Re-Keying Services

Regain Control of Your Property Without Replacing Every Lock

Re-keying is a fast, cost-effective way to restore security—without the expense of replacing all your lock hardware. At Tampa Bay Lock & Key Inc, we’ve been providing expert re-keying services for homes, apartments, offices, and retail businesses since 1957.



Whether you’ve moved into a new home, experienced a security concern, or just want peace of mind, our licensed locksmiths are here to help. We service all of Tampa Bay, including Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties.

What Is Re-Keying and When Do You Need It?

Re-keying is the process of changing the internal pins and configuration of an existing lock so it works with a new key, rendering any old keys useless. It’s the ideal solution when:



  • You’ve just moved into a new home
  • A tenant, roommate, or employee has moved out
  • You’ve lost your keys or suspect unauthorized copies exist
  • You want all doors to work with a single key
  • You’re managing multiple rental units or properties


Re-keying maintains your existing hardware while giving you total control over who has access.

Residential Re-Keying Services

For homeowners, landlords, and apartment managers, we provide fast re-keying for:



  • Front and back doors
  • Garage entry locks
  • Interior and bedroom locks
  • Side gates and yard access
  • Mailbox locks


Our mobile team arrives with everything needed to complete most jobs on-site, often in a single visit.

Business & Commercial Re-Keying

Managing access for employees, tenants, or vendors? We re-key:



  • Office suites and storefronts
  • Warehouses and commercial facilities
  • Storage rooms and server closets
  • File cabinets and desk drawers
  • Employee entrances and interior access points


We also work with property managers and HOAs to coordinate large-scale re-keying projects across multiple units.

Master Key Systems & Re-Keying

If your business needs tiered access for staff or contractors, we can set up or adjust your master key system through re-keying. This allows:



  • Managers to have full access
  • Employees to access only assigned areas
  • Easy revocation of access by re-keying affected cylinders


Master re-keying improves security while simplifying key control—especially for growing businesses and facilities with multiple doors.

Re-Keying vs. Replacing Locks – What’s Best?

Re-keying is usually faster and more budget-friendly than full lock replacement. It’s ideal when:

  • The current lock hardware is in good condition
  • You want to save money
  • You need a quick turnaround


Lock replacement may be better when:

  • The hardware is worn, damaged, or outdated
  • You want to upgrade to high-security or smart locks
  • You’re switching to electronic or keyless entry systems


Our team will assess your needs and help you choose the right option
