Home Rekey Service
When you move into a home along Hulmeville Road or settle into one of Andalusia's quiet residential blocks near the Delaware waterfront, one of the smartest first calls you can make is to have your locks rekeyed. Previous owners, former tenants, real estate agents, contractors, and even neighbors may still hold copies of the original keys — and there is simply no way to know how many are out there. A professional home rekey service resets that uncertainty entirely, giving you full control over who can and cannot walk through your door.

Losing a key triggers the same concern. Whether a house key went missing during a move, fell out of a pocket at Veterans Park, or was left behind at a job site, a lost key is a live security gap until the lock cylinder is rekeyed.

Our trained, insured technicians come directly to your address, work on-site, and in most cases complete the job without any damage to your existing hardware — so you get a fresh set of keys and genuine peace of mind without replacing the entire lock.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the average locksmith charge for a home rekey?
There is no single flat answer, because the final price depends on several real variables: the type of lock being rekeyed (a mortise lock cylinder takes more time and components than a standard door knob lock), the number of locks on the job, the time of day, how far the technician needs to travel, and whether any parts require replacement. What we can promise is that every Bensalem Locksmiths technician confirms an exact up-front price before any work begins — so you always know what you are agreeing to before a single pin is touched.
What locks can locksmiths not open or rekey?
A skilled technician can rekey virtually any pin-tumbler lock, including deadbolts, mortise lock cylinders, knob locks, and most padlocks. High-security locks with patented keyways — such as certain Medeco or Mul-T-Lock models — require factory-authorized key blanks, which affects the key-cutting portion but not the rekeying itself if the right blanks are in stock. Truly unpickable or non-rekeyable lock bodies are rare in residential settings. If we encounter something outside our current kit, we tell you immediately and explain your options honestly rather than proceeding with a workaround that compromises security.
What should I ask a locksmith before hiring them for a home rekey?
Ask whether they will confirm the final price before starting work — any reputable technician does this as a matter of course. Ask whether they are insured, since that protects your property if anything goes wrong during the job. Ask whether they can service your specific lock type, especially if you have an older mortise lock or a high-security cylinder. Ask how they verify ownership before working on a residential lock — our technicians always ask for a form of ID and proof of residency as a standard step, because this protects you as much as it protects us. Finally, ask roughly how long the job will take so you can plan your schedule accordingly.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost compared to a scheduled visit?
Time of day, urgency of the call, and travel distance are among the factors that can influence pricing on an emergency locksmith dispatch. A call at 2 a.m. may involve different considerations than a mid-morning appointment. That said, Bensalem Locksmiths does not add hidden fees after the fact — the quote our technician gives you on arrival accounts for all relevant factors, and that is the number you pay. We believe transparency about pricing is simply part of doing the job right, so you will never be handed an invoice that does not match what was agreed to at the door.
Is there a 24-hour locksmith serving Andalusia and the surrounding Bucks County area?
Yes — Bensalem Locksmiths operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Our mobile technicians are available for home rekey calls, emergency lockouts, mortise lock repairs, and all other residential lock services throughout Andalusia, Bensalem Township, and the surrounding Bucks County communities. There is no after-hours answering service — when you call (215) 326-3207, you reach our team directly, and we can typically dispatch to the Andalusia area within the hour regardless of when you call.
Do I need to replace my entire lock, or is rekeying enough after a lost key?
In most cases, rekeying is entirely sufficient. If the lock body itself is in good working order — no cracked housing, no worn latch cam, no stripped cylinder — there is no security reason to replace it. Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration so that any previously cut key, including the lost one, will not operate the lock. Our technicians inspect the hardware before starting and will flag any genuine wear or damage they find. If replacement is warranted, we explain why and give you options. If rekeying is all that is needed, that is what we recommend — we have no interest in selling you work you do not need.
