Smart Security for New Homeowners
You just bought a new house—congratulations! But do you know who else has a key? Previous owners, realtors, contractors, or neighbors might still have access.
At 10 Minute Locksmith, we offer a cost-effective solution: Lock Rekeying. Instead of replacing your expensive handles and deadbolts, we simply change the internal pins so they work with a brand new key. It’s faster, cheaper, and just as secure as buying new locks.

Fast, Reliable Lock Rekeying & Security Solutions
From residential rekeying for new move-ins to custom master key systems and high-security deadbolt installation, we deliver on-the-spot service to keep your property safe and secure.
Our Rekeying Services
1
Residential Rekeying
Perfect for new move-ins. We come to your house, disassemble the lock cylinders, and insert new tumblers. We then cut you a fresh set of keys on the spot.
2
Master Key Systems
For landlords and business owners, we can create a “Master Key” system. You get one key that opens every door, while your tenants or employees get keys that only open their specific office or apartment.
3
Deadbolt Installation & Repair
If your current locks are broken or too old to be rekeyed, we carry a stock of high-security deadbolts in our van for immediate installation.
When Should You Rekey?
- This is the #1 reason to rekey.
- Restore your privacy and security quickly.
- Ensure former occupants can no longer enter.
- If you lose a key, don't take the risk. Rekeying ensures that key can't be used against you.

Frequently Asked Questions - 10 Minutes Lock Rekeying Service St. Louis
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Yes, significantly. Rekeying only requires labor and small pins, whereas replacing requires buying entirely new metal hardware.
Do you need the original key to rekey a lock?
Ideally, yes. But if you don’t have it, we can pick the lock open first and then rekey it. This takes a little longer but is fully possible.
How long does it take?
An average home with 3-4 locks can be rekeyed in under an hour.
Can you make all my locks use one key?
Yes! As long as your locks share the same keyway brand (e.g., all Schlage or all Kwikset), we can “key them alike” for your convenience.
