Why Preston Locksmith & Security Is Woodcrest’s Preferred Rekey Locks Company

Woodcrest residents keep calling us because we show up when we say we will, with a price already locked in writing. The Relay Visibility Guarantee is the reason: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of every cylinder we rekey, and a written quote before anything starts. Kevin Yoon runs our team with a simple rule: the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.

Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and named before they knock. No anonymous subcontractor pulling up in an unmarked van. For a Woodcrest homeowner with a detached barn or tack room on the property, that matters. You want one key for the whole place, and you want to know the person doing the work is accountable. We’re independently owned and operated, founded in 2008, and every rekey gets the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That includes a free second visit if anything fails.

Rekey Deadbolt in Woodcrest

A Rekey Deadbolt job in Woodcrest means opening the existing deadbolt, replacing the internal pins so the old key no longer turns, and cutting you new keys, all without replacing the hardware. If you’ve lost a key, had a roommate move out, or bought a home in a Woodcrest neighborhood like the tracts east of Washington Street, this is the fastest way to restore exclusive control of your doors. Expect $25 – $45 per deadbolt cylinder, written before we begin.

When a Deadbolt Rekey Makes Sense

The classic Woodcrest scenario is a new homeowner who got keys from the seller, the seller’s agent, a cleaner, and a dog walker. None of you know how many copies are floating around. A deadbolt rekey stops every one of those old keys at once. No new hardware, no drilling.

Pairing Multiple Deadbolts

Most Woodcrest houses have two or three exterior deadbolts. We can key all of them alike, meaning one key operates every deadbolt on the property, including any on detached buildings. This is where a written quote before dispatch saves you from a tech who arrives and only rekeys the front door.

Rekey House in Woodcrest

A Rekey House job in Woodcrest covers every entry lock on the property: front door, back door, garage access door, and any outbuildings you want on the same key. For most Woodcrest homes, that’s three to six cylinders, with the average total running $75 – $270 depending on how many doors we touch. The price is quoted per cylinder, in writing, before any work begins.

Full-Property Rekey Expectations

We were out to a horse property in Woodcrest where the owner had just closed on a house with a detached tack room and two exterior storage buildings, all on the same old builder-grade Kwikset keyway from the previous owner. Our tech rekeyed three deadbolts on the house plus the tack room and storage doors in one trip, matching every cylinder to a single new key and setting aside one keyed-alike spare for the barn. Nothing was replaced, just the pins inside each existing lock cylinder, and the old keys stopped working at every door before we left.

Mixed Hardware on One Keyway

Woodcrest homes often end up with mismatched brands over the years: a Kwikset knob here, a Schlage deadbolt there, maybe a Yale keypad entry on the side door. Rekeying each cylinder to match a single new key is absolutely doable, even across brands, as long as the cylinder itself is compatible. We’ll confirm what can and cannot be keyed alike before we quote, so you’re not surprised later. This is the kind of detail the Rekey Locks team handles every week in Woodcrest.

Trusted Brands We Service in Woodcrest

Our Woodcrest techs carry pin kits, key blanks, and replacement cylinders for Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco hardware, plus the specialty tools for Abloy and other high-security lines. That local parts stock means a standard rekey rarely needs a second trip. Whether your home uses builder-grade Kwikset from the 1990s or a newer Medeco deadbolt on the front door, we can typically rekey it the same day. We stock common key blanks in the service van, so your new keys are cut on-site, not mailed to you later.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Woodcrest Homes

• The barn and tack room are on the old keyway. Woodcrest’s housing stock runs heavily to 1980s – 2000s tract homes and horse-property parcels on half-acre and larger lots, so a single rekey visit often covers a detached barn, tack room, or RV/storage building that shares keyway with the house. A quote that only covers the main house misses half the security job.
• Mixed brands across the doors. A Kwikset knob on the laundry door, a Schlage deadbolt up front, and a newer Yale keypad entry on the side. Each cylinder needs its own pinning, and not every brand’s keyway accepts the same new key. We map the property before we quote.
• Builder-grade locks that should be upgraded. Rekeying a cheap knob or deadbolt that isn’t ANSI Grade 1 on a property with outbuildings leaves the weak point intact. We’ll rekey what you ask, and we’ll tell you honestly if a specific cylinder is thin metal that a crowbar would shrug at.
• Lockout-plus-rekey situations. You’re locked out of a Woodcrest home and also want the locks rekeyed once you’re inside. We can do a non-destructive entry on most residential locks and then rekey the cylinder in the same visit. That’s one trip, one written price.
