This is one of the most common questions we receive from Newport News homeowners, and the answer depends on several factors. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work, while replacement means installing entirely new lock hardware. Generally, rekeying is the more economical choice when your current locks are in good condition.

Rekey services typically cost significantly less than full lock replacement because we're working with your existing hardware. This option is ideal when you've moved into a new home, ended a relationship where someone had keys, lost your keys, or want to have all locks operate with a single key. The process is quick, usually taking just 15-20 minutes per lock.

However, lock replacement becomes the better choice when your locks are worn, damaged, or outdated. If you want to upgrade from basic locks to high-security deadbolts or smart lock technology, replacement is necessary. Our professionals will inspect your current locks and provide an honest assessment of whether rekey or replacement better serves your security needs and budget.
