Lock Rekey in Albany, NY

Moving into a new home in Albany, NY? Had a roommate or tenant move out? Lost a set of keys? Lock rekeying is one of the smartest and most affordable ways to restore your property's security. BH Locksmith Services USA provides certified lock rekeying services throughout Albany and Albany County, ensuring that only the people you authorize can access your property.

Rekeying is different from replacing your locks. Instead of removing and installing new hardware, our locksmith adjusts the internal pins of your existing locks so that old keys no longer work. You get brand-new keys that are unique to you — at a fraction of the cost of new locks.

When to Rekey Your Locks in Albany

There are many situations where rekeying your locks in Albany is the smart move:

• After moving into a new home: You never know how many copies of the key are floating around from previous owners.
• After a break-up or roommate change: When someone who had a key no longer should, rekeying restores your security immediately.
• Lost or stolen keys: If a key set goes missing in Albany, rekeying eliminates the risk of unauthorized entry.
• Tenant turnover: Albany landlords and property managers should rekey between every tenant.
• Employee changes: When a Albany business has staff turnover, rekeying office locks is essential.

Our Rekeying Process in Albany

When you call BH Locksmith Services USA for lock rekeying in Albany, our locksmith will:

1. Remove the lock cylinder from the door (takes seconds)

3. Test the new keys to ensure smooth, reliable operation
4. Provide you with your desired number of new key copies

Master Key Systems for Albany Properties

A master key system is the ultimate convenience for Albany property owners and managers. Here's how it works: each lock gets its own unique key, but a single master key opens them all. This is perfect for:

• Albany apartment buildings where managers need universal access
• Office buildings with different departments needing separate access
• Multi-door homes where one key for everything saves hassle
• Rental properties where landlord access must be maintained

We design and implement master key systems during the rekeying process — it's the most cost-effective time to set one up.
