Whether you've just moved into a new home, lost your keys, or want to upgrade from older model locks to modern high-security options, we have solutions to fit your needs and budget.

Lock Rekeying vs. Lock Replacement: What's Best for You?

One of the most common questions customers ask is: Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks? The answer depends on your specific circumstances, the condition of your existing hardware, and your security goals.

Professional service image 4

Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of a lock so that old keys no longer work while new keys do. This is typically the more affordable option and is ideal when your locks are in good condition but you need to invalidate existing keys - such as after moving into a new house, ending a relationship, or experiencing key loss. Rekeying allows you to change your security without the expense of entirely new hardware.

Lock replacement makes more sense when your existing locks are worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher-security options. If you're changing from a basic builder-grade lock to a pick-resistant deadbolt, or switching to a smart lock system, replacement is necessary. Modern high-security locks offer features like drill resistance, bump-proof mechanisms, and electronic access that provide significantly enhanced protection.

Our locksmith professionals can inspect your current locks and provide honest recommendations based on their condition and your security needs. Sometimes a combination approach works best - replacing primary entry locks while rekeying secondary doors. We'll help you find the solution that provides the best security value for your budget.

Commonly Asked Questions

How much does a local locksmith cost in Little Rock?
The average cost for locksmith services in Little Rock, AR varies based on the specific service needed. Basic lockouts typically range from $50-$100, while lock rekeying costs $15-$30 per lock. Lock installation and car key replacement are generally more expensive due to hardware and programming requirements. We provide free quotes upfront so you know the exact cost before work begins.

Yes, our experienced locksmiths can create new keys without the original for most locks and vehicles. For homes, we can pick the lock, decode it, and cut a new key on-site. For cars, we use specialized equipment and vehicle databases to program new keys. This service is particularly valuable when you've lost all copies of your keys.
How much is a locksmith in Arkansas?
Locksmith pricing in Arkansas is competitive with national averages. Emergency services during nights, weekends, or holidays may include additional fees due to the urgency and timing. We strive to offer affordable rates while maintaining professional quality, and we're always transparent about our pricing before beginning any work.
How much should I tip a locksmith?
Tipping a locksmith is not expected but is always appreciated for exceptional service. If your technician goes above and beyond, arrives quickly during an emergency, or provides particularly helpful advice, a tip of $10-$20 is a generous gesture. However, the best way to show appreciation is through positive reviews and referrals.
What do I do if I can't afford a locksmith?
If cost is a concern, call us anyway - we may be able to offer payment options or suggest the most affordable solution for your situation. Sometimes a simple rekey is much cheaper than expected. We also recommend asking for a quote before service begins and comparing options. Avoid attempting DIY methods that could cause expensive damage to locks or doors.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?
Rekeying is typically cheaper than replacement if your existing locks are in good condition. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys won't work, usually costing $15-$30 per lock.
