Lock Rekeying Service in Las Vegas
Keep Your Locks, Change Who Has the Keys
Rekeying changes the pins inside a lock cylinder so it works with a new key and the old keys stop working. The handles, deadbolts and finish you already have stay on the door. For most homes and businesses in Las Vegas, it’s the fastest and most affordable way to take back control of who can get in.
YH Lock & Security rekeys residential and commercial locks on site. We can key every exterior door to a single key, so one key opens the front door, the back door and the garage entry.
You just bought or rented a home and don’t know how many copies of the old key exist. A roommate, tenant or employee moved out. Keys were lost or stolen. A contractor or cleaner had a key and no longer needs it. You want one key for every door instead of a ring full of them.
If the lock itself is worn, damaged or you want an upgrade, a lock change makes more sense. We’ll tell you honestly which one fits.
Rekeying works on most standard residential and commercial cylinders, including Kwikset, Schlage, Yale and many commercial brands. Kwikset SmartKey locks can often be rekeyed with a tool, and we can key them to match your other doors. High-security cylinders such as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock are rekeyed with their own restricted key blanks.
Rekey or Replace
Rekeying vs. Replacing a Lock
Rekeying keeps your hardware and changes only the key. Replacing swaps the whole lock. If the locks work well and you like how they look, rekeying gives you the same security result for less.

Rekeying for Landlords and Businesses
Between tenants, rekeying is the standard way to secure a unit. For offices, it’s how you deal with keys that leave with staff. If you manage many doors, a master key system adds control over who opens what, and a corporate account keeps the work documented per property.

A typical home has a front door deadbolt and knob, a back or side door, and a garage entry door. Rekeying all of them to one new key is one of the most common jobs we do for new homeowners in Las Vegas, and it’s done in a single visit. Ask for extra keys for family members while we’re there.
Landlords often keep a record of the key code for each unit. We can rekey to a new code each time and give you a simple list of which key fits which unit.
