Lock Rekeying in East Norwich, NY

A single rekeyed cylinder starts around $95. Most East Norwich houses have a front door, a back or side door, and sometimes a garage entry door, so the job usually means two or three cylinders.

You get the exact number from the technician on the callback, before anyone drives out.

• Ask to have them all keyed alike so one key works every lock in the house, that's standard practice and doesn't add much to the cost.
• High-security cylinders or locks that are worn, painted shut, or seized cost more to service since the technician has to work the mechanism before rekeying it.

East Norwich sits at the crossroads of NY 25A and NY 106, and with no LIRR station in the hamlet, our technicians are already used to running that stretch by car rather than routing around a station. Typical arrival is 15 to 30 minutes from the call.

When you call, the dispatcher takes your job and number right away, and the nearest technician calls you back within a few minutes to talk through which doors need rekeying and quote the price before anything is scheduled.

Have a photo ID ready if you're rekeying a home you don't obviously occupy yet, such as right after closing or a move-in, since the technician will ask to confirm you're authorized to have the locks changed. Know which doors you want done and whether you want them all on one key.

If a lock has been sticking or hard to turn, mention it on the callback so the technician brings what's needed to service it during the same visit instead of a second trip.
