Keep your home secure with professional lock rekeying from a background-checked, insured mobile locksmith. New keys for your existing locks, done on site and usually in under an hour.
Our process
Answer a few quick questions about your locks, how many doors, and what prompted the rekey. Just moved in? Lost a key? We have heard it all.
Snap a picture of one of the locks. This helps Jorge identify the brand and type so he arrives with the right pins and tools.
Confirm if you need the service now or will schedule it for a later date. We confirm the address and contact info and then head your way.
Jorge arrives at your door, checks each lock in person, and walks you through the plan. No surprises.
The rekeying gets done right there. Jorge changes the pins inside each lock cylinder so only your new keys will work. Old keys stop working immediately.
Every rekeyed lock gets tested with the new keys while you watch. Jorge hands over your new set and answers any questions before wrapping up.
Overview
Rekeying is one of the simplest ways to take control of your home's security. Instead of replacing your entire lock, a locksmith changes the internal pins so that a new key operates the lock and the old key no longer works. It is faster, less expensive, and leaves your existing hardware in place.
Cactus Canyon Mobile Locksmith provides on-site rekeying service across the Tucson metro area. Jorge Gonzalez, the owner and lead locksmith, handles every job personally.
There is no call center, no rotating technician, and no subcontractor. You deal directly with a background-checked, insured professional who trained at the Arizona School of Locksmithing in Phoenix.
Most homeowners rekey their locks after buying a new home, ending a lease, losing a set of keys, or going through a roommate change. Landlords and property managers use rekeying to reset access between tenants without the cost of replacing hardware every time.
Jorge works with all major residential lock brands, including Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Weiser, and Defiant. Whether you have a single front-door deadbolt or a dozen locks across multiple entry points, he can rekey them all to work with one key or set up a master key system for your property.
Every rekeying job comes with upfront pricing, a 90-day warranty on the work, and a quick turnaround. Most homes take under an hour.

What's included
Just closed on a new house? Rekeying is the first step to knowing exactly who has a key. Previous owners, their family members, old contractors, and real estate agents may all have copies. Jorge rekeys every exterior lock so only your new keys work from day one.
If you manage rental properties, rekeying between tenants is faster and more affordable than swapping out hardware. Jorge handles single-unit turnovers and multi-door rental properties alike and can set up a landlord master key so you always have access.
A master key system lets one key open every lock in the house while each individual lock still has its own unique key. Useful for multi-door homes, casitas, guest houses, or rental properties where you want tenant keys that work on their unit but a single owner key that opens everything.
Tired of carrying a different key for every door? Jorge can rekey all your locks to work with one single key. Front door, back door, side gate, and garage entry, all opened by one key. This is one of the most popular add-ons during a move-in rekey.

Good to know
Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock cylinder so that a new key operates the lock and the old key stops working. The lock itself stays in place. It is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
Cost depends on the number of locks and the type of hardware. Jorge provides a clear, upfront quote before starting any work. No hidden fees.
If your locks are in good working condition, rekeying is usually the better choice. It costs less, takes less time, and achieves the same result: old keys no longer work. If the hardware is damaged or worn out or you want to upgrade to a different lock style, replacement makes more sense. Jorge can assess your locks on site and walk you through the options.
Most single locks take about 10 to 15 minutes. A full house with four to six locks typically takes under an hour.
Yes. Jorge can rekey all your locks to work with one key, which is called keying alike. This is one of the most common requests during a move-in rekey.
It is strongly recommended. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the old keys are out there. Previous owners, family members, contractors, house cleaners, and real estate agents may all have copies. Rekeying is the quickest way to reset access.
Jorge works with all major residential brands, including Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Weiser, Defiant, Arrow, Emtek, and more. Send a photo of your lock, and he can confirm before the visit.
