Precision Lock Rekeying Deployment in Townsend
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 Rekeying
Townsend's rapidly growing housing developments use builder-grade locks that should be rekeyed or upgraded when new homeowners move in for better security.
Rural Access Needs
Properties on larger lots and rural roads need locksmith service for outbuildings, gates, and storage structures in addition to main residences.
Growing Community Demand
As Townsend's population grows, so does the need for professional locksmith services — from emergency lockouts for new residents to commercial services for new businesses.

Why Our Lock Rekeying Standards Lead the Industry
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.
Solving Lock Rekeying Queries for Townsend
Can you install smart locks on standard residential doors? expand_more
Yes, we specialize in retrofitting standard doors with modern smart locks. We can help you choose a compatible system that integrates with your home automation while ensuring the physical installation is secure and professional.
How soon can you get to me? expand_more
Arrival times are subject to location, traffic conditions, and current dispatch volume. We prioritize emergency lockout requests and maintain a network of mobile technicians across the region to ensure a professional response. We provide an honest, professional arrival estimate during your initial consultation and maintain active communication as our technicians depart.
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.
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.
Does lock installation require drilling new holes? expand_more
It depends on your door. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.
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.
