Rekey Your Locks in Peoria
So Old Keys Stop Working
Closing on a new build in Vistancia? Just bought a home off Grand Avenue? Rekeying makes builder keys, contractor copies, and every old key permanently stop working — same lock, new combination. $149 first door, $247 for a typical 3-door Peoria home. About 20 minutes per lock. Price quoted before we start — it cannot change.
When to Rekey Your Peoria Home
Rekeying isn't just for emergencies — it's the right move any time key control changes.
Closing Day on a New Build
North Peoria is full of brand-new streets — Vistancia, WestWing Mountain, Terramar. During construction, your home was opened with a builder master key, and contractors, inspectors, and trades often carried copies. Rekeying on closing day makes every one of those keys permanently stop working. It's the closing-day step most new owners never hear about.
Just Bought an Established Home
In the older core along Grand Avenue — Old Town Peoria, Fletcher Heights, the streets around the Sports Complex — a home may have decades of key copies floating around: previous owners, neighbors, house sitters, agents. Rekeying resets all of it in about an hour. For a first-time buyer, it's the best-value security upgrade you'll ever make.
Roommate or Tenant Change
An old roommate, a previous tenant, or a short-term guest still has your key. You can't know if they made copies. Rekeying is faster and cheaper than changing the entire lock — and just as secure.
Lost or Stolen Keys
If your keys were lost or stolen — especially with an address attached — rekeying is essential. Someone has access to your home and you don't know who. Rekeying eliminates the risk immediately. Bonus: while we're at it, we can key all your doors alike, so one key opens everything.

Should You Rekey or Replace?
Almost always, rekeying is the right choice — especially on a new build, where the hardware is brand new and only the keys are the problem.
| Rekey | Replace (new hardware) | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost (3-door home) | $247 | $450–$900+ |
| Time | ~1 hour | 1.5–3 hours |
| Security level | Same as new lock | Same as new lock |
| Old keys stop working | Yes — immediately | Yes |
| Keep existing hardware | Yes | No |
| Best when | Lock is in good condition | Lock is damaged or you're upgrading |
If your lock is damaged, broken, or you want to upgrade to a smart lock or higher-grade deadbolt — then replacement makes sense. In every other case, rekeying gives you the same security at a fraction of the cost. On a new-construction home in Vistancia or Terramar, the locks are perfect — they just answer to too many keys.
