Often yes, when the lock hardware is still in good shape. Rekeying changes the pins inside so old keys stop working while you keep the existing lock. Replacing costs more when you need new hardware. Call or text (307) 206-4218 for a quote on your doors — we do not list prices on this page.
Rekey & lock change
Rekeying and lock changes in Riverton, Lander and Fremont County
Rekeying means we change the pins inside your lock so the old keys stop working and new keys do. We do that on site at your home or business anywhere we serve in Fremont County — no shop visit required.
Quick comparison
Rekey or replace?
We will tell you which makes sense once we see your hardware. Here is the short version.
Rekey
Choose this when the lock still works fine and you just need old keys dead — after a move-in, a lost key, or someone moving out. You keep the same lock body; we change the pins and cut new keys.
Replace
Choose this when the hardware is worn, damaged, or you want an upgrade — a stronger deadbolt, a smart lock, or a keypad. We remove the old lock and install the new one on site.
Common reasons
When to rekey
- You just bought or rented a home and do not know who still has keys
- A key is lost or stolen
- A roommate, employee, or contractor moved on
- Tenant turnover between rentals
- You want one key for every door on the property
One key ring
One key for every door (keyed alike)
We can rekey the front, back, garage entry, and deadbolts so they all open with the same key. That is keyed alike — fewer keys on your ring and simpler for family or staff. For gates, sheds, trailers, and job boxes on the same idea, see our padlocks page.
Rentals & managers
Landlords and property managers
Rekey between tenants so previous keys stop working before the next move-in. For multi-door buildings, offices, and master key systems, see our commercial locksmith page.
