Lock Rekeying ยท Orem, Utah
Lock rekeying in Orem is how you make sure the last tenant, the previous owner, or a lost key ring can't open your door anymore. We come to you, re-pin the locks you already have to a new key, and can set every door in the house or unit to that one key in the same visit.
Orem is a college town without dorms. Utah Valley University enrolled a record 48,670 students in fall 2025, and the university itself says it has never had on-campus housing, so students live in apartments and rented houses across the city. Census data shows 42.2% of Orem's occupied homes are rented. Every lease that ends in April or August sends keys out the door, and a returned key says nothing about the copies made along the way.
Orem's housing is also older than its neighbors'. The median home was built in 1989, and the 1970s were the city's biggest building decade. Some tract homes go back further: the Christeele Acres historic district near State Street and 900 South was built in 1943 for Geneva Steel workers. Homes that have changed hands several times tend to collect a mix of lock brands, so part of our job in Orem is telling you which cylinders can share one key and which one needs to be swapped first.
Newer multifamily projects, like the apartments at the University Place redevelopment, bring the opposite problem: hundreds of units, frequent move-outs, and property managers who need units rekeyed quickly between tenants.
We check that you own the home or have the landlord's authorization, then pull each cylinder, replace the key pins to match a new key, clean and lubricate the plug, and test every key with the door closed. Deadbolts, knobs, levers, garage entry doors, and back doors can all be keyed alike when the brands match. Each job comes with two new keys, and more can be cut on site.
For a closer look at how rekeying works, what it costs nationally, and when replacing a lock makes more sense, see our main lock rekeying service page. Property managers with several units can call ahead, and our Provo locksmith team will plan the route so the whole building is done in one trip.
Why Choose Us
5.3 mi
Our office on University Avenue in Provo is about 5.3 miles from Orem City Center by Freedom Boulevard, University Parkway, and State Street, roughly a 10-minute drive without traffic. That keeps an Orem rekey practical even on short notice.
0
In a city where 4 in 10 homes are rented, we confirm that the person asking is the owner or has the landlord's written OK before any lock is changed. It protects tenants from being locked out and landlords from unauthorized changes.
24/7
A roommate moves out on a Sunday, or you find out at night that keys went missing. We answer around the clock, so your Orem locks can be changed that day instead of after a weekend of wondering who still has a copy.
Our Promise
Locksmithing runs on trust. These are the commitments you can hold us to on every call, from a 2 a.m. lockout to a full office rekey.
We quote on the phone, then confirm the total on site before any work begins. If the job turns out to be different than described, you approve the new number before we continue.
We confirm you live at the address or own the vehicle before we open anything. It takes about a minute, and it is the same check that protects your home from someone else claiming to be you.
We pick, bypass, or decode before we ever consider drilling. If a lock truly has to be drilled, we explain why and get your OK first, and we can replace it on the spot.
Nights, weekends, and holidays use the same phone number. You get a person, a price, and an arrival estimate, not a voicemail box.
FAQ
Only with the landlord's authorization, unless a specific legal right applies. Utah Code 57-22-5.1 lets renters who are crime victims, with a protective order or police report, require a rekey or new lock at their own cost. Otherwise, ask your landlord, and we can work with them directly.
Usually, yes. Most standard Kwikset and Schlage cylinders, even older ones, can be re-pinned. If your doors have mixed brands, we can tell you which ones can share a key and replace any cylinder that can't be rekeyed to match.
Yes. Tell us how many units and locks, and we will quote the job and schedule it so the units are rekeyed in one trip, with keys labeled by unit.
