Lock Installation & Rekeying
New locks installed to spec, or rekeyed fast so old keys stop working.
South Bronx Locksmith & Intercom Services installs new deadbolts, mortise locks and storefront hardware to spec, and rekeys existing locks so old keys stop working and only your new keys open the door — usually in one visit.
What this covers
Lock installation covers fitting new deadbolts, mortise locks, cylindrical locksets and commercial storefront hardware — matched to your door thickness, backset and existing prep so nothing looks or feels retrofitted.
Rekeying keeps your existing hardware but changes the internal pins so old keys stop working. It's the fast, lower-cost move after a move-in, a lost key, or a tenant change — usually done on the spot without replacing the lock body.
Signs you need this
- You just moved into a new home or apartment in the South Bronx
- A key was lost, stolen, or given to someone who shouldn't have access anymore
- A tenant moved out and you want the unit secured before the next one moves in
- Your current lock is worn, loose, or no longer latches cleanly
- You're upgrading from a builder-grade lock to a real deadbolt
Frequently asked questions
Should I rekey or fully replace my locks?
If the hardware itself is in good shape, rekeying is almost always the smarter, cheaper move — same lock, new pins, old keys dead. We'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match my existing hardware finish?
In most cases yes — we carry common finishes and can source a match for less common ones before the visit.
How long does an install or rekey take?
A standard rekey is typically 10–15 minutes per lock. A new deadbolt or mortise install is usually completed the same visit.
