When Should You Change Your Locks?

A lock change is one of the smartest security investments you can make as a Midtown Manhattan resident. Unlike rekeying — which only alters the internal pins — changing the lock replaces the entire cylinder or lock set with brand-new hardware. This gives you complete confidence that your home is protected by a lock that has never been used, picked, or compromised.

The most common reason our customers call for a lock change is moving into a new apartment. Even if management provides keys, you can never know how many copies exist or who has them. Changing the locks before you move your belongings in is the smartest security decision you can make — and we can complete it in under an hour.

Top Reasons Midtown Residents Change Their Locks

Moving In

Change locks before unpacking. Previous tenants, landlords, or workers may still have copies.

Lost or Stolen Keys

Anyone who found your keys could have your address too. Change your locks immediately.

Roommate Moved Out

Protect your home and privacy when a roommate or partner no longer lives with you.

Worn or Damaged Lock

Old, stiff, or visibly worn locks are easier to bypass. Upgrade before there is a problem.

Security Upgrade

Switch from a basic lock to a high-security Medeco or Mul-T-Lock for maximum protection.

After a Break-In

Replace compromised or damaged locks immediately and reinforce the door frame.

Rekey or Full Lock Change?

Both restore your security — here is how to choose the right option.

🔑 Rekeying
  • Fastest and most affordable option
  • Existing lock hardware stays in place
  • All previous keys become useless
  • Best when the lock is in good condition
  • Ideal for move-in and lost key situations
  • About 20 minutes per lock
🔒 Full Lock Change
  • Entire lock replaced with new hardware
  • Choose any brand or security grade
  • Eliminates any wear or past vulnerability
  • Recommended when lock is old or damaged
  • Ideal for upgrades or after a break-in
  • About 30 to 45 minutes per lock

Frequently Asked Questions

If your lock is in good condition and you simply want to invalidate old keys, rekeying is faster and cheaper. If the lock is old, damaged, or you want to upgrade to a higher security grade or smart lock, a full change is the better investment. Our technicians give you an honest recommendation and prices for both options on arrival — with no pressure.
A standard deadbolt change takes 30 to 45 minutes per lock. Changing multiple locks on the same door, or upgrading to a high-security cylinder, is done in a single visit. We carry most common lock sizes and door preps on our vans so there is rarely any delay.
Yes — we offer a keying-alike service. We can change all the locks in your apartment and configure them to operate on one single key. This is very popular for apartments with a front door deadbolt, a secondary knob lock, and a mailbox lock. One key, complete access.
The price depends on the lock brand, model, and number of doors. We provide a clear upfront quote on arrival before any work begins — no hidden fees, no surprise charges. Call for a free phone estimate and we will confirm the exact price after assessing your door.
