Every business runs into a key problem sooner or later. A manager leaves and a copy never comes back, the cleaning company changes, or you move into a space where the last tenant’s keys are still floating around. Rekeying fixes it without new hardware: we change the pins inside each cylinder so a new key works and every old key fails. Master Locksmith rekeys offices, stores, restaurants and medical offices in Silver Spring and the surrounding area, and we can build the new keys into a setup that fits how your team actually works.

That might mean one key for every door, separate keys for the front office and the stockroom, or a master key system where managers open everything and staff open only what they need. We set these up for businesses from Wheaton to College Park and from the District to Columbia, Baltimore and Tysons. Call (301) 888-5152 any day but Sunday, 8am to 8pm.

What a Commercial Rekey Gets You

Rekeying is one of the least expensive ways to tighten security at a business, and it covers more than new keys.

Old Keys Made Useless

Former employees, contractors and previous tenants can't get in once the pins change. You don't have to track down every copy that ever left the building.

Keys Organized Around Your Staff

We can set up a master key system with levels, so the owner carries one key for everything and each team gets access to its own areas and nothing more.

Restricted Keys Available

Standard keys can be copied at any hardware store. Restricted keys can't be copied without your authorization, which gives you real control over how many exist.

Scheduled Around Your Hours

We can rekey before you open, after you close or on a Saturday, all within our 8am to 8pm hours, so customers barely notice we were there.

A Record of Who Has What

We label the new keys by door and can give you a simple list of which key opens what, which makes the next change much easier.

When Businesses Call Us to Rekey

Rekeying is worth doing any time you lose track of who holds a key.

Employee Turnover

If someone leaves on bad terms, or simply forgets to hand back a key, a rekey is the simplest way to close that gap.

New Lease or New Location

Moving into a space means inheriting every key the last tenant, the landlord and past contractors ever made. Rekey before you move inventory in.

Lost Master or Manager Keys

A lost key that opens several doors is a bigger risk than a single door key. We rekey the affected locks and can redesign the system so one lost key doesn't expose everything.

After a Theft

If there's any chance a key was involved, rekey right away. We'll also check the locks and strikes for signs of tampering.

Too Many Different Keys

If your managers carry a ring of ten keys, we can move compatible locks onto fewer keys, or set up a master system, while we rekey.

Some commercial locks use interchangeable cores that come out with a special control key, without removing the lock from the door. If your building has them, we can rekey or swap cores across many doors in one visit.

How a Business Rekey Works

1. Call or Send a Request

Tell us over the phone at (301) 888-5152, or through the form, how many locks you have, what kinds of doors, and who needs access to what.

2. Get a Clear Quote

We price the whole job before scheduling. For larger sites, we may look at the doors first so the quote is accurate.

3. A Technician Heads Your Way

We come at a time that suits your business, with pinning kits, cylinders and key blanks for the common commercial brands.

4. The Work Itself

We rekey each cylinder, or swap cylinders and cores where that's faster, working door by door so no entrance is left unsecured while we work.

5. Testing Before We Finish

Every lock is tested with its new keys, and master keys are tried on every door they're meant to open.

6. Before We Leave

You get labeled keys and, if you'd like, a written list of which key opens which door.

Commercial Rekey Questions

How is rekeying different from replacing commercial locks?

Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing cylinders so new keys work. Replacing means installing new hardware. If your locks are in good shape, rekeying costs much less and gives you the same control over keys.

What is a master key system?

It’s a set of locks keyed so each one has its own key, plus a master key that opens all or some of them. Owners and managers carry the master, and staff carry keys only for their areas.

Can you stop employees from copying keys?

A “Do Not Duplicate” stamp helps a little, but it isn’t reliable. Restricted keys are the better answer, because the blanks are only sold through authorized locksmiths and copies need your approval.
