Rekey Locks is the service Duvall homeowners call Lodestar for most often, and it usually costs between $120 and $340 depending on how many locks you need done and the brand. Duvall’s mix of century-old farmhouses and 1990s subdivisions means we see everything from original mortise locks to newer Kwikset smart-key hardware on the same street. Call (855) 382-0943 when you need a clear price, not a surprise.
Why Duvall Homes Are Different
Duvall sits in the Snoqualmie River valley, where the persistent Pacific Northwest rain does more to locks than any intruder ever will. Wooden door frames swell through wet winters, which throws deadbolts and latch plates out of alignment. By October, we’re fielding calls from homeowners whose front doors won’t throw the bolt without a hard shoulder. That same moisture rusts padlocks and hasps on outbuildings solid within a season or two, especially on the larger lots along the river corridor where detached shops and equipment sheds are common.
The housing stock compounds the puzzle. Downtown Duvall still has early-1900s craftsman homes with original mortise locks that big-box replacement hardware doesn’t fit without real carpentry. A half-mile out, you’ll find planned subdivisions where every front door has a different generation of Kwikset or Schlage hardware. And on the acreage, custom homes often mix high-security brands like Medeco on the main house with cheap padlocks on gates and barns. We stock parts for the full range because in Duvall, the range shows up on one property.

Our Main Duvall Services
These are the two calls Duvall homeowners make most when a key stops working or disappears entirely.
Car Key Replacement in Duvall
Lost car keys hit differently in Duvall than they do in the city. There’s no rideshare to fall back on, the nearest dealer is a drive over the valley, and a car sitting unlocked in a rural driveway is a different kind of risk. We cut and program replacement keys on-site for most makes, including transponder and fob systems. Car Key Replacement in Duvall covers what we bring, what it costs, and how long it takes on a Duvall roadside or driveway.
Emergency Locksmith in Duvall
A lockout on a wet Duvall night is a lousy place to wait. We respond to lockouts across the valley with a stocked van and the tools to get you back in without wrecking your door frame. That matters when you’re standing outside in January rain and the nearest open business is ten minutes away. Emergency Locksmith in Duvall details response times, what we’ll ask you on the phone, and the upfront price policy.

Rekey Locks in Duvall
Rekeying is the smartest security move most Duvall homeowners can make after closing on a house, losing a key, or ending a rental turnover. It changes the lock’s internal pins so old keys stop working while the hardware stays in place. On Duvall’s older homes, that means keeping a solid mortise lock that would cost hundreds to replace with something that fits. Rekey Locks is the service we recommend for anyone who wants fresh security without new hardware.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You just bought a Duvall home, lost track of who has a copy, or had a relationship end with keys still out.
What it costs in Duvall
Rekeying a standard residential lock in Duvall typically runs $120 to $340 for one or two cylinders, depending on brand and whether we come to you or you bring the lock in.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, swap the pins to match a new key, and test the lock through full cycles before we leave.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
Your front door, back door, and shed each need a different key and you’d rather carry one.
What it costs in Duvall
Keying multiple locks alike in Duvall runs $15 to $35 per cylinder on top of the base rekey, depending on brand and keyway.
How we do it
We repin each cylinder to a single cut so every lock on the property turns on one key while old keys go dead.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Duvall
| Item | Typical range in Duvall |
|---|---|
| Rekey a standard residential lock | $120 – $340 |
| Per-cylinder charge for additional locks | $15 – $35 each |
| High-security rekey (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) | $35 – $65 per cylinder |
How long does a rekey take in Duvall?
Most Duvall rekey jobs finish in 30 to 60 minutes on-site. Larger properties with multiple outbuildings or high-security cylinders take longer, and we quote that on the phone.
Can you rekey older locks on Duvall’s farmhouses?
Yes. We rekey original mortise locks and older Schlage deadbolts as often as we do modern Kwikset hardware. Some pre-1950s cylinders need a rebuild, and we’ll tell you before touching anything.

We work across the brands Duvall homes actually have installed: Schlage and Kwikset on subdivision doors, Medeco and Abloy on custom homes and commercial outbuildings. Parts for these lines ride in our vans, so most jobs finish in one visit. See our brands for the full roster and what each line means for your security.

What Duvall Customers Say
"Rekeyed every lock in the house the day after we closed. Six doors, all matched to one key, done in about ninety minutes."
— Todd Mercer"Got me back in and the price was fair for the hour. He did arrive closer to 45 minutes than the 20 he estimated, which felt long standing outside, but he was honest that traffic was the problem."
— Roger Thompson"Commercial job, panic bar and a master key system for a small office. Clean install and clear documentation of which key opens what."
— Daniela Salazar
