ATL: How much to replace my locks?
Ask The Locksmith Question:I recently lost my keys and need to either replace my locks completely, or replace the cylindars within my existing locks. Which is better? More affordable? Please provide a price quite for both. Thanks.
Hi there...
Assuming you're talking about residential/commercial keys, the least expensive way to go is always rekeying (replacing the tumblers within the locks so that the old key does not work)... Rekeying residential/commercial buildings is a flat rate as follows:
$45.00 Service Call
$13.50 Rekeying per lock cylinder (everywhere you put a key)
(*includes 4 keys free, $1.75 per additional key)
Replacing your locks altogether is not recommended, nor necessary.
It's also nearly impossible to quote via e-mail or phone, as there are literally thousands of types/brands/finishes, etc., of locks, hardware, etc. If a customer insists on replacing all of their hardware, we would need to visit the site at no charge, see what you have there, find out what was wanted for replacement, and give you your options and quotes at that time. :)
Please let us know if we can be of assistance...
