Based on our years of experience serving Mesquite and Dallas and Kaufman Counties, here are the most common situations we handle:
1. Just moved into new house, want to rekey all locks
The Problem: This is especially common in Mesquite due to the area's residential homes and local conditions.
Our Solution: Most common rekeying request! We rekey all exterior and interior locks (front, back, garage, side doors) so old owner's keys no longer work. We can key all locks alike so you only need one key, or key front/back differently for additional security. Typically complete in 1-2 hours. Much cheaper than replacing all locks and your existing hardware stays in place.
Mesquite Specific Context: With Mesquite's population of 150,108, we handle these calls regularly.
2. Lost keys and worried someone might use them
The Problem: This is especially common in Mesquite due to the area's retail centers and local conditions.
Our Solution: Immediate rekeying eliminates the security risk. Your lost keys become useless metal within hours of calling us. We can rekey your home while you wait, provide new keys, and you have peace of mind. Emergency rekeying available 24/7 if you need it done immediately. Cost is $40-$75 per lock vs $100-$200 per lock for replacement.

3. Ending relationship, need to change locks but don't want to buy all new hardware
The Problem: This is especially common in Mesquite due to the area's industrial and local conditions.
Our Solution: Rekeying is perfect for this situation—former partner's keys stop working immediately but your locks, handles, and hardware remain unchanged. Can usually complete same-day or within hours of calling. If there's any concern about safety, we can prioritize as emergency service. Discrete, professional service.

Do you serve all Mesquite ZIP codes?

Are you familiar with Mesquite building codes?
Absolutely. We regularly work throughout Dallas and Kaufman Counties and stay current on all local codes and requirements. Our technicians understand the specific needs of residential homes, retail centers, industrial, entertainment facilities common in Mesquite.
What's the difference between rekeying and changing locks?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys don't work, but keeps your existing locks and hardware. It's like changing the "password" for your lock. Changing locks means removing the entire lockset and installing a completely new one. Rekeying costs $40-$75 per lock vs $100-$200+ for replacement. Rekey when locks are in good condition. Replace if locks are damaged, you want different style/finish, or you're upgrading security levels.
Can you rekey locks from different brands to use the same key?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Locks from the same manufacturer (all Schlage or all Kwikset) can almost always be rekeyed to match. Different brands usually can't share keys because the keyway shapes are different—Schlage keys won't fit Kwikset locks. Exception: Some brands (Kwikset SmartKey, Weiser SmartKey) can adapt to different keyways. Best solution: rekey all locks to match your most common brand, or consider replacing mismatched locks for total convenience.
How long does it take to rekey the locks in my house?
Each lock takes 15-30 minutes to rekey depending on type. Typical 3-bedroom house has 5-8 locks (front, back, garage, side doors, plus any interior doors you want keyed). Total time: 1.5-3 hours including travel. We can often complete standard homes in 1-2 hours. Larger homes or commercial properties take longer. We schedule appointments to fit your availability and can usually offer same-day service.
Will rekeying damage my locks or doors?
No, professional rekeying doesn't damage locks or doors. We carefully remove cylinders (the lock core), change internal pins, and reinstall. The exterior hardware stays in place and looks exactly the same. Your locks will function just as well or better after rekeying (we clean and lubricate during the process). The only change is which keys operate the locks. We've rekeyed thousands of locks without issues.
