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. I provide residential rekeying across Westchester County, changing the internal pin configuration of your existing cylinders so new keys are required while the hardware itself stays in place.
Homeowners usually rekey after moving in, ending a relationship, letting go of a housekeeper or contractor, losing a key, or simply wanting to reset access after years of handing out copies. Rekeying is usually about half the cost of replacing locks and takes just 15 to 20 minutes per door. I can also key all your exterior doors alike, so you carry one key for the whole house.
I rekey all the major residential brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and Medeco. The process means disassembling the cylinder, replacing the pin tumblers, and cutting new keys on-site, and I test every rekeyed lock to confirm smooth operation. If I find a lock that is worn or damaged, I will recommend repair or replacement before reassembling it. Pricing is quoted up front per lock.
What I include
- Rekeying existing cylinders
- New keys cut on-site
- Keying the whole house alike
- Function test of every lock
Why people in Westchester call me
- I keep your existing hardware and just change the pins, so it is roughly half the cost of new locks and done in minutes per door.
- You get me, Oren, the owner. I answer the phone myself and I do the work myself, no call centers and no subcontractors.
- I give you a clear, flat-rate quote before I start, so the price I say is the price you pay.
- I am a licensed (NY #2108832-DCA), insured and bonded locksmith, and I back every job with a 5-year warranty.
- I live and work in Westchester County, so I know the area and I get to you fast.
Frequently asked questions
What does rekeying a lock mean?
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your lock so old keys no longer work and new keys are issued. The hardware stays the same, only the key combination changes.
Is rekeying cheaper than changing the lock?
Yes. Rekeying costs less because I keep your existing lock and only replace the internal pins. It is ideal when your locks are in good condition but you need new keys.
Can you rekey all my locks to use one key?
Absolutely. I can rekey every lock in your home to work with a single key, so you do not carry a separate key for each door.
How long does rekeying take?
Each lock takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and a whole house is usually done in under an hour.
How much does residential rekeying cost?
I give you an upfront, flat-rate quote before I begin, based on the number of locks. For typical pricing on this service, see my pricing page.
