Lock Re-key

Ever Wondered Who Else Has a Copy of Your Keys?

Closing on a new property is a major milestone, but taking possession introduces an immediate, invisible security risk. When a real estate transaction concludes, you are handed a set of physical keys—yet there is no way to verify how many duplicates of those exact keys are currently circulating in the community. Over the years a property is listed, managed, and occupied, original keys are routinely distributed to past realtors, cleaning crews, building contractors, home inspectors, and past tenants.


Relying on the original hardware means leaving your assets exposed to anyone holding an unaccounted duplicate. Many new owners assume the only way to resolve this vulnerability is to buy completely new locksets for every exterior door. However, replacing functional lock bodies is a major financial drain, especially if the building features high-end architectural handlesets, solid brass deadbolts, or custom finishes that perfectly match the design theme.

Erase Your Property's Access History with Competition Locksmith’s Precision Lock Re-Keying

Competition Locksmith provides a highly efficient, cost-effective alternative to hardware replacement by focusing entirely on the internal mechanics of your existing locks rather than the exterior housings. Our mobile units arrive fully equipped to pull your existing cylinders, dismantle the plugs, and swap out the old internal pin configurations on the spot. Because your durable exterior brass lock housing stays permanently attached to your door, we only modify the unique sequence of the tiny internal pins hidden deep inside the core. By dropping a brand-new, unique layout of factory-spec pins into the cylinders and cutting fresh keys, we instantly render every single past copy completely useless—granting you total perimeter control while saving you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary hardware expenses.

Choose a trusted mobile locksmith for quick response and quality security solutions. Call/text us at (631) 942-4903 to schedule a service today!

Our Lock Re-keying Services

Instant Key Inheritance Reset

We methodically service every exterior entry point on your new home—including front entry doors, side garage entries, rear sliding glass doors, and basement exits—to ensure that old key tracking histories are permanently erased. Our process completely severs the property's access past within minutes, guaranteeing that your family is the only entity holding functional keys to your new living space.

Master Key Keychain Streamlining

New homeowners are frequently handed an unorganized collection of mismatched keys that require constant trial and error to open different doors. During our re-keying service, we can adjust the internal pin configurations so that all your exterior locks align perfectly with one single keyway layout. This optimization declutters your keychain, allowing a single physical key to smoothly operate your front deadbolt, side garage door, and back patio entry.

Architectural Hardware Cylinder Preservation

If your newly purchased property features custom mortise locks, designer thumb-press handlesets, or specific finish styling, completely replacing them can ruin your front door aesthetics and cost an absolute fortune. Our technical re-keying procedure alters the internal tumbler pins without touching or scratching the beautiful exterior trim, preserving your high-end curb appeal while updating your physical safety parameters.

Residential Gate & Outbuilding Re-keying

True residential security doesn't stop at the front door. We expand our re-keying services to cover secondary outdoor perimeters, including detached garage doors, secure tool sheds, pool gates, and freestanding storage units. Bringing these secondary entry points into your new unified key system ensures your entire estate is tightly locked down against unauthorized entry.

HEAR FROM SATISFIED CLIENTS

Lenny was very professional and knowledgeable about the locks we needed for our new home. In answering all of my questions he was able to give me an adequate sense of what was needed for the multiple door locations of our home. He kept me informed of all my possible options and provided his advice when requested. He even sent me pictures once completed (while I was at work and my mom was present during installation) to make sure I was satisfied. He was punctual and worked fairly quickly so the process was seamless! I feel extra safe knowing the job was done well and correctly. I would recommend this locksmith and Lenny in particular without reservation!! Thanks Lenny we appreciate you:)

The interaction with Competition was amazing, from text to app to the finished work was just wonderful. Shane was personable, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He came for what I thought was an estimate and he fixed both door and lock problems on 2 doors. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!

I recently had Shane install a new deadbolt keypad lock at my house, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He showed up on time, was super professional, and clearly knows his craft. The installation was quick, clean, and he even took the time to walk me through how to program and use the lock. The new keypad looks great and works perfectly. It’s refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. If you’re looking for a reliable locksmith, Shane is the guy to call—I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I called competition locksmith at 1:30 to see if they had everything to change a lock on my Andersen door. Lenard called me back immediately to let me know he did have the parts needed and he even provided same day availability. He was kind and efficient! Before 4pm my lock was changed, working, and I had keys. Highly recommend!!

The locking mechanism on our Andersen French-wood door broke. I called Competition Locksmith in the morning and Lenny arrived within a reasonable short period of time. Lenny quickly diagnosed the problem. He had the parts needed to repair/replace the locking actuator, and then aligned and adjusted the door snd three point locking device which made closing and locking the door much easier. Lenny was professional, a good listener and very knowledgeable about my specific doors locking and alignment mechanisms.

Was extremely pleased with the service and quality of work recently done by Lenny at CL. The job was completed two days after my initial contact with him, and he took the time to provide additional info on care and maintenance of the equipment after it was installed. I intend to recommend Lenny and his services to any and all friends and family looking for high quality locksmith services.

Lenny was awesome! I called around for a couple quotes to have our front door rekeyed not only did Lenny have the most fair and affordable prices he was by far the nicest!!! Every other place I called they couldn't be bothered and were just rude. Lenny had no problem with my mom being the one at the house while working on the door. My mom was very pleased with his service and how nice and personable he was. I will be using him again in the future and will recommend him to everyone I know.

Excellent service! I just called Lenny to fix a deadbolt lock installation, and he came very quickly and fixed it within minutes. Once he finished, he checked and found a few other problems with the locks on the door that he fixed as well. It is now working better than it ever did. I would definitely recommend him to others and will definitely be using him again in the near future. Thank you Lenny!
