About this hub
Westchester is more than a service area for us it's home. Over more than a decade of locksmith work across the county, we've built relationships with the agents who hand new homeowners their keys, the contractors who rebuild storm-damaged doors, the property managers who keep buildings safe at 2 AM, and dozens of other local pros. This page is how we point our customers to those people and how we keep useful Westchester-specific information in one place.

Rekeying is recommended any time you take possession of a home or rental you have no way of knowing who else has copies of the existing keys (former owners, agents, contractors, cleaners). Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder so old keys no longer work, without replacing the entire lock. For older or worn hardware, a full lock change is often the better option. We can advise on the right call when we see the hardware.
