On a snowy night in Denver, I needed a car locksmith fast. The response from Lock Pixies was incredible.

After dealing with a Lock Pixies locksmith, that will be the only locksmith I’ll call in the future.
I couldn’t believe how cheap it was to get 4 car doors and the truck rekeyed by Lock Pixies.

Locksmith Rekeying Service in Denver
Rekeying is useful when a lock works properly but you need to change who can open it. For a typical pin-tumbler lock, the technician changes the internal pin configuration to match a new key. The existing handle or deadbolt can remain when it is compatible and in good condition.
Our residential locksmith and commercial locksmith services cover moves, tenant changes and lost-key situations. Tell us which doors need attention, whether the locks share a brand or keyway, and who is authorized to approve the work.
The benefits can include making old keys unusable and reducing the number of keys you carry. Compatible cylinders can often be keyed alike. Different brands, keyways, restricted systems or worn parts may require a different approach; compatibility needs to be checked before work begins.
After the technician checks the locks, agree on the scope, price and number of new keys. Test every new key in each affected lock before the visit ends. Keep track of who receives copies so you can manage access after the change.
When Should You Rekey Your Locks?
Consider rekeying after moving into a home, losing a key, changing tenants or when a former employee still has access. The decision depends on the condition of the hardware and whether you can account for existing keys. Renters should arrange authorization with their landlord or property manager.
For businesses, identify the doors, authorized key holders and any existing master key system before scheduling. Rekeying a lock does not revoke electronic access cards or keypad codes; those credentials must be reviewed separately. Plan the visit around staff access and normal business operations.
After a break-in, have the door, frame, strike plate and lock assessed for damage. Rekeying changes key access but does not repair a damaged door or worn mechanism. Repair or replacement may be needed before the opening can be secured.
Rekey Locks or Replace Locks?
Choose rekeying when the hardware is sound and the goal is to prevent old keys from working. Choose repair or replacement when there is damage, a mechanical fault, incompatible hardware or a need for a different lock. Our mobile locksmith can assess the opening at your address.
A key that will not turn does not automatically mean the lock needs rekeying. A worn key, damaged cylinder or door alignment problem can cause similar symptoms. Describe whether the problem happens with the door open or closed and avoid forcing the key. The cause should be identified before selecting the repair.
Replacement may be appropriate if the lock is damaged, worn beyond repair or unsuitable for the access you need. A smart-lock upgrade also requires checking door dimensions, alignment and backup entry options. New hardware should fit the door and the way the property is used.
Rekeying can cost less than replacement when the existing hardware is reusable, but there is no fixed saving for every job. Ask for an estimate that separates the service visit, labor, parts, new keys and any after-hours charges. The number and type of cylinders, their condition and whether a working key is available affect the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long would it take to rekey the locks for all of the doors around my home?
The time depends on the number and type of locks, their condition, whether a working key is available and any compatibility issues. Tell us how many cylinders need attention and whether you want them to share one key. For a commercial building, discuss access arrangements and scheduling to limit disruption. Confirm the expected duration after the technician assesses the job.
My business facility has lots of doors, most of which require locks and keys. How can I cut down on the number of keys I have to carry?
Keying compatible locks alike lets one key open all of them. A master key system is different: it can provide different access levels while allowing an authorized master key to open several locks. Neither option works with every existing cylinder. The technician needs to check brands, keyways, hardware condition and any property-management requirements before confirming what can be retained.
How fast can you respond to emergency calls?
Call (720) 304-5504 for current availability and an arrival estimate. Travel time depends on your address, traffic, weather, ongoing jobs and the equipment needed. Explain whether you are locked out or unable to secure a door. We do not promise a fixed arrival time for every call.
How can we help you?
Need help beyond rekeying? Lock Pixies also provides residential, commercial and automotive locksmith services. Describe the problem when you call so we can confirm the appropriate service and equipment. Ask about the six-month workmanship guarantee and its terms when arranging your visit.
When an office or storefront becomes empty, rekeying works best as part of a wider handoff. Follow our Boulder vacant commercial property security checklist to coordinate keys, digital access, door condition, alarms, and inspections.
