Rekey locks in Irving is the service we handle most, and the city’s housing stock makes it more urgent than in a typical suburb. Most of Irving’s apartments and rental homes were built in the 1960s through 1980s, and many still run on builder-grade entry sets with worn pins and original master-key systems. Between tenant turnover near the DFW airport corridor and North Texas heat shifting door frames and strike plates out of alignment, a standard rekey here often includes latch work and strike adjustment that other markets never see. If you need new keys without replacing hardware, call (877) 626-0257 for an upfront quote from Stalwart Locksmith.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving sits directly in the DFW airport flight path, and that geography drives the locksmith trade here. The 75014, 75015, 75016, and 75017 ZIP codes ring a dense band of 1970s and 1980s apartment complexes and hotels where master-key and rekey work for property managers is a constant. Rental turnover means a unit changes hands every 12 to 18 months, and each new lease should trigger a rekey. Many of those older complexes still run builder master-key systems that need re-pinning rather than replacement, a job that requires matching existing cylinder formats instead of swapping hardware.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Single-family homes in 75060, 75061, and 75062 date largely to the same era, with original Kwikset or Schlage entry sets that have seen 40 years of Texas sun. North Texas heat and the region’s clay soil cause door frames to shift, which means strike plates and latches drift out of alignment. Summer service calls in Irving routinely mix rekeys with minor latch and strike adjustments because a new key is only useful if the bolt actually throws cleanly. Winter cold snaps, less common but real, occasionally freeze older exterior locks that have never been lubricated.
Las Colinas adds a different layer. The 75038 and 75039 corridor holds high-rise residential towers and office campuses that run modern electronic access control, panic bars, and restricted keyways. So the same city that needs a straightforward rekey in an 800-square-foot apartment off Story Road also needs Medeco cylinder work in a corporate suite off Highway 114. That range is exactly the tier Stalwart works across, from Kwikset to Abloy.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Irving Services
Two calls dominate our Irving dispatch: drivers who have lost a car key or fob, and renters or homeowners locked out of a unit or house. Each has its own dedicated page with detailed pricing and turnaround notes.
Car Key Replacement in Irving
Losing a car key near DFW Airport is a specific kind of problem: you are likely parked in a structure off Rental Car Drive or on a hotel lot along John Carpenter Freeway, and a dealership is not a quick detour. Stalwart handles car key replacement, transponder programming, and fob work on-site across Irving, so you do not have to tow the car. See full service details and pricing on our Car Key Replacement in Irving page.
Emergency Locksmith in Irving
A lockout in Irving happens in apartment breezeways off MacArthur Boulevard, hotel rooms near the airport, and ranch homes in the 75061 neighborhoods. The call is urgent: you are outside, the key is inside, and the Texas afternoon heat does not wait. Stalwart runs emergency response for exactly that scenario, with a mobile van routed from our Arlington base. See how we get you back in on our Emergency Locksmith in Irving page.

Rekey Locks in Irving
Rekey locks in Irving is more than a key swap. The city’s rental stock, dominated by 1970s and 1980s complexes near the airport corridor, turns over tenants constantly, and every turnover is a security gap if the property manager skips the reset. Older single-family homes in 75060, 75061, and 75062 add another variable: original builder-grade locks with decades of wear, which rekeying addresses without replacing the hardware. When summer heat shifts door frames, a rekey in Irving also includes realigning the latch and strike plate so the new key works cleanly. For full details on this core service, see our Rekey Locks page.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You have moved into a new home or apartment in Irving and cannot confirm who still holds a key to the existing locks.
What it costs in Irving
A standard lock rekey in Irving runs $75 to $160, depending on cylinder count and whether the lock is builder-grade or high-security hardware.
How we do it
We disassemble each lock cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key, and reassemble and test the mechanism so the old key no longer turns.
Locksmith Rekey
Signs you need it
A key you once handed out, to a contractor, cleaner, or former roommate, still works in your door and you have lost track of how many copies exist.
What it costs in Irving
A locksmith rekey service call in Irving typically ranges $65 to $180, including parts and labor for two to four cylinders on a standard home.
How we do it
Our locksmith rekeys the cylinder to a new biting, cuts the matched keys on-site, and confirms every existing key outside the new set is neutralized.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
Your entry lock is mechanically fine but the key has become difficult to turn, or you want one key to operate multiple doors.
What it costs in Irving
Rekeying a single door lock in Irving averages $60 to $150, with the higher end reflecting Baldwin or Medeco cylinders that require specialized pins.
How we do it
We re-pin the cylinder to match a new or existing key, then adjust the latch and strike alignment if the Irving clay soil has shifted the door frame.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Single lock rekey | $60 – $150 |
| Whole-home rekey (2 – 4 cylinders) | $75 – $180 |
| High-security cylinder rekey (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) | $25 – $45 per cylinder additional |
The final number depends on how many cylinders you are resetting and whether any hardware is Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or Abloy, which use restricted keyways and cost more to re-pin. Stalwart quotes the full price on the phone before we dispatch anyone to Irving, and that is the price on the invoice.
How long does a rekey take in Irving?
Most Irving rekeys take 30 to 60 minutes. A three-bedroom home with two entry locks and a deadbolt typically runs under an hour, while a full rental unit master-key reset can take 90 minutes. Call (877) 626-0257 to schedule.
Can you rekey locks on a rental property in Irving between tenants?
Yes. Property managers across the airport corridor use us specifically for turnover rekeys because we re-pin builder master-key systems without replacing the hardware. We invoice the property directly and can key multiple units to a new master. Call (877) 626-0257 for a per-unit quote.
Brands We Service in Irving
Stalwart carries pins, cylinders, and parts for Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and Yale in our mobile vans. That means most Irving rekeys and hardware swaps happen in one visit. High-security Medeco and Abloy work often takes a second trip for keyed-alike cylinders, but we confirm the timeline before we start. See our brands for the full roster.

Two things push prices higher in Irving: the age of the hardware. A 1970s apartment lock with a corroded cylinder takes longer to re-pin than a fresh Schlage, and clay-soil frame shift regularly adds latch adjustment time to what looked like a simple rekey. What does not push the price up is a surprise surcharge: Stalwart quotes the full price on the phone before dispatch, and that is the number on your invoice.

— Danielle Mercer"Rekeyed every lock in the house the day after we closed. Six doors, all matched to one key, done in about ninety minutes."
— Eric Tran"Rekey was done properly. One of the keys he cut was slightly stiff in the back door and I had to call him to swap it, which he did without a fuss."
