Oren was so fast and very reliable at the moment. Mind you it was freezing cold and he came right away and fixed the lock on our front door. Thank you Oren!

About this service
Rekeying is the fastest and most affordable way to make old keys stop working without replacing your locks. Alpha Locks and Safe provides residential rekeying service across Westchester County — changing the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinders so that new keys are required for entry while the hardware itself stays in place.
Homeowners typically need rekeying after moving into a new home, ending a relationship, firing a housekeeper or contractor, losing a key, or simply wanting to reset access after years of distributing copies. Rekeying is usually half the cost of replacing locks and takes just 15–20 minutes per door. We can also key all your exterior doors alike during the process, so you carry a single key for the whole house.
Our technicians rekey all major residential lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and Medeco. The process involves disassembling the cylinder, replacing the pin tumblers, and cutting new keys on-site. Every rekeyed lock is tested immediately to confirm smooth operation. If we find that a lock is worn or damaged during the process, we recommend repair or replacement before reassembling it. Pricing is quoted upfront per lock.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does rekeying a lock mean?
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your lock so that old keys no longer work and new keys are issued. The lock hardware stays the same — only the key combination changes.
Is rekeying cheaper than changing the lock?
Yes. Rekeying costs less because we keep your existing lock and only replace the internal pins. It's ideal when your locks are in good condition but you need new keys.
Can you rekey all my locks to use one key?
Absolutely. We can rekey every lock in your home to work with a single key, so you don't need to carry a separate key for each door.
How long does rekeying take?
Each lock takes about 10–15 minutes to rekey. A whole house is usually completed in under an hour.
How much does residential rekeying cost?
Residential rekey service starts at $179. The total depends on the number of locks. We provide an upfront quote before beginning work.

Alpha Locks replaced all the locks in my new home. They were punctual, professional, and their prices were very reasonable. Will definitely use them again!
Called after a break-in and they came out the same night. Replaced the damaged lock, reinforced the door frame, and made us feel safe again. Can't thank them enough.
