Commercial Rekeys

Secure Your Property After Personnel Changes

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 rekeys offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings in Albuquerque to restore control over who holds working keys.

An employee leaves your business in Albuquerque and you cannot confirm whether they returned all their keys. A contractor finishes a project and still has access to your back door. Keys get copied and passed around until you lose track of how many people can unlock your building. Replacing every lock is expensive and disruptive, but continuing to operate with unaccounted keys puts your inventory, equipment, and sensitive information at risk.

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 rekeys your existing locks so that old keys no longer work and you regain full control over access. We disassemble each lock cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key pattern, and reassemble the hardware without removing it from the door. This process works with most commercial-grade locks and allows you to secure your property in Albuquerque without replacing functioning hardware or dealing with insurance billing delays.

If your business needs to rekey after employee turnover or access control changes, contact Lock Around the Clock 24/7 to schedule service in Albuquerque.

What Changes After Your Locks Are Rekeyed

We arrive at your office or retail space in Albuquerque with rekeying tools, replacement pins, and blank keys. Each lock is removed from the cylinder housing, the old pins are taken out, and new pins are installed to match a different key pattern. Once reassembled, the lock operates exactly as it did before, but only the new keys will turn the cylinder.

After rekeying is complete, every old key becomes useless. You receive a fresh set of keys, and you decide who gets copies. If you manage multiple entry points, we can set up a master key system so that certain keys open specific doors while a master key opens everything. Your locks stay in place, your doors remain functional, and your security is restored without the cost of new hardware.

Rekeying is faster and more affordable than lock replacement when the existing hardware is still in good condition. If a lock is damaged, worn out, or incompatible with rekeying, we will recommend replacement. Lock Around the Clock 24/7 offers both scheduled and emergency service, and we do not bill through insurance, which means you pay directly and avoid approval delays.

Here is what business owners usually ask first

Most commercial property managers want to know how rekeying affects their daily operations and whether their existing locks are compatible. These are the questions we answer most often before starting the work.

How long does it take to rekey a commercial building?
A small office with a few doors can be rekeyed in under an hour. Larger buildings with multiple entry points take longer depending on the number of locks and whether you want a master key system installed.
Can you rekey locks from different manufacturers?
Most commercial-grade locks can be rekeyed, but some proprietary or high-security cylinders require specific tools or replacement. Lock Around the Clock 24/7 will confirm compatibility when you schedule service in Albuquerque.
What is a master key system?
A master key system allows you to use one key to open all locks while giving employees individual keys that only open specific doors. This setup is common in offices, schools, and retail buildings where access needs to vary by role.
Will rekeying damage my doors or hardware?
No. Rekeying only affects the internal pins inside the lock cylinder. The door, frame, and lock housing remain untouched, and the lock continues to function normally after the new pins are installed.
What happens if I lose a key after rekeying?
You can have duplicates made from any of the new keys, or you can contact Lock Around the Clock 24/7 to cut additional copies. If you want to prevent unauthorized duplication, we can install high-security locks that require authorization to copy.
