Changing who can enter your home or business does not always require replacing every lock. LRG Locksmith provides professional lock rekeying and lock replacement services throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties. We inspect the existing hardware, explain whether rekeying or replacement makes more sense, and help you choose an option that fits your security needs and budget.
Lock Rekeying and Replacement Services
Residential Lock Rekeying
Rekeying changes the internal configuration of a compatible lock so old keys no longer work. It is often a practical choice after moving into a home, losing a key, ending a rental, or when you are unsure who may have copies.
Commercial Lock Rekeying
Businesses may need to update access after employee turnover, tenant changes, lost keys, or changes in management. Compatible commercial locks can often be rekeyed without replacing all existing hardware.
Lock Replacement
Replacement may be the better option when a lock is damaged, worn, outdated, incompatible with the desired key system, or does not provide the level of security you need. We install common residential and commercial locking hardware and check that the door operates correctly.
Keyed-Alike Locks
When compatible locks use the same keyway, they may be rekeyed to work with a single key. This can reduce the number of keys needed for exterior doors, offices, storage areas, or other approved access points.
Master Key Systems
A master key plan can organize different access levels for owners, managers, employees, maintenance teams, and authorized vendors. The available structure depends on the hardware, number of doors, and access requirements.
High-Security Lock Upgrades
High-security locks may provide additional resistance to picking, drilling, forced entry, and unauthorized key duplication. We can explain compatible options and whether an upgrade is appropriate for the property.
Rekey or Replace: Which Is Better?
Rekeying is often cost-effective when the hardware is compatible, works correctly, and still meets your security needs. Replacement may be more appropriate when the lock is damaged, unreliable, poorly fitted, or when you want different features such as a keypad, smart lock, or high-security cylinder. We inspect the lock before recommending either option.
When Should You Change Access?
- After moving into a new home or commercial space
- When keys are lost, stolen, or unaccounted for
- Following employee, tenant, roommate, or contractor changes
- When a lock becomes difficult to operate or unreliable

Lock Rekeying FAQs
Will my old keys still work after rekeying?
No. A successful rekey changes the lock so the previous key no longer operates it. New keys are provided for the updated configuration.
Can every lock be rekeyed?
Not every lock is compatible or worth rekeying. The lock type, condition, keyway, and availability of suitable parts determine whether rekeying is practical.
Can several locks work with the same key?
Often, yes, when the locks have compatible keyways. We must inspect the hardware before confirming that the locks can be keyed alike.
Should I replace a lock that feels loose or difficult to turn?
It should be inspected. The problem may involve the cylinder, latch, door alignment, strike plate, or worn hardware. Repair, adjustment, rekeying, or replacement may be recommended depending on the cause.
