Affordable & Secure Lock Rekeying Services
Need to change your locks without replacing the entire hardware?
Lock and Doc provides fast, affordable, and professional lock rekeying services throughout St. Louis and surrounding communities. Rekeying is one of the most cost-effective ways to restore control over who has access to your home or business.
Whether you’ve moved into a new property, lost your keys, or experienced a tenant change, our licensed and insured locksmiths are ready to help.
What Is Lock Rekeying?
Lock rekeying is the process of changing the internal pins inside your existing lock so that old keys no longer work. Instead of replacing the entire lock, we adjust the mechanism and provide you with new keys.
This allows you to:
- Keep your current lock hardware
- Invalidate old or lost keys
- Save money compared to full lock replacement
- Improve security quickly
- Rekeying is ideal for both residential and commercial properties.
When Should You Rekey Your Locks?
There are many situations where rekeying is the smartest choice:
You Moved Into a New Home
You never know who may still have a copy of the previous keys. Rekeying ensures you are the only one with access.
Lost or Stolen Keys
If your keys are missing, rekeying prevents unauthorized entry without replacing all your locks.
Tenant or Employee Changes
Landlords and business owners often rekey after tenant turnover or employee changes.
Security Concerns
If you suspect someone may have unauthorized access, rekeying restores your peace of mind.
