At Centurion Security Locksmith, we understand the importance of ensuring the safety and security of your home or business. Rekeying a house or apartment is a crucial security measure that should not be overlooked. Our professional locksmith services specialize in rekeying, providing both commercial and residential solutions in Hillsborough and Pasco County, FL.

Rekeying is the process of changing the internal pins and springs of a lock, rendering existing keys useless. Our professional locksmiths can rekey your locks, providing you with new keys and peace of mind. This service is particularly important when moving into a new home, after losing your keys, or when a staff member with key access departs.

Compared to replacing the entire locking system, rekeying is a highly cost-effective alternative. It allows you to maintain your existing hardware while significantly improving security — no new locks required.

What we offer

Our Rekeying Services capabilities

Enhanced Security

Rekeying ensures only those with the new keys can enter your property — essential after moving in, losing keys, or any situation where key control is uncertain.

Customized Access

Rekeying allows multiple keys that work for various locks within the property, giving families and businesses precise control over who has access to which doors.

Cost-Effective Solution

Rekeying preserves your existing hardware while eliminating access for old key holders. Significantly less expensive than a full lock replacement and equally effective.

Benefits of Rekeying Your Home or Business

Knowing that a home has been rekeyed is a strong deterrent to potential burglars. It sends a clear message that security is a priority, making your property a less appealing target. It also eliminates the uncertainty of who might have copies of your keys from previous owners, tenants, or contractors.

Rekeying provides peace of mind that no one else has access to your home without your knowledge. For rental properties and commercial spaces with staff turnover, it's the fastest way to restore key control without the expense of hardware replacement.

Rekeying can typically be completed quickly by a professional locksmith, minimizing disruption to your daily routine. All locks on a property can often be rekeyed in a single visit, giving you one key that works across every door.

Centurion Security Locksmith holds Florida locksmith license HCLOC18003 and is fully bonded and insured. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins.

FAQ

Common questions about Rekeying Services

Everything you need to know about our rekeying services in Tampa Bay.

What exactly is rekeying and how is it different from replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pin tumblers of your existing lock cylinder so the old key no longer operates it. You keep the same hardware on your door — only the pins change, and you receive new keys. A lock replacement swaps out the entire lock unit. Rekeying is faster and typically more affordable.
When should I rekey my locks?
Rekeying is recommended after buying a new home (prior owners may have key copies), after losing a key set, after a tenant moves out, after a break-up or roommate change, or any time an employee with key access leaves your business. It's the fastest way to restore full key control.
Can you rekey all my locks so they use a single key?
Yes. This is called a master key or keyed-alike setup. We rekey all your cylinders to accept the same key, which is very convenient for homes with multiple entry doors or businesses managing multiple spaces. We can do this in a single visit for most properties.
How long does rekeying a home take?
Most residential rekeying jobs take 30–60 minutes for a standard single-family home. Time varies by the number of locks, lock brand, and whether you want a master key system. We'll give you an accurate estimate when we assess your specific locks.
Is rekeying as secure as installing a new lock?
Yes, provided the existing lock is in good condition. Rekeying is as effective as a new lock when it comes to preventing unauthorized key entry. If the lock itself is worn, damaged, or a low-security grade, we'll advise on an upgrade — but for most standard residential and commercial locks, a rekey is fully sufficient.
