Advanced Lock Rekeying Technology for Middletown Residents
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.
You've Handed Out Too Many Copies
Over the years, you gave keys to family, friends, pet sitters, house sitters, Airbnb guests... Now you've lost track. Rekeying gives you a fresh count: you have all the keys.
Contractor or Service Worker Had Access
You gave the renovation crew a key for two months. Are you 100% certain no one made a copy? Rekeying after major work is smart peace of mind.
New Construction Security
Middletown's rapid growth means many new homes with builder-grade locks that should be upgraded. New homeowners also need to ensure previous workers don't have access.
Commuter-Friendly Service
Many Middletown residents commute to Wilmington, Philadelphia, or Delaware offices. We offer convenient scheduling and can work around commuter schedules.
New Construction Rekeying

How We Master Lock Rekeying in Middletown
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.
"Brand new construction needed all the locks installed. Builder used cheap contractor locks. Kwikey replaced them all with quality Schlage and keyed everything alike. House is finally ready and secure!"
"Daycare center needed panic bars on two fire exits to meet state licensing requirements. Kwikey handled the entire project — recommended child-safe models, installed them cleanly, and provided documentation for our licensing file. Excellent service from start to finish."
"Deadbolt wouldn't latch — the bolt was extending but missing the strike plate. Turned out the door had shifted slightly. Kwikey realigned the strike plate and adjusted the bolt throw. Lock works perfectly now. Quick fix that saved us from a costly door replacement."
Common Lock Rekeying Questions in Middletown
Should I rekey or replace my locks? expand_more
Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks? expand_more
These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.
I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more
Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.
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.
How can I secure my sliding glass door? expand_more
Sliding doors are vulnerable points. We recommend a security bar in the track, anti-lift pins in the frame, and a sliding door lock that engages at multiple points. We install all of these and can assess your specific door.
