Why Rekey Instead of Replace?
Rekeying means a licensed locksmith adjusts the internal pins inside your lock cylinder so it works with a brand-new key. Your old key becomes useless instantly. It’s the fastest, most affordable way to take back control of who has access to your property—while keeping your current lock hardware intact.
When should you rekey?
- Moved into a new home or apartment in Buffalo, NY
- Lost or stolen keys
- Tenant or roommate turnover
- Employee or contractor left with a key
- Bought a previously owned business

Rekey vs. Change Locks: Which Do You Need?
- Rekey – We reset your existing lock to a new key. Faster and cheaper. Best when your locks are in good working condition.
- Change lock combination / replace locks – We install brand-new hardware. Best when locks are damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to a keyless entry system or high-security deadbolt.
Not sure which option fits? Our Buffalo locksmiths will inspect your locks on-site and recommend the most honest, affordable solution. No job too small or too big.
Why a Real Storefront Matters
Heritage Locksmith has a storefront and mobile service—and the importance of a physical address is crucial. Why are we saying that? Because we find a lot of people around Buffalo who get hit by a locksmith scam. It’s very easy to run a locksmith scam when you don’t possess a store: with a prepaid credit card and prepaid cellphone, a fake “locksmith” can grab the first spot on Google within a week.
On the other hand, businesses with an actual address can be tracked easily. When you search Google for “Locksmith Near Me,” check whether the website you landed on is clear enough about its storefront location. Otherwise, you might fall into another scammer’s hands. Heritage Locksmith has been a verified, traceable Buffalo business since 2007.
