Rekey or replace
Rekey or replace: how to decide
Start with the question you are trying to answer. If it is “who still has a key?”, rekey. If it is “why does this lock stick, wobble or look worn?”, repair or replace.
Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder so every old key stops working. The lock, handles and finish stay on the door, and the new keys are cut on site with the key machine in our van. Replacement swaps the hardware itself, which is the right call when a lock is damaged, too light-duty for the door, or not the function or look you want.
- Rekey: you moved in, a key went missing, or a tenant, roommate or contractor had a key
- Replace: the lock sticks, wobbles, is damaged or will not latch
- Replace: you want a keypad deadbolt, a smart lock or a different finish
- Either: you want one key for every door, which depends on the keyways
Chandler homes
Chandler homes, old and new
Chandler grew from about 30,000 residents in 1980 to almost 276,000 at the 2020 census, so its homes range from older houses near downtown to master-planned communities such as Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch in the south.
In an older home, the locks may be original or a mix of brands added over the years. Rekeying still works if they turn smoothly; if they are worn, replacing them makes more sense than rekeying a lock that is close to failing. In a newer home the hardware is usually sound, and the job is making sure only your household’s keys work after the builder, previous owners or agents.
Many Chandler neighborhoods have a homeowners association. If yours has rules about exterior hardware or finishes, check them before you choose a new handle set or keypad.
Rentals
Rental turnover and one key for everything
Between tenants, rekey every exterior lock, including the door from the garage, so the last tenant’s keys and any copies stop working. If you manage several units, each unit keeps its own key.
For your own home, the front door, back door and garage entry can usually share one key when the locks use a compatible keyway. Kwikset and Schlage, for example, use different keyways, so a mixed set may need one cylinder changed first.
Businesses
Business locks, downtown and along the Price Road Corridor
Our shop is in downtown Chandler, and we work on business doors across the city, from storefronts and restaurants downtown to the offices and tech campuses along the Price Road Corridor.
Commercial lock replacement usually means Grade 1 levers, storeroom functions or mortise locks matched to how each door is used. Rekeying and master key systems handle staff changes, while exit devices, door closers and access control cover the rest of the opening.
Cost
What affects the price
You get a clear estimate before any work starts. For rekeying and lock replacement, the price depends on:
- How many locks and cylinders: a knob and a deadbolt on one door are two
- Rekeying the locks you have, or supplying new hardware
- The brand, type and grade of each lock
- Whether the locks are keyed alike or kept on separate keys
- How many keys you need cut

I had to use this locksmith on Monday, which happened to be a holiday, and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the service! They responded incredibly quickly, were very professional and friendly, and had the job taken care of fast. Their customer service was excellent, especially considering it was a holiday. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free they made the whole situation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and responsive locksmith!

Needed the house rekeyed this morning after an old roommate moved out and I didn't trust that every copy came back. Diamondback Lock and Key made it quick and easy, in and out in under an hour for four locks.

One of our front door locks failed completely on a Friday afternoon. Customers still coming in, employees trying to leave for the weekend. Not a good situation. If your business is in Chandler and you need commercial lock work done fast, Diamondback Lock and Key is who you want. Been in this building almost 14 years and dealt with a few locksmiths over that time. Nobody moved this quick. They had someone out before I even had time to start stressing about it. The tech knew exactly what he was looking at. Didn't try to sell me a full replacement when a repair was the right call. That matters when you're standing there watching the clock. Everything was solid by the time he left and we didn't lose more than an hour of business. For a commercial property owner thats everything.

Louis was amazing. I was dealing with an “incorrect key ID” error and a car that wouldn’t start. After programming the key, he wasn’t satisfied when the problem came back and strongly suggested I have the battery tested again. He was right. It turned out I had both a key issue and a failing battery. What stood out most was his customer service. I was stressed, overwhelmed, and having a rough day, and he treated me with kindness, patience, and a great attitude. He genuinely cared about solving the problem instead of just completing the job. Highly recommend!

Great service! They solved my problem the same day and sent a great guy who took only 30 minutes to cut and program my car key. I will recommend them anytime and will call them again for future projects.

Never used them before but Luis came out last week and got our business locks working again and I was so relieved it didn't take all day.

Our back door at the shop was a nightmare. You'd push it shut and it just wouldn't catch unless you basically kicked it into place. Eran from Diamondback Lock and Key in Chandler came out, took one look at it, and said the mechanism was dry. He hit it with graphite spray and the door closed smooth on the first try. Charged us a reasonable amount for the visit. Wish I'd called sooner.
Neighborhoods
Chandler neighborhoods we cover
We cover every part of Chandler, including ZIP codes 85224, 85225, 85226, 85248, 85249 and 85286, from the blocks around our downtown shop to the master-planned communities in the south. The neighborhoods below are for reference, not a list of jobs.
Which locks should I rekey after moving in?
Every lock an old key could open: front and back doors, the door from the garage, side doors and any keyed gate.
Miss one and an old key still works there. The mailbox lock is worth adding too.
Can new locks be keyed to my existing key?
Often, yes, if the new lock uses the same keyway as your current locks.
Mixed brands may need a cylinder changed. A photo of your current keys or locks helps us check before we book.
Do you rekey rentals between tenants?
Yes. A rekey makes the last tenant’s keys stop working; worn or damaged locks are replaced instead.
With several units, each unit keeps its own key, so one tenant’s key never opens another unit.
What warranty do you provide?
One month full warranty, and after that, a year warranty through the manufacturer, just for the parts.
