Lock Rekeying in Edmonton
What is lock rekeying?
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work. You get a brand new set of working keys, while keeping your existing hardware. It's typically much less expensive than replacing a lock entirely — and just as effective from a security standpoint.
Moving into a new home? Lost a key? Not sure who has copies of your keys? Lock rekeying is the fastest, most affordable way to restore your security and get complete peace of mind — without replacing your locks.
Ace Locksmith Services provides professional lock rekeying for residential and commercial properties throughout Edmonton and the surrounding area.
When should you rekey your locks?
Moving into a new home or rental — you never know how many copies of the previous keys exist
After a breakup, roommate change, or employee termination
Lost or stolen keys
After a break-in or attempted break-in
To put all your locks on a single master key — great for landlords and property managers
Rekeying vs. replacing: which is right for you?
Rekeying is the right choice when your locks are in good condition and you simply need to change who has access. Lock replacement makes more sense when your locks are worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security option. Not sure which way to go? Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation — we'll never upsell you on a replacement when a rekey will do the job.
Rekeying for property managers & landlords
Turnover is where rekeying shows its value. Every time a unit changes hands, the old keys are unaccounted for — and replacing hardware on every suite gets expensive fast when you're doing it several times a year.
Rekeying is a fraction of that cost and gives the same result: the previous tenant's key stops working. We can do a full building in a single visit, and if your suites are on a master key system, we’ll rekey the change key (individual unit – for example, the tenant moving out) without disturbing the master, so your staff and contractor access stays exactly as it was.
You'll get documentation of what was rekeyed and when, which matters when a deposit dispute or an insurance question comes up months later.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does rekeying take?
A single lock typically takes 15–20 minutes. Multiple locks can often be completed in one visit.

For residential properties, yes. For commercial properties and multi-unit buildings, we can coordinate access with your tenants or building staff.
Is rekeying as secure as replacing the lock?
Yes — rekeying changes the key combination just as effectively as installing a new lock, as long as the existing lock is in good condition.
