Solving Your Lock Rekeying Challenges in Arden

You Just Moved In—Who Has Keys?

The sellers, their realtor, old roommates, contractors, cleaners, neighbors with 'emergency' copies—you have no idea how many keys exist. The only way to know you control access is to rekey.

Lost Keys = Lost Security

Those keys you lost last month? Someone might find them. If your address is on your keychain (or findable from your car registration), you have a problem. Rekeying makes lost keys worthless.

Someone Who Had Access Shouldn't Anymore

Roommate moved out, relationship ended, employee let go. Asking for keys back doesn't ensure they didn't make copies. Rekeying is the only way to be certain.

The Kwikey Protocol for Lock Rekeying

Schedule at Your Convenience

Book online or by phone. We offer professional appointments when available, or schedule at a time that works for you.

We Come to You—Or You Come to Our Shop

Mobile service to your location, or bring your locks to our Wilmington shop if you prefer. Either way works.

Inspect and Quote Before We Start

We examine each lock to confirm it's in good condition for rekeying, explain the process, and give you a transparent diagnostic quote.

Precision Rekeying

We reconfigure the internal pin pattern so the lock only responds to new keys. The old keys? Completely useless metal.

New Keys, Full Testing

You receive your new keys (as many copies as you need), and we test every lock to ensure smooth operation. If you want one key for all doors, we set that up too.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Lock Rekeying

How many keys do I get when you rekey my locks? expand_more

Standard rekeying includes 2 new keys per lock. Need more? We can cut additional copies on-site at a small per-key charge. If you have multiple locks, we can key them all alike so one key opens everything.

Do smart locks need WiFi to work? expand_more

Not necessarily. Many smart locks work with Bluetooth for proximity unlocking. WiFi is only needed for remote access when you're away from home. We can recommend the right option based on your needs and existing tech setup.

Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more

Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.

Is it worth repairing an old lock or should I replace it? expand_more

We'll assess your lock and give honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacing with a modern lock is the smarter investment. We don't push replacements if repair makes sense.

Do you install smart locks? expand_more

Yes! We install and program smart locks from leading brands like Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and more. We can help you choose the right smart lock for your needs.

What areas do you serve? expand_more

Our mobile service units provide professional coverage across New Castle County, Delaware, and the Greater Philadelphia region, including Chester and Delaware counties. Whether you are in Wilmington, Newark, West Chester, or Media, we bring our specialized equipment directly to your location.
