Lock Rekey vs. Lock Replacement in Oak Lawn

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

Master Key Systems for Oak Lawn Properties

A master key system is the ultimate convenience for Oak Lawn 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:

• Oak Lawn 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.
