It takes years of experience to master all of the varied aspects of locksmithing, and since we're have been doing this for 30 years now, we certainly have seen a lot!  

Rekeying and masterkeying locks will create a new configuration within the lock cylinder allowing it to operate with a different key.  We can also set your existing key to different types of locks, like padlocks, so you only use one key to open multiple locks.  Feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail if you have questions.

Rekeying

Did you know most locks in your home or business can be rekeyed?  It's usually not necessary to replace the locks you have if you're concerned that a previous tenant or owner might have a key to your lock; we can simply disassemble the lock and set it to a new key configuration.  When the lock is put back on your door, you have the same lock but it uses a different, unique key.  This work can be performed at your location, or you can remove the lock and bring it to one of our stores.  It takes only minutes and costs little to have the peace of mind of knowing old keys that used to operate your locks now won't work!

The same applies for most automotive locks.  With a few exceptions, your ignition, door and trunk locks can be removed and rekeyed to a different, unique key.  Since this work does take a little time, it's best to schedule it in advance.  Our 66th Street store is equipped to handle most makes and models of automotive locks.  Call us and schedule a day when you can drop off your car in the morning; we can usually have it back to you by day's end.

Masterkeying

Most locks can be masterkeyed so one key, your grand master key, will operate all the locks, and separate keys, your change keys, can operate one or more locks in the masterkey system.  Masterkey systems can be simple or complex; it is often necessary for sets of locks to work on one change key, and not others, or sets of change keys to operate different locks within a system; masterkey systems can be single level or multi-level.  Whatever your needs are, we can custom design a masterkey system to fit your needs.  Our systems are computer generated, and we can maintain your masterkey system so future changes can be added when needed.

This work can be done on site or at our shop.   For more information, call us at 727-384-2022, or send your e-mail to gary@securitylockandsafe.com.
