Professional Lock Rekeying in Atlanta
Lock rekeying is one of the smartest, most cost-effective ways to secure your home. Instead of replacing your entire lock hardware, rekeying changes the internal pins so that old keys no longer work — and you get a fresh set of keys that only you control.
J&M Locksmith provides professional lock rekeying service throughout metro Atlanta, handling everything from single deadbolts to whole-house rekeys. Our licensed technicians arrive at your door with all the tools and pins needed to rekey any brand — Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Yale, and more — typically in under 30 minutes per lock.
Whether you’ve just moved into a new home, lost a set of keys, ended a relationship, or had a roommate move out, rekeying gives you peace of mind knowing exactly who has access to your home. It’s faster, cheaper, and just as secure as replacing the locks entirely.
When Should You Rekey Your Locks?
There are several situations where rekeying is the right move. If you’ve just bought or moved into a new home, rekeying every exterior door is essential — you have no idea how many copies of the old keys are floating around. If you’ve lost your keys, had them stolen, or given copies to contractors, housekeepers, or ex-partners, rekeying eliminates any unauthorized access immediately.
Rekeying is also a great option when you want all your locks to use the same key. We can rekey every lock in your home to match a single key, eliminating the need to carry a different key for the front door, back door, and garage entry.
What to Expect During a Lock Rekey
When you call J&M Locksmith for a rekey, here’s exactly what happens. Our technician arrives at your home with a complete pin kit and professional tools. We remove the lock cylinder from the housing — without removing the entire lock from the door — swap the internal pins to match a new key pattern, and cut fresh keys on the spot.
The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes per lock, and we test every lock before we leave to make sure the new keys work perfectly and the old keys are completely disabled. For a whole-house rekey covering 4–6 locks, expect about an hour from start to finish. We clean up after ourselves, hand you your new keys, and you’re done — instant peace of mind with zero damage to your doors or hardware.
