New Keys. Same Lock. Total Control.

Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your lock cylinder so that only the new keys you receive will work. Every previous key — whether lost, stolen, or simply unaccounted for — becomes permanently useless.

It's a fraction of the cost of replacing your locks, takes less time, and delivers the same peace of mind. Our technicians carry the tools and key blanks to rekey most residential and commercial locks on the spot — no waiting, no return visits.

Whether you need a residential locksmith for your home or a commercial solution for your business, our team also handles stuck key removal before rekeying when a broken or jammed key is preventing access to the lock cylinder.

We provide residential lock rekey for houses, townhomes, apartments, and condos across Ottawa — open now, 24 hours a day. If you need to rekey a lock after moving into a new home, after losing a key, or after a tenant moves out, our top rated technicians come to you and complete the job on the spot. Condo lock re-key is equally straightforward — we rekey locks on unit doors and building entrances with no disruption to your day.

Commercial lock rekey is one of our most common business calls. When employees leave or access control needs to change, rekeying re-key locks is the fastest and most cost-effective solution — no new hardware, no downtime. We also offer rekey RV lock service for motorhomes and travel trailers. Whatever the property type, 24 Hr Lockouts Inc. is Ottawa's top rated rekeying service — open now and ready to rekey locks for you today.

Master Key Systems Ottawa

Rekeying is the foundation of any master key system. We design and install master key systems for property managers, landlords, and business owners across Ottawa — giving you one master key that opens all doors while individual tenants or staff retain their own keys. Master keying is the most cost-effective way to control access across multiple units or offices without electronic systems. Whether you manage a four-unit residential building, a commercial office floor, or a mixed-use development, we assess your property and design a master key hierarchy that fits your access needs exactly.

Master key systems can be expanded over time — adding new doors, creating sub-master levels for department heads or floor managers, or integrating with high-security restricted keyways that prevent unauthorized key duplication. We handle the full design, pinning, and installation on-site. Same-day master key system service is often available across Ottawa.

Lock Repinning Ottawa

Lock repinning is closely related to rekeying — it involves replacing the internal pin tumblers in a lock cylinder to restore function or reconfigure the lock for a new key. Repinning is the right call when a lock is stiff, worn, or intermittently failing — the cylinder is salvageable but the pins need to be replaced. We perform lock repinning on-site for deadbolts, knob locks, lever sets, and padlocks across Ottawa. If your lock is worn, stiff, or needs to be reconfigured, repinning is often the most affordable solution short of full cylinder replacement.
