What Our Residential Lock Rekeying Customers Say

Had to get my locks rekeyed after my ex moved out and wouldn't give back the keys. Called Liberty Locksmiths on a Tuesday morning and they came out the same day around 2pm. The guy (I think his name was Mike?) was super professional and got it done in like 45 minutes for 3 locks. Cost was exactly what they quoted over the phone - $180. Only thing is I wish they had called when they were on their way, but overall really satisfied with the service.

– Maria S., Jersey City

Excellent service from Liberty Locksmiths! We just bought our first home in the Heights and wanted fresh locks for peace of mind. The technician arrived right on time at 10am as scheduled, explained everything he was doing, and rekeyed our front door, back door, and side gate locks. He even showed me how the new keys worked and gave us some security tips. The whole job took about an hour and the pricing was very reasonable. Definitely recommend them to other homeowners in the area.

– Robert Chen, Jersey City

Pretty good experience overall. My roommate lost her keys AGAIN so we decided to just rekey instead of making more copies. Liberty came out next day morning, think it was around 11:30. The locksmith was nice enough but seemed a bit rushed - finished in maybe 30 mins. Keys work fine and price was fair at $120 for 2 locks. Would probably use them again but hoping I don't have to lol.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Lock Rekeying

How much does it cost to rekey my locks in Jersey City, and is it cheaper than replacing them?

Rekeying typically costs $25-$45 per lock cylinder, which is significantly less expensive than full lock replacement (usually $75-$150+ per lock). For a standard Jersey City home with 3-4 exterior locks, rekeying usually runs $100-$180 total. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, and yes - rekeying is almost always more cost-effective than replacement when your existing locks are in good condition. You'll get new keys that make your old ones useless, providing the same security benefit as new locks.

How long does the rekeying process take, and do I need to be home the whole time?

Most residential rekeying jobs take 30-60 minutes depending on the number of locks and their complexity. For a typical Jersey City home with 3-4 locks, expect about 45 minutes. Yes, you'll need to be present during the entire service since we're working on your security system and need access to test each lock. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day, and you can go about other activities in your home while we work.

Are you licensed to work in New Jersey, and what happens if something goes wrong with the rekeying?

Yes, Liberty Locksmiths and Security is fully licensed and insured to operate in New Jersey and Jersey City. We're bonded and carry liability insurance for your protection. If any issues arise with our rekeying work - such as a key not working properly or a lock mechanism problem - we'll return at no charge to fix it. We guarantee our workmanship for 90 days and stand behind every job we complete.

Can you rekey all different brands of locks, or do I need to know what type I have?

We can rekey most standard residential lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and others commonly found in Jersey City homes. You don't need to identify your lock brand beforehand - our technicians can determine compatibility on-site. However, some high-security or electronic locks may require special procedures or might not be rekeyable. We'll assess your locks during our visit and let you know your options, including whether replacement would be more practical for any particular lock.

I just moved into a rental in Jersey City - should I get permission from my landlord before rekeying the locks?

Yes, you should definitely get written permission from your landlord before rekeying locks in a rental property. Many Jersey City lease agreements specifically address lock changes. Some landlords are fine with rekeying as long as they receive a copy of the new keys, while others prefer to handle security themselves. We recommend checking your lease first and having a conversation with your landlord. We're happy to coordinate with property managers and can provide additional key copies for landlords when authorized.
