Rekey Service

Whether you've just moved into a new home, or simply misplaced a house key or two over the years, you'll want to consider rekeying your home. Our Rekey Service makes it easy. Simply place a service request online and a locksmith will rekey up to six keyholes with four identical keys for a fee.

Rekey services are offered by Frontdoor Pro and performed by a Frontdoor Pro independent contractor. For Frontdoor Pro license numbers, please visit Frontdoor Pro licensing information. Please note that the locksmith must have one current key for the service fee amount. If the member is missing all keys, an additional fee may apply.
