Rekeying is the first thing we'd tell any Keller new-construction buyer to do. Before you got the keys, that house was open to framers, electricians, plumbers, painters, inspectors, the cleaning crew and the realtor — often on a builder master key. None of those people are a threat, but the number of copies in circulation is genuinely unknown. A rekey costs a fraction of new hardware and retires all of them in one visit.

Keller's Saratoga and Marshall Ridge builds cycle through builder master keys before owners ever move in. We cover all of it under Texas DPS license #B28617101, across Tarrant County, from 10AM to midnight — seven days a week, holidays included.

Residential Lock Rekey in Keller

What the job covers

Deadbolt and knob sets

Both halves of a standard entry door, so you're not left with a deadbolt on the new key and a knob on the old one.

Restricted key options

Where you want keys that can't be copied at a hardware store, we can quote a restricted keyway system instead.

Keyed alike

One key for the whole house where hardware allows. Most homes can be brought onto a single key without replacing anything.

Fresh keys cut on site

As many working copies as you need, cut and tested before we leave.

Padlocks and secondary locks

Compatible padlocks, gate locks and shed locks brought onto the same key where possible.

How it works

From your call to a new key

  1. 1

    Count the doors

    Tell us how many locks and roughly what brand. That's most of the quote right there.

  2. 2

    Cylinders come out

    The tech removes each cylinder and re-pins it to a new key combination on site. Your hardware stays on the door.

  3. 3

    Everything keyed alike

    Compatible locks are set to one key. If some hardware can't join — different brand or keyway — we tell you before we start rather than after.

  4. 4

    New keys, old keys dead

    You get fresh keys, we confirm each door with the door closed, and every previously issued key is now useless.

Common calls

Why Keller calls us for this

Relationship or roommate change

Someone who had a key no longer should. No explanation needed, and we don't ask for one.

Keys lost or stolen

If the keyring had anything identifying your address on it, this moves from optional to urgent.

Closing-day rekey

We schedule these around closings regularly. Same day if the timing works.

Contractor or service access

You handed out a key during a renovation and it never came back.

Builder master key retirement

Trades in Keller subdivisions often work off a builder key during construction. Rekeying at closing ends that.

How many keys are actually out there?

It's a question almost nobody can answer about their own house. A typical Keller home has passed through previous owners, a realtor's lockbox, contractors during any renovation, house sitters, dog walkers, family members, and at least one neighbour who was handed a spare during a vacation and never gave it back.

None of those people are likely to do anything with a key. The problem is that you can't verify that, and you can't un-issue a key you don't know exists. Rekeying is the only action that resolves the entire history at once, which is why it costs so much less than the peace of mind it buys.

  • Rekeying invalidates every key ever cut to the old combination, known or not
  • It takes under an hour for most homes and leaves your hardware in place
  • Cheaper than replacing the same locks, with an identical security outcome
  • Worth repeating whenever your circumstances change, not just at move-in

FAQ

Home Rekey questions in Keller

How often should I rekey?
Whenever the answer to 'who has a key' changes and you can't fully account for it — moving in, a lost keyring, a tenant change, a contractor who kept a spare. There's no schedule; there are just events.
I just bought a house in Keller. Do I really need to rekey?
We'd say yes. Between previous owners, realtors, contractors and anyone who was ever handed a spare, there's no way to know how many working keys exist. It's an inexpensive way to close that question permanently, and it's the single most common job we do.
Can you set up a master key system for my home?
Yes. A master key system lets one key open everything while other keys open only specific doors — useful for larger Keller properties, guest quarters, home offices, or households with staff. We plan the hierarchy with you before cutting anything.
Can you rekey locks from different brands to one key?
Only if they share a compatible keyway. Mixed-brand doors sometimes can't be keyed alike, and in that case we'll tell you before starting and give you the option of swapping one cylinder so everything matches.
Will my old keys still work afterward?
No, and that's the entire point. Once we re-pin the cylinder, every key cut to the old combination stops working immediately — including any copies you don't know about.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekey if your hardware is in good condition — it costs less and achieves the same security outcome. Replace if the locks are worn, damaged, low grade, or you want a feature they don't have. We'll tell you which situation you're in honestly.
