Lock Rekeying in Hicksville, NY

A single cylinder rekey starts around $95. Most Hicksville jobs run higher because the post-war Cape Cods, ranches, and split-levels common here usually have a front door, side or garage entry door, and sometimes a separate deadbolt, meaning two to four cylinders instead of one.

If you want all of them keyed alike, that's factored into the setup, not charged as a separate add-on. The technician quotes the exact number over the callback once you describe how many doors and lock types you have, so you know the total before they drive over.

Call the dispatcher, give your address and situation, and the nearest available technician calls you back within a few minutes to quote the job and lock in a window, typically arriving in 15 to 25 minutes. If you're in one of the newer apartment buildings rising near the LIRR station, mention the building name and unit when you call so the tech can find the right entrance and buzzer setup instead of circling the block.

For single-family homes off Newbridge Road, Broadway, or Old Country Road, having your house number visible from the street speeds things up, especially at night.

Have one working key on hand if any locks still function, since it helps the technician confirm the cylinder brand and pin count before they start. Know how many exterior doors need rekeying and whether you want them matched to a single key or kept separate.

If this is a landlord or property situation with multiple units, decide in advance which doors are priority so the tech can quote and sequence the work without a second visit.
