Rekey Service in Plano, TX

When to Rekey Your Home in Plano

Rekey immediately after closing on a new Plano home or condo — you don't know how many copies of the keys the previous owner distributed to contractors, housekeepers, dog walkers, or prior tenants. Rekey after a roommate moves out, a divorce, a termination, or any event where someone who had a key should no longer have access. Rekey after losing a key at a restaurant, the gym, or a public event — once a key is out in the wild, your locks are no longer secure. Rekey after a break-in or attempted break-in, even if nothing appeared stolen.

Rekey vs. Lock Replacement — Which Is Right?

Rekey is the right choice when your existing locks are in good mechanical and aesthetic condition — this describes ~95% of locks in newer Plano homes. Rekey is 70 to 90 percent cheaper than lock replacement. Replacement is the right choice when locks are visibly worn, damaged, out of brand-consistency (mismatched finishes), or when you want to upgrade to smart locks, high-security cylinders (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock), or keypad entry. We quote both options transparently so you can decide based on budget and goals — not sales pressure.

What's Included in a Plano Rekey

On-site lock inspection at your Plano address, cylinder removal and disassembly, replacement of all pin tumblers to a new key code, spring and pin stack verification, lubrication and function testing, reassembly and reinstallation, 2 to 3 matching new keys cut for every rekeyed lock (additional keys $3 to $5 each), and a full test of every door with the new key and deadbolt before the technician leaves. We also re-key mailboxes, storage sheds, and gate locks on request — keyed alike if compatible.

Lock Brands We Rekey

Schlage (B60, B60N, B62, Encode, Connect), Kwikset (SmartKey, 980, 985, Halo, Obsidian), Baldwin (Prestige, Reserve), Weiser, Emtek, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Arrow, Sargent, Yale, and most commercial-grade cylinders. Older and proprietary systems — we ask for the brand and key profile when you call so we can confirm pin stock before dispatch. If a cylinder is beyond rekey (worn tumblers, stripped set screws, broken internals), we tell you upfront and quote replacement.

Rekey Pricing in Plano

Service call and first cylinder: $65. Each additional cylinder at the same address: $19. Two new keys per cylinder included. "Keyed alike" service (one key operates every lock) at no extra charge. Commercial high-security cylinders priced per job. Most 4-door Plano homes pay $142 total — significantly less than buying and installing 4 new deadbolts, which typically runs $400 to $800+ with hardware and labor.
