Is it cheaper to rekey or replace a lock? In most cases, rekeying is the more economical choice. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing lock so that a new key operates it, while the old keys no longer work. This typically costs anywhere from $15-25 per lock, compared to $50-150 for complete lock replacement. However, if your locks are outdated or damaged, replacement may be the better long-term investment.

How does a locksmith make a key without the original? Our experienced technicians use specialized tools to decode the lock mechanism and cut a new key that matches the original configuration. This process works for most residential, commercial, and automotive locks. For vehicles, we can often program a new transponder key using the car's computer system, even without the original key present.

The average cost for key duplication in Frankfort ranges from $2-5 for basic keys to $150-300 for transponder or smart keys requiring programming. We provide upfront estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
