Rekeying locks in Tualatin usually costs between $95 and $160 for a standard residential job, and it’s the smartest first move when you’ve moved into one of the city’s 1970s-era homes still running original brass hardware. Commodore Locksmith handles rekeying across every housing type in 97062, from Fox Hills ranches to the townhome clusters near I-5. Call (855) 473-5097 when you need a lock that works like new without replacing the whole thing.
Why Tualatin Homes Are Different
Tualatin’s housing stock splits into two worlds. The older side is 1970s and 1980s suburban subdivision homes along streets like Sagert and Boones Ferry, where original brass deadbolts have spent forty years accumulating worn pins and tired springs. The newer side is the dense multifamily and townhome development that followed the I-5 corridor, where builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage sets fail at the cylinder long before the hardware looks worn.
The Willamette Valley’s damp marine climate adds another layer. Winter rain and high humidity work their way into lock cylinders, causing corrosion that makes keys stick and eventually seize. Wooden doors in the older subdivisions swell through the rainy months, pushing deadbolts out of alignment with the strike plate until they jam. We see this pattern repeat every November across Fox Hills and the Sherwood-Tualatin Road corridor. A locksmith working Tualatin needs to understand both the aging hardware and the seasonal swelling that attacks it.

Our Main Tualatin Services
While rekeying is the foundation of what we do in Tualatin, two other services keep our phones ringing from 97062 residents. Here’s what each one looks like on the ground here.
Car Key Replacement in Tualatin
Losing a car key in Tualatin hits differently than it does in drier cities east of the Cascades. The same humidity that corrodes door locks works on automotive ignition cylinders, and we regularly see vehicles where a worn key has quietly damaged the tumblers before the owner ever noticed a problem. When you need a new key cut and programmed, we come to your vehicle, whether it’s parked at the Tualatin Commons or in a driveway off Martinazzi Avenue. Our work covers a range of makes, and we arrive with the programming equipment on board. For the full scope of what we handle, see Car Key Replacement in Tualatin.
Emergency Locksmith in Tualatin
A lockout at midnight in Tualatin doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Emergency calls here often come from apartment and townhome residents near the Tualatin WES station or from homeowners who’ve locked themselves out after a rainy commute home. We carry tools and hardware for the lock brands found across the city, from older Baldwin sets in single-family homes to standard Schlage and Kwikset cylinders in newer builds. When you’re locked out, the job is getting you back inside without damaging the door or the lock. Read more about how we handle urgent calls at Emergency Locksmith in Tualatin.
Rekey Locks in Tualatin
Rekeying in Tualatin is frequently the better move than replacing hardware outright. When older brass deadbolts in a 1970s home still function mechanically, swapping the internal pins gives you fresh key control for a fraction of the cost, and when humid winters have gummed up a cylinder, a clean rekey often restores smooth operation we thought was gone. For a deeper dive, see our full Rekey Locks service page.

Expect $95 to $160 per lock for standard residential hardware in Tualatin.
How we do it
We disassemble the cylinder, replace the pins and springs to match a new key, and reassemble the lock with fresh lubrication.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You’re carrying four different keys for one property and want a single key for the front, back, and garage.

What Rekey Locks Costs in Tualatin
| Item | Typical range in Tualatin |
|---|---|
| Standard residential rekey (per lock) | $95 – $160 |
| Keyed alike (per additional cylinder) | $20 – $35 |
| High-security rekey (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) | $25 – $50 per cylinder |
How long does a rekey take in Tualatin?
Most residential rekeys in Tualatin finish within 30 to 45 minutes for three or four locks. High-security cylinders from Medeco or Mul-T-Lock add time because of their tighter tolerances and restricted keyways.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks in Tualatin?
Yes. A rekey typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than replacing the same hardware, which matters when you’re resetting security across several exterior doors in one of Tualatin’s older homes.
Brands We Service in Tualatin
We work across the full spectrum, from Kwikset and Schlage in builder-grade townhomes to Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Baldwin in higher-security or upscale settings. Parts for consumer brands are stocked on our service vehicles, and high-security cylinders are ordered with a short turnaround. Commodore Locksmith is comfortable with the brands most shops refer out. See our brands for the full list.
