Lock Rekeying Service in Denver, Colorado
Keep compatible locks and change which keys can operate them.
Rekey Locks Service
Rekeying changes the pins or internal components of a compatible lock so the old key no longer works and a new key does. It can be a practical choice after a move, a lost key, employee turnover, or another situation where key control has changed.
Locked Out Locksmith provides mobile rekeying for Denver-area homes and businesses. A technician first checks the lock type and condition, because damaged, incompatible, or severely worn hardware may need repair or replacement instead.
This page explains when rekeying is useful, what it does not fix, and what to gather before requesting service.
Recommending when to have locks rekeyed
Rekeying is worth considering when a working key is lost or unaccounted for, after moving into a property, when tenants or employees change, or when too many copies are in circulation. It changes key access without necessarily replacing serviceable lock hardware.
Checking Whether the Lock Can Be Rekeyed
Rekeying keeps the existing lock body, so the first step is confirming that the cylinder is compatible and in good condition. If the lock is damaged, unreliable, or unsuitable for the door, repair or replacement may provide a better result.
When Repair or Replacement Is Better
Rekeying addresses key control; it does not repair a broken latch, correct a misaligned door, or upgrade weak hardware. Depending on the problem, home or business locks may need repair or replacement. Vehicle key and lock work should be assessed separately through an automotive locksmith.
Providing duplicate keys
After compatible locks are rekeyed, new keys can be cut and tested for smooth operation. The number of copies, keyway restrictions, and any master-key requirements should be agreed before work begins. Cutting time and on-site availability vary by key type and hardware.

Not every vehicle uses cylinders that can be rekeyed in the field, and modern systems may require key programming instead. The correct service and timing depend on the year, make, model, cylinder condition, key type, and parts availability. Provide vehicle details and proof of ownership so capability can be confirmed before dispatch.
Base the decision on key control, not personalities. Rekey affected doors when a key is not returned, may have been copied, or could still provide unauthorized access. Businesses with frequent turnover may benefit from a documented key policy, a master-key plan, or access control that allows individual credentials to be removed.
Report the incident and secure damaged openings first. Rekeying may be appropriate when a key is missing or compromised and the existing hardware remains sound. Replace locks that were forced, damaged, unreliable, or inadequate for the door. A site assessment can separate immediate repairs from optional upgrades.
A compatible keypad or smart lock can reduce everyday reliance on physical keys and let authorized codes or users be changed. It still needs proper installation, battery maintenance, account security, and a backup entry plan. The door preparation and lock type should be checked before choosing hardware.
