Sound familiar? You reach the front door after a long day and dig through a bunch of five or six keys just to get inside. There’s the deadbolt key, the screen door key, the back door key… it doesn’t have to be this way.
What Is “Keyed Alike”?
Keyed alike means all the locks on your home (or a selection of them) are set up to use the same key. Rather than replacing your locks, a qualified locksmith like Northside Locksmiths can rekey your existing locks so they all operate from one convenient key.
Is It Secure?
Yes — a keyed alike system is just as secure as having different keys. The change is purely in the internal pins of the lock cylinder, not the lock hardware itself. You’re not compromising security; you’re simplifying convenience.
What’s Involved?
The process is straightforward for a qualified locksmith. We disassemble the cylinder, repin it to match your chosen key combination, reassemble, and test. Most homes can be done in a single visit. We can also supply extra keys cut to your new common key if needed.
