What a Rekey Costs in Phoenix
We charge a $75 service call (it varies a little with distance; we ask where you are and quote it on the phone) plus $25 to $40 per lock, depending on the lock. Most standard knobs, levers and deadbolts are $25; high-security cylinders and some older or unusual locks are $40. A front door with a deadbolt and a keyed knob is two standard locks, so that is $50 plus the service call. Commercial hardware, interchangeable-core (IC) locks, high-security cylinders and locks we have to rekey without a working key are quoted separately once we know what is on the door. Call with your door count and the lock brand and we will quote it on the phone.
See every price we charge on our locksmith prices page. The price you get on the phone is the price you pay, and the person who quotes you is the person who shows up.

Just bought a house?
Congratulations on the new house. The seller, their agent, contractors and neighbors may all still have keys, so rekeying every exterior lock on day one is the quickest way to know exactly who can get in. It usually takes under an hour for a typical house, and we come to you. Our new home lock checklist walks through what to do first, and rekey or replace explains when new locks are worth it.
Call or text (602) 301-5243 and tell us how many doors there are.
Lock Changing At A Low Price
Need a new key to work your lock? We can disassemble your lock, rekey it, and re-install it.
Many customers ask us to change the locks on their house. Most are not even aware that there is an option for rekeying locks. We will determine if rekeying is an option or if, in fact, the locks need to be replaced. A popular alternative to lock replacement is rekeying house locks because it is cost-effective and efficient. When the locks are rekeyed, they will work with a new key while old keys will become useless. This is perfect for situations such as moving into a new house.
How To Rekey Your Locks
One of our skilled locksmiths will rekey your locks by removing the pins and springs in the lock cylinder. The old pins and springs will be replaced with new pins and springs that will work with the new key. Rekeying allows our locksmith to examine the lock and correct any issues such as lubricating the lock. This makes the lock work much more smoothly and prevents future wear and tear.
Interesting Reasons To Rekey Locks
These are the pins that go inside your locks. By changing these out, we can ensure your old key no longer works.
The primary reason for rekeying locks is to make the old locks work with new keys. Some of the most common reasons why our customers request rekeying of locks are as follows:

There are other reasons why rekeying locks makes sense, but the previously mentioned reasons are very common. If you want to rekey locks, then you should contact Desert Locksmith.
