Need A Locksmith?
At Woody The Locksmith LLC, we specialize in residential rekeying services designed to give homeowners, landlords, and property managers complete control over who has access to their property.

Whether you’ve recently moved, had a tenant move out, or misplaced your keys, our professional locksmiths provide fast, reliable rekeying throughout Meriden and nearby Connecticut towns.
Our Residential Rekeying Services Include:
Choosing to rekey instead of replace helps you maintain your existing locks while changing which keys operate them. This option is ideal when locks are still in good shape but access needs to be restricted. It’s faster, more affordable, and just as secure as replacing hardware, giving you peace of mind without unnecessary cost.
Security between tenants is crucial for rental properties. We provide rekeying services for apartments, condos, and multi-unit buildings to ensure former tenants can no longer access the property. Our locksmiths can rekey multiple locks efficiently, helping landlords and property managers maintain consistent security with minimal downtime between tenants.
When you move into a new home, it’s important to make sure you’re the only one with working keys. Rekeying provides immediate control over access without changing your hardware. We rekey all entry points, including front, back, and garage doors, so you can feel safe knowing that only your new keys open your doors.
If you’ve replaced a damaged lock or lost a set of keys, our rekeying services restore your security quickly. We can adjust new and existing locks on the same visit, ensuring that all doors use the same key and that any lost or stolen keys no longer work.
Rekeying is one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to maintain home security. It’s fast, reliable, and gives you immediate control over access.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Rekeying
What does it mean to rekey a lock?
Rekeying a lock means changing the internal pins or tumblers so that the old key no longer works, and a new key is required to unlock it. It keeps your existing hardware but resets who has access. This is a cost-effective way to improve security after moving into a new home, changing tenants, or losing your keys. Rekeying provides the same protection as replacing your locks, but at a lower cost and with less time required.
When should a homeowner consider rekeying their locks?
Homeowners should consider rekeying any time they’re unsure who has copies of their keys. Common situations include moving into a new home, losing keys, changing tenants, or after home repairs or renovations where multiple people had temporary access. Rekeying restores full control over your property by ensuring only your new keys can open your doors.
Is it better to rekey or replace my locks?
If your locks are in good working condition, rekeying is usually the better choice. It’s more affordable because you keep the same lock hardware and simply change the key configuration. Replacing locks is recommended when your locks are damaged, outdated, or when you want to upgrade to new features such as smart locks or higher security grades. A professional locksmith can help you determine which option makes the most sense for your situation.
How long does it take to rekey a house?
The time it takes to rekey a house depends on the number and type of locks, but most residential rekeying jobs can be completed in about 30 minutes to an hour. A locksmith will inspect each lock, remove the cylinder, replace the pins, and test new keys for smooth operation. Homes with multiple doors or older hardware may take slightly longer, but the process is typically quick and efficient.
Can all locks be rekeyed?
Most modern residential locks can be rekeyed, including deadbolts, knob locks, and lever handle locks from major manufacturers. However, some low-cost or damaged locks may not support rekeying and might need replacement instead. A licensed locksmith can inspect your locks and confirm whether they’re rekeyable, ensuring you get the most practical and affordable solution for your home.
