Most locksmith calls in Maplewood start with rekeying. A new homeowner takes possession of an older farmhouse off Banner Road, a family splits a household, a tenant moves out of a shop along Highway 16. The work almost always extends past one door, because Maplewood properties tend to have outbuildings, gates, and accessory structures that share the same key. Lodestar Locksmith has served Maplewood since 2012, and we carry hardware for everything from legacy mortise locks to current smart deadbolts. Call (855) 382-0943 when you need a lock changed, keyed alike, or rekeyed after a key goes missing.
Why Maplewood Homes Are Different
Maplewood sits in South Kitsap, a semi-rural pocket where homes spread across acreage and wooded lots. That changes what a locksmith’s day looks like. A typical Maplewood job is not one door at one address. It is a house, a detached shop or barn, a gate at the driveway, and sometimes a pump house or storage shed, all keyed to the same system. Urban locksmiths rarely see that scope. We plan for it.
The housing stock in ZIP 98359 spans older, remodeled farmhouses to newer custom builds, so door preparations vary widely. Some entry doors have been in place for decades with non-standard bores and worn hardware. Others are new construction with smart deadbolts and electronic keypads. A technician who only carries modern hardware cannot finish the older half of the job. We stock both.
The Pacific Northwest’s wet marine climate works against exterior hardware year-round. Rain, fog, and coastal moisture drive corrosion into lock cylinders, latch mechanisms, and gate hardware. It is common to find a deadbolt that works from inside but binds from outside because the cylinder has gummed up with oxidation. Winter storms compound the problem, knocking out power and jamming doors when moisture has already made them stiff. Maplewood locksmith work is equal parts access and repair, and the repair half is why experience matters.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Maplewood Services
Two services generate most of our Maplewood calls: car key replacement and emergency lockout response. Both are covered in detail on their own pages, linked below.
Car Key Replacement in Maplewood
Losing a car key on a Maplewood property is easy to do after a long day working outside, and it leaves you without transport at the worst possible time. We cut and program replacement keys for most vehicles, including transponder and fob keys, without sending you to a dealership. Distances in South Kitsap mean a dealership trip can eat an entire day. We handle the key on-site so you can get back on Highway 16. See Car Key Replacement in Maplewood for specifics on makes, models, and what to have ready.
Emergency Locksmith in Maplewood
Lockouts in Maplewood often happen at the gate, the shop, or the back door rather than the front, because properties here have so many access points. We respond to residential lockouts across the ZIP, including nights and weekends when a storm has knocked out power and a door has jammed shut. Our emergency service is built into the core model, not bolted on as a premium tier. Read Emergency Locksmith in Maplewood for response details and what to check before you call.

Rekey Locks in Maplewood
Rekeying in Maplewood is more than swapping a key. The area’s mix of older farmhouses and newer construction means many homes have doors and outbuildings of different ages, often with mismatched hardware from different brands. Rekeying gives every lock a fresh, secure key without replacing hardware that still works, and it lets a property owner key a house, shop, and gate alike. The wet climate also means cylinders wear faster here, so rekeying is often paired with cleaning and lubrication that extends hardware life. That is the service we provide through Rekey Locks, performed by technicians who work on eight lock brands, including Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You recently moved into a Maplewood property and cannot account for every key a previous owner, tenant, or contractor may still hold.
What it costs in Maplewood
A standard residential lock rekey in Maplewood typically runs $60 to $120 per cylinder, with most houses needing two to four cylinders.
How we do it
We disassemble the lock cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key, then reassemble and test the lock in place without changing the exterior hardware.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A single exterior door has a key floating around you don’t control, or a key has been lost and you want the lock changed without replacing the whole deadbolt.
What it costs in Maplewood
Rekeying one exterior door lock in Maplewood generally falls between $60 and $120, plus a service fee that covers travel within the ZIP.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, repin it to a new key, lubricate the moving parts, and reinstall it so the original key no longer turns and the new key works smoothly.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
Your Maplewood house, detached shop, and gate each need a different key, and you want a single key for every lock on the property.
What it costs in Maplewood
Keying multiple locks alike is priced per cylinder at $60 to $120 each, so a three-lock property with a house, shop, and gate typically totals $180 to $360.
How we do it
We repin each lock cylinder to the same key code, test the key in every lock, and leave the property with one key operating the house, outbuildings, and gates.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Maplewood
| Item | Typical range in Maplewood |
|---|---|
| Single lock rekey (one cylinder) | $60 – $120 |
| Full house rekey (3 – 4 cylinders) | $180 – $480 |
| Whole-property rekey with outbuildings and gates | $240 – $650 |
How long does rekeying take in Maplewood?
A single lock takes 15 to 20 minutes once our technician is on site. A whole Maplewood property with a house, shop, and gate usually runs 60 to 90 minutes, depending on hardware condition.
Can you rekey old locks or do they need replacing?
Most older locks can be rekeyed if the cylinder is intact. If corrosion from Maplewood’s wet climate has seized the internals, we tell you before starting and quote replacement options.

FAQs About Locksmith in Maplewood
Most Maplewood calls are reached in 45 to 60 minutes from dispatch. The area’s wooded roads and occasional storm debris can add time, and we tell you the estimated arrival when you call. Emergency lockout service is built into our model, not a premium add-on.
No. Rekeying and lock replacement are ordinary hardware work and do not require a permit anywhere in Maplewood or unincorporated Kitsap County. If you are replacing an entire door or altering the door frame, that is a different job and your contractor would handle permitting.

What Maplewood Customers Say
"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"Told me over the phone that what I needed was a five dollar part from the hardware store, not a locksmith. I called him back a month later for real work because of that."
— Megan Quinn
