Lancaster, PA • Since 1938
Professional Lock Rekeying in Lancaster, PA
Old keys don’t expire on their own. Previous owners, former tenants, ex-employees, and past contractors may still have copies, and you’d never know. Lock rekeying changes your locks’ internal pins so those old keys stop working. No new hardware needed. No guesswork about who has access.
Wizard Lock & Safe Co. has been doing this for homeowners and businesses across Lancaster County since 1938. Our marked service trucks cover Lancaster City, Lititz, Ephrata, Millersville, and the surrounding area. When you call, a real local technician shows up, not a subcontractor from a call center.
Rekeying vs. Replacing: Which Do You Need?
A lot of people assume that securing a lock means buying a new one to get a new key. That’s not always the case. Understanding the difference can save you time and money.
For most life-change situations (moving, tenant turnover, lost keys), rekeying is the faster, more affordable choice. If you’re not sure which option fits your situation, our team can walk you through it before any work begins.
Our Lock Rekeying Services
Whether you’re securing a home, managing a business, or responding to a security concern, we provide professional lock rekeying throughout Lancaster County during business hours.
Residential Lock Rekeying
You can’t know how many copies of your home’s keys are out there. Previous owners, contractors, and real estate agents may have had access. We rekey deadbolts, entry locks, and interior locks. We can key them all to one key for convenience.
Commercial & Business Security Rekeying
Employee turnover leaves your locks exposed. We help Lancaster County businesses quickly rekey office, storage, and facility locks after staff changes. We also design master key systems that give the right people access — and no one else.
Post-Incident Rekey Services
If keys were stolen, a break-in occurred, or access has been compromised, rekeying restores your security without replacing your hardware. We respond to urgent situations during business hours and arrive in marked Wizard Lock & Safe Co. trucks.
What Can You Expect From Our Rekeying Process?
Rekeying is a precise, technical process — but it doesn’t have to feel complicated. Here’s what happens when you call Wizard Lock & Safe Co.:
- You call us. We discuss your situation, confirm your location within our Lancaster County service area, and schedule a time that works for you.
- A technician arrives in a marked Wizard truck. All of our service vehicles are clearly labeled. You’ll always know it’s us before you open the door.
- We assess your locks. Our technician inspects your existing hardware to confirm it can be rekeyed and notes any issues worth addressing.
- The lock pins are reconfigured. The internal pin stack is replaced to match a new key pattern. Old keys are rendered useless.
- New keys are cut and tested. You receive working keys that have been confirmed to operate correctly before we leave.
The entire process is clean, efficient, and completed on-site. Most residential rekeying jobs are finished in a single visit.
What Can You Expect From Our Rekeying Process?
There’s no shortage of locksmiths advertising in Lancaster County. Some are legitimate. Many are not.
Scam locksmith operations are a documented problem across the country, and Lancaster is not immune. They often advertise low prices, send unmarked vehicles, and charge far more once they’re at your door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about lock rekeying in Lancaster County? Here are straightforward answers to what homeowners and business owners ask most.
How much does a locksmith charge to rekey locks in Lancaster, PA?
Rekeying costs depend on the number of locks, the type of hardware, and whether you need new keys cut. Because pricing varies by job, we encourage you to call for a straightforward estimate before scheduling. We don’t believe in hidden fees, and we’re happy to explain costs upfront.
Can any lock be rekeyed, or do I have to buy a new one?
Most standard residential and commercial locks can be rekeyed. Locks that are damaged, worn, or incompatible with standard pin systems may need to be replaced. Our technicians can assess your hardware on-site and give you an honest recommendation.
Can you rekey all the doors in my house to use the same key?
Yes. Keying multiple locks to a single key, called keying alike, is a common and practical solution for homeowners. It simplifies your keyring without compromising security. We handle this as part of our residential rekeying service.
