Car Lock Rekey in Atlanta

Bought used, or don't know who's got an extra key? We'll rekey your car locks onsite, anywhere in the Atlanta metro area.

With a rekey, the locks that you have on your car will be changed so that a new key works while making every previous key useless, and without having to replace the actual locks. This is the quickest option for taking back control over the people that can enter your vehicle, and our team does this onsite within the metro Atlanta area.

When a rekey is the right choice

• When you've purchased a used vehicle and are unsure how many keys there are out there right now.
• Yor car key was lost or even worse got stolen and you'd rather not bet on luck.
• You want all the doors, trunks and ignition to operate on a single key.

Replace or rekey, what is best?

New locks involve a replacement of the hardware, leading to a larger charge. The rekeying simply entails adjusting the pinning inside the lock to enable opening using a new key, which saves time and money for the majority of motorists. When the damage to the lock is significant, it may call for replacement, and we will advise you accordingly.

If you're not sure who might still have access, then rekeying your locks gives you a clean slate, especially since you recently acquired the used car, meaning that after a rekey your only valid key would be the one you are holding.
