.

How much does rekeying cost in Lakeland?

The price depends on how many locks you have and whether any need repair. We give you the price before any work starts.

Should I rekey after a breakup or a roommate moves out?

Yes, if they still have keys. A rekey takes away their access without new hardware.

Do I need new keys for every lock after a rekey?

Yes, each rekeyed lock gets new keys. We can match several locks to one key so you carry less.

Can you rekey a lock on an apartment or rental?

Yes. Rekeying between tenants is common, and we can keep a key record for the property.
