Lock Rekey vs. Lock Replacement in Chester

Many Chester homeowners wonder whether they should rekey or replace. Here's the simple comparison:

• Rekey: Keeps existing hardware, changes internal pins, new keys issued. Cost: typically $15-25 per lock. Best when locks are in good condition.
• Replace: Entirely new lock hardware installed. Cost: $50-200+ per lock. Best when locks are damaged, worn, or you want an upgrade.

For most Chester residents, rekeying is the right choice. Your existing locks are probably in fine shape — you just need new keys and peace of mind.

A master key system is the ultimate convenience for Chester 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:

• Chester apartment buildings where managers need universal access
• Office buildings with different departments needing separate access

• 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.
