There's a certain peace that comes from knowing you control every key to your home or business. When that control slips - after a move, a breakup, a lost key, or a staff change - rekeying brings it back without breaking the bank. At Wilbert Auto Locksmith, we make it simple. Our rekey locks service across Austin gives you brand new keys without replacing the entire lock hardware. It's fast, affordable, and one of the smartest ways to refresh your security with zero hassle.
Most people don't realize they don't have to change every lock when they move into a new place. Rekeying keeps your existing locks and changes the pin setup inside so the old keys stop working. We adjust the lock's internal code, hand you fresh keys, and test every door before we leave. You save time, money, and keep the aesthetic of your doors intact. Whether it's a house rekey after buying a new home or a master key system for a small office, the goal is the same - control who comes in and who stays out.
Our Austin customers call us for rekey services in all kinds of situations. Maybe you've just moved into a new home and don't know how many old keys are still floating around. Maybe a roommate moved out, an employee left, or a contractor didn't return their copy. Sometimes it's just time to simplify - one key for all the doors instead of five different ones. Whatever the reason, rekeying locks brings order back to your life. We handle single locks, full-house rekey projects, or entire apartment buildings with equal care.
One Austin homeowner called us after finding a spare key under her doormat - the problem was, she didn't put it there. We rekeyed the house that same day, switched her to a matching key set for all her doors, and installed a new deadbolt for peace of mind. Another favorite job was helping a property manager rekey twenty units between tenants. We created a master key system that gave her access to every apartment while keeping each tenant's key unique. It's that balance between convenience and security that makes rekeying such a smart option for anyone managing multiple locks.
Rekeying is a quick and clean process. Our locksmith removes the lock cylinder, replaces the pins, cuts new keys, and tests the fit. No drilling, no damage, no waiting days for hardware. Most jobs take less than an hour. We carry all the tools and pin sets on our mobile locksmith vans, so we can handle rekey jobs right on your doorstep. Whether it's a standard deadbolt, a smart lock cylinder, or a mailbox key setup, we can adjust it on-site and hand you new working keys before we drive away.
There are times when changing locks makes sense - like upgrading to high-security deadbolts or electronic locks. But most of the time, a rekey is all you need. If your locks are still in good shape, rekeying is faster, cleaner, and more affordable. You keep your existing handles and finish, avoid hardware costs, and still get full security. We often recommend rekeying first, then replacing only when wear or age becomes an issue. It's one of the easiest ways to keep Austin homes and businesses safe without spending extra.
We built our reputation one door at a time, earning trust from homeowners, property managers, and local businesses across Austin. People choose us because we explain everything before we start, show what we're doing, and never charge hidden fees. Our locksmiths are trained in all lock brands and rekey systems, from traditional Schlage and Kwikset cylinders to high-security and electronic models. We work fast, keep it tidy, and leave you with keys that work every time. No upselling, no pressure - just honest service from a team that cares about doing it right.
For Austin businesses, rekeying can save a fortune compared to replacing every door lock. We design and install master key systems so owners and managers can access everything with one key, while employees or tenants use keys limited to their areas. It's secure, simple, and easy to expand later. We can rekey entire offices, retail spaces, or multi-unit properties overnight so you open the next morning fully secure. Combine that with our commercial locksmith experience, and you get a one-stop solution for reliable, scalable security.
Rekeying isn't just a service to us - it's part of Austin life. We've helped families settling into new homes, landlords between tenants, and businesses growing faster than expected. Our customers stay with us because we treat their locks like they're our own. Clear pricing, quick service, and local locksmithswho actually show up when they say they will - that's Wilbert Auto Locksmith. If you need to rekey locks Austin-wide, call us. One visit, new keys, better peace of mind. Sometimes security really can be that simple.
