One key for every door
Most homes have a mix — a Kwikset on the front, a Schlage on the side. These brands use different key shapes, so they can't share one key as they are. We can usually solve that by rekeying what matches and swapping one cylinder. Tell us the brands on the phone and you'll hear the price.
What locks can't be rekeyed?
- Locks that are broken inside — they need replacing.
- Some very cheap locks with sealed cylinders.
- Smart locks — the keypad code changes in the app, but the backup key cylinder usually can be rekeyed.
- Kwikset SmartKey locks can be rekeyed with their own tool, as long as you have a working key. If yours can't be rekeyed, we tell you before we start.
When people in Sunrise rekey
- After buying a home → see New homeowners for the whole-house price.
- After a tenant moves out (landlords).
- After losing keys or a break-up.
- After a contractor, cleaner or caregiver had a key — common in the Sunrise Lakes condos along Sunrise Lakes Blvd.
- In Sunrise Golf Village, the 1960s heart of the city, where some front doors still carry locks from several owners ago.
Common questions
How long does it take?
About 10–15 minutes per lock once we're there.
Do I need to be home?
Someone 18+ who lives there or owns the property needs to be there to let us in and show ID.
Can I rekey my own locks?
Sometimes. A Kwikset SmartKey lock rekeys with its own tool if you have the working key, and hardware stores sell pin kits for some brands. Kits fit only one brand and keyway, and a pin left out of place can jam the cylinder. For a whole house — especially one with mixed brands, like many 1970s–80s Sunrise homes — a rekey visit is usually the faster route.
How many new keys do I get?
Two new keys come with every rekey. Need more — one for a cleaner, a teenager or the condo office? We cut them on the spot for $5 each.
