Why New Yorkers Trust Our Lock Rekeying
Golden Key Locksmith NYC rekeys residential and commercial locks on-site so old keys stop working without replacing the hardware. We rekey for new homeowners and tenants, after a break-in or a lost key, and after staff turnover at an office or storefront. We can also rekey multiple cylinders to a single key or set up a tiered master key system. Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians arrive same-day with the pins on the truck. Call (212) 204-1655.
Lock Rekeying Services
Commercial Lock Rekeying
Just moved into a new office, had employee turnover, or had keys lost or stolen? Our commercial locksmith team rekeys your locks quickly and efficiently. Rekeying is one of the most practical steps after a staffing change — it instantly invalidates every outstanding copy of the old key without the cost of full hardware replacement. For tiered access across multiple doors from one grandmaster key, ask about our master key systems.
Residential Lock Rekeying
Moving into a new apartment or house is the most important time to control who has access to your home — you have no way of knowing how many copies of the previous tenant’s key exist. Our residential locksmith team rekeys your locks on move-in day for immediate peace of mind. When hardware is worn or damaged, we also offer a full lock change service, and if you’d rather go keyless, ask about keypad and key fob entry systems.
Keyed-Alike & Master Key Setups
We can rekey all of your locks so a single key opens every door — a keyed-alike setup — as long as the cylinders share a compatible keyway. For larger properties we configure tiered master key systems so managers hold a grandmaster while staff keys open only their assigned doors. One technician can usually rekey an entire apartment in under an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlock our most frequently asked questions about lock rekeying in NYC.
What is lock rekeying and how does it work?
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so old keys no longer work and a new key is required. The hardware stays in place — only the small pins inside are replaced. It is faster and cheaper than full lock replacement and provides the same security benefit of invalidating old keys. One locksmith can rekey an entire apartment in under an hour.
When should I rekey instead of replacing my locks?
Rekey when you move into a new apartment or home, after a breakup or roommate change, after losing a key, after a tenant moves out, or whenever you are unsure who has copies of your keys. Full replacement is better when the hardware is damaged, worn, or low-security, or when you want to upgrade to a smart or high-security lock. Our locksmiths assess and recommend on-site.
Can you rekey all my locks to the same key?
Yes — this is a keyed-alike setup and one of our most popular requests. We rekey all your locks so a single key opens every door, as long as the locks share a compatible keyway. If you have mixed brands, we can replace or supplement with matching hardware in the same visit.
Do you offer service after showroom hours?
Yes. Our showroom at 328 Columbus Ave is open Mon–Fri 8:30 AM–5:00 PM, and we offer mobile emergency locksmith service 24/7, 365 days a year.
