Lock Rekey Service in St. Louis, MO

Lock rekeying is one of the most cost-effective ways to restore security to your home or business without replacing all your lock hardware. When you rekey a lock, a locksmith changes the internal pin configuration inside the cylinder so that old keys no longer work, and only newly cut keys will operate the lock. The exterior hardware, including the deadbolt, knob, and lever, stays exactly the same.

Rekeying is the recommended solution when you move into a new home or apartment, after a roommate or tenant moves out, following a break-up or divorce, if you have lost a set of keys, or any time you are unsure who might have copies of your keys. It provides the same security benefit as a full lock replacement at a fraction of the cost, since the locksmith only needs to reconfigure the internal pins rather than install entirely new hardware.

Nonstop Lock & Key performs lock rekeying on-site at your St. Louis area home or business. Our locksmiths can rekey most standard residential locks in 10 to 15 minutes per lock, and we can key all your exterior doors to a single key for maximum convenience. We work with all major lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Medeco, and Mul-T-Lock, as well as commercial-grade cylinders and restricted keyway systems.

During the rekeying process, our technician inspects the condition of each lock and can identify any worn or damaged components that may need attention. If a lock is in poor condition and rekeying would not provide reliable security, we will recommend replacement and provide an honest quote.
