The factors that decide the price, and why rekeying usually costs less than new hardware.
The price of rekeying house locks depends on a few clear factors rather than one flat number: how many locks you have, the type and brand of each lock, and whether you want them all keyed to a single key. Because rekeying reuses your existing hardware and only changes the internal pins, it usually costs less than buying and installing new locks.
A standard entry knob or deadbolt is straightforward. A high-security lock with a restricted keyway takes more work and the right blanks, so it sits higher. Keying several doors alike adds a little labor but means you carry one key. For an exact figure, it is best to call with your number of doors and lock types so we can give an honest quote.
If the locks are in good shape and you only need to control who has a key, rekeying is the value pick. If a lock is worn or you want an upgrade, new lock installation makes more sense. Our residential team will tell you which fits your doors.
While we are there, a spare through key duplication is easy to add, and larger properties sometimes move to a master key system. We serve Raleigh and nearby Apex and Cary; contact us for a quote.

If you only take one thing from this, take this: handling a lock problem on purpose, before it becomes a crisis, is almost always cheaper and calmer than handling it in a panic at the worst possible moment. A little planning, a spare key, a rekey after a move, goes a long way.
