Key Duplication & Rekeying Services

Key duplication and rekeying services play an essential role in maintaining secure and functional access to homes, businesses, and vehicles. Locksmith Boston offers reliable, accurate, and professional key services designed to help customers maintain control over their property while ensuring that their locks and keys work smoothly.

Key duplication is one of the most common services people need. Keys can wear out over time, develop cracks, or become difficult to insert into locks. Having a properly cut duplicate key helps prevent lockouts and reduces strain on the lock mechanism. Whether you need additional keys for family members, employees, tenants, or simply a backup, precise cutting ensures that the duplicated key works smoothly without causing damage. We work with standard keys, house keys, office keys, mailbox keys, padlock keys, and many other key types used throughout Boston.

Accuracy is crucial when duplicating keys. An improperly cut key can damage the lock, get stuck, or fail to turn smoothly. Our duplication process focuses on producing clean, accurate keys that match the original in shape and function, helping extend the lifespan of the lock.

Rekeying is another important service for homeowners and businesses. Instead of replacing the entire lock, rekeying modifies the internal pins so that old keys no longer work. This is especially useful when moving into a new property, experiencing key turnover among employees, losing a key, or making general security updates. Rekeying allows you to maintain the existing hardware as long as it is still in good working condition, making it an affordable way to regain control over who has access.

The rekeying process begins with removing the lock from the door, adjusting the internal key pins, and creating a new key that matches the updated configuration. Once completed, the lock operates as before but with a completely new key system. This helps ensure that only authorized individuals can enter the property.

We also assist with master key systems, which allow one master key to open multiple locks while each lock also has its own unique key. This is ideal for offices, multi-unit homes, property managers, and businesses that need organized key access across multiple doors. Master key setups require careful planning to ensure security and functionality, and we design systems tailored to your property’s layout.

Mailbox locks, interior door locks, and cabinet locks also benefit from rekeying and key duplication. Whether you are upgrading access or replacing worn-out keys, these smaller locks play an important role in everyday security.

If a key becomes difficult to turn, sticks in the lock, or shows visible wear, it may be time to duplicate or replace it. Proper maintenance ensures that both locks and keys stay in good condition, reducing the risk of breakage or malfunction.

At Locksmith Boston, our key duplication and rekeying services are designed with precision and attention to detail. We aim to provide practical, reliable solutions that maintain the integrity of your locks and help you manage access to your property with confidence.
