Lock Rekeying in Thomaston, NY

Most Thomaston rekeys run $95 to $300+, and the swing comes down to two things: how many cylinders you're rekeying and whether you want them all keyed alike. A single front door lock is the low end.

The technician who calls you back will ask how many locks and give you a firm number before anyone drives over.

• A house with front, side, and garage entry locks, all set to open on one key, costs more because each cylinder has to be pinned to match.
• Since Thomaston is almost entirely single-family homes, most jobs here are the multi-door, single-key type, front door plus a side or rear entry, sometimes a detached garage.

Thomaston sits at the southeast corner of the Great Neck peninsula, and unlike some neighboring areas it doesn't have its own LIRR stop, the nearest is over in Great Neck. That doesn't slow us down; if anything it means our dispatch routes technicians along Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) or Middle Neck Road straight into the village rather than working around station traffic.

Call and a dispatcher takes your job and number right away, then the nearest available technician calls you back within a few minutes to talk through your lock setup and quote the job. Typical arrival after that call is 15 to 30 minutes.

Have the keys you want to keep working on hand, if you're rekeying to match an existing key rather than starting fresh, the technician needs to see it. Know which doors need new pins: front door, side entry, garage door, and whether you want one key for all of them or separate keys per lock.

If you're on East Shore Road, Colonial Road, or anywhere set back from the main routes, a porch light or open door helps our technician find the right house quickly once they're in the neighborhood. We're a locally dispatched crew, not a national call center reselling your job, so the person who calls you back is the one doing the work.
