Is It Cheaper to Rekey or Replace Locks?

This question comes up frequently, and the answer depends on your specific situation. Understanding the difference helps you make a cost-effective decision.

Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work. This option is typically more affordable and makes sense when your locks are in good condition but you need new keys - such as after moving into a new home or ending a relationship with someone who had a key.

Replacing locks becomes the better choice when your current hardware is outdated, damaged, or doesn't meet your security needs. If you want to upgrade to high-security locks, smart locks, or a different style, replacement is necessary.

Cost comparison: Rekeying usually costs between $15-25 per lock, while replacement can range from $50-200+ depending on the lock quality. Our technicians provide honest assessments and never push unnecessary replacements when rekeying will serve you equally well.

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do if I can't afford a locksmith?
We understand budget concerns and offer several affordable options. Ask about basic service packages, payment plans, or whether rekeying rather than replacing locks might meet your needs at lower cost. We also recommend comparing quotes - our transparent pricing often beats competitors while maintaining quality.
Can a locksmith make a new key from a lock?
Yes, our skilled technicians can create a new key by reading the lock's internal pin configuration. This process, called 'impressioning' or 'decoding,' allows us to cut a working key even without an original. For vehicles, we can also use VIN information to generate replacement keys.
What locks can locksmiths not open?
While professional locksmiths can open most standard locks, certain high-security locks designed to resist manipulation may require specialized techniques or manufacturer assistance. Safes with specific anti-tamper features and some electronic locks may also present challenges, though we can typically find solutions for most situations.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?
Rekeying is generally more affordable, costing $15-25 per lock compared to $50-200+ for replacement. Choose rekeying when your locks work well but you need new keys. Opt for replacement when upgrading security, changing lock styles, or replacing damaged hardware.
What's the average pay for a locksmith?
Locksmith wages in Texas vary based on experience and specialization. Entry-level technicians typically earn $15-20 hourly, while experienced professionals can earn $25-40+ per hour. Specialized automotive or safe technicians often command higher pay due to advanced training requirements.
How long does it take for a locksmith to arrive?
Our mobile units typically reach most San Antonio locations within 20-30 minutes. Response times may vary based on traffic, weather, and current call volume, but we prioritize emergency situations and communicate expected arrival times when you call.
What is San Antonio, Texas famous for?
San Antonio is renowned for the historic Alamo, the beautiful River Walk, and its rich blend of Texan and Mexican cultures. As one of the largest cities in Texas, it offers world-class dining, vibrant festivals like Fiesta, and serves as a major military hub. We're proud to serve this historic community.
Is San Antonio a good place to live?
Absolutely! San Antonio offers affordable cost of living compared to other major Texas cities, warm weather, excellent food, strong job markets in healthcare and military sectors, and a welcoming community atmosphere.
