Cost Guide · Texas

If you've just moved into a new home, lost a key, or had a roommate situation change, rekeying your locks is one of the smartest (and most affordable) security upgrades you can make. But how much does it actually cost in Texas?

Here's a straightforward breakdown based on what we charge and what's typical in the Dallas-Fort Worth markets.

Average Rekeying Costs in Texas (2026)

Most Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners pay between $100 and $175 to have a full house rekeyed (3-5 doors), including the service call.

What Factors Affect the Price?

• Number of locks, More locks means more time and more pins. Most locksmiths charge per lock after the service call.
• Lock brand and type, Standard Kwikset and Schlage locks are the easiest and cheapest to rekey. High-security locks (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) take longer and cost more.
• Time of day, Some locksmiths charge a premium for after-hours calls. We don't.
• Your location, Urban Dallas-Fort Worth are typically priced similarly. Rural areas may have a higher trip charge.
• Number of keys needed, Additional key copies are typically $3-$8 each.

Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks, Which Should You Choose?

Rekey if: Your lock hardware is in good condition and you just want to change who has access. Rekeying is faster, cheaper, and just as secure as a full replacement.

Replace if: Your lock is damaged, worn out, or you want to upgrade to a higher security grade or smart lock. Replacement makes sense when the hardware itself is the problem.

For most Texas homeowners who just moved in or lost a key, rekeying is the right call, you'll spend 50-70% less than you would on new locks.
