Single-cylinder rekey
Remove the cylinder, re-pin to a new key cut, reassemble. The old keys no longer work.
Services · Las Vegas Valley
Rekey service re-pins existing lock cylinders to a fresh key, retaining your existing hardware. Cheaper than full lock replacement, and the only practical option after rental turnover, lost keys, contested-possession transitions, or any time you want to invalidate existing keys without changing the hardware. We rekey across the Vegas Valley — single homes, multi-tenant rental rotations, HOA-required resale rekeys (with certification letter), and bulk apartment-complex turnovers. Most single-home rekeys complete in under 30 minutes for $80–$220.
Every job follows a methodology hierarchy — non-destructive first, drilling or replacement only when needed. We default to preservation over destruction.
Remove the cylinder, re-pin to a new key cut, reassemble. The old keys no longer work.
For property managers — multiple units rekeyed in one visit with bulk pricing.
Re-pinned to a master+sub-master hierarchy. Used for multi-tenant properties.
Kwikset SmartKey cylinders rekey without disassembly using the SmartKey tool. Faster.
Owner-trained on every major brand. Tell us the make and model on the phone — manufacturer schematic lookup cuts on-site time by ~30%.
A rekey job starts with phone intake — how many cylinders, what brand. We dispatch from Spring Valley. On arrival the technician verifies ownership (deed, lease, HOA documents, or rental agreement). For single-home rekeys, we re-pin each cylinder to the same new key — typically 3–5 cylinders for a standard Vegas SFH (front door, back door, garage entry, sometimes patio). Each cylinder takes 10–20 minutes. Bulk rental turnovers (5+ units) get discounted per-cylinder pricing. Master-key system rekeys for multi-tenant or HOA properties require schematic planning before pinning. We provide 2–4 fresh keys at job completion; additional keys are cut at $5 each on-site.
Las Vegas locksmith pricing is too often "quoted on the phone, then changed on the truck." We give a flat-rate quote in writing before any work begins. Below is our standard pricing.

Factors that change time on-site:
Things we wish every Vegas customer knew. Following these saves time, money, and avoids damage.
After ANY lost-key event, rekey. Anyone who finds your keys still has access until you do.
For Vegas rental turnover, schedule bulk rekey BEFORE listing — saves new-tenant move-in delay.
Kwikset SmartKey cylinders rekey in 3 minutes without disassembly — fastest, cheapest option if you have them.
For HOA resale, the rekey certification letter goes in the closing package — request it at scheduling.
Master-key systems should be re-pinned every 5–7 years anyway — restricted-keyway keys "wear in" over time.
Rekey service requires ownership or authorized-possession verification: deed, lease, property management contract, HOA management designation, or court documentation. We do not rekey for unverified callers. For contested-possession situations (divorce, eviction), we require either single-party deed/title ownership documentation or court order.
