Rekey Locks is the service Sherwood homeowners call Commodore Locksmith about most, and the reason is written into the town’s housing stock. Older homes near the historic downtown still carry original mortise locks and solid-wood doors that haven’t been rekeyed in decades, while the newer hilltop subdivisions are full of name-brand keypad deadbolts that get handed from builder to buyer with keys floating around somewhere unknown. Add in Willamette Valley rain that corrodes exterior cylinders, and a rekey becomes the fastest way to reset security without replacing hardware. Call (855) 473-5097 for a straight answer on what your Sherwood home needs.
Why Sherwood Homes Are Different
Sherwood changed fast. What was a small farming town is now an upscale bedroom community, and that transition created two very different lock profiles within the same 97140 ZIP code. Down near the historic downtown, you’ll find early-to-mid-1900s homes with solid-wood doors and original mortise locks. Those locks are often still functional but worn, and many have never been rekeyed because nobody thought to do it when the house changed hands. In the hills south of town, the story flips: large custom and tract homes with multi-point patio doors, keypad deadbolts, and HOA-mandated hardware that looks great on closing day but isn’t always installed to hold up against wet winters.
The climate is the other factor. Damp, rainy Willamette Valley winters cause exterior locks and deadbolts to corrode, stick, and seize far more than in drier climates. A lock that worked fine in September can be nearly impossible to turn by February. We see that pattern every year in Sherwood, and it drives both emergency calls and seasonal rekey requests. The town also has a limited commercial core, which means few storefront locksmiths are nearby. Mobile service is the norm here, and Sherwood homeowners have learned to expect a locksmith who arrives with parts on the truck rather than a shop they have to visit.

Our Main Sherwood Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Sherwood, and they cover both ends of the urgency spectrum: a car key problem when you’re stranded, and an emergency lockout when you can’t get into your home.
Car Key Replacement in Sherwood
Losing a car key in Sherwood often happens at the worst moment: in a driveway off a private drive, at the Fred Meyer lot off Highway 99W, or parked near the high school before pickup. Most vehicles built in the last decade need a programmed transponder key or fob, not just a cut blank. Commodore Locksmith works across consumer and high-security lock systems alike, and that same fluency carries over to automotive keys. We handle the programming on site, which means you don’t tow to a dealership. Read more on the dedicated page for Car Key Replacement in Sherwood.
Emergency Locksmith in Sherwood
Sherwood’s hilltop subdivisions create a specific emergency pattern: builder-grade smart locks and keypads fail after a few wet seasons, and because many homes sit on shared private drives with no visible unit numbers, a locksmith often has to call from the street just to find the right house. Commodore Locksmith is positioned for exactly that call, day or night. Locked out or dealing with a deadbolt that won’t turn after rain, you get a mobile response that arrives ready to fix or rekey on the spot. See what those calls involve at Emergency Locksmith in Sherwood.
Rekey Locks in Sherwood
Rekeying is the smartest security reset for a Sherwood home, whether you just bought a house in one of the new hillside subdivisions and don’t know who still has keys, or you’ve lived in an older downtown home for years and realize the last owner never changed the locks. Instead of replacing hardware that’s still solid, a rekey changes the internal pins so the old keys stop working and a new set takes over. It costs less than new hardware and takes under an hour for most homes. Commodore Locksmith has served Sherwood since 2012, and we do more of these jobs in a week than most locksmiths do in a month. Learn more on our Rekey Locks hub page.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve just moved into a home in Sherwood and no one can account for how many keys were handed out to contractors, cleaners, neighbors, or the previous owner’s family.
What it costs in Sherwood
Rekeying a single lock in Sherwood typically runs $20 to $60 per cylinder, with most homes having three to five exterior locks.
How we do it
We remove each lock cylinder, swap out the internal pins to match a new key, and have the old keys stop working on the spot.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
You have a key you don’t fully trust out there, whether it’s with an ex-tenant, a contractor who did work months ago, or a teenager who just moved out.
What it costs in Sherwood
Expect roughly $20 to $60 per door lock rekeyed in Sherwood, with multi-point patio doors priced on inspection because they take more time.
How we do it
We rekey the existing deadbolt or knob cylinder without changing the hardware, so the lock keeps its finish and the door keeps its fit.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
Your key ring has grown to five or six different keys for the same house, and you want one key to work every exterior door.
What it costs in Sherwood
Keyed-alike service in Sherwood follows standard rekey pricing at $20 to $60 per cylinder, so expect a four-door home to land within that range.
How we do it
We pin each lock cylinder to the same key, verify every lock turns smoothly, and hand you one key that works the whole house.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Sherwood
| Item | Typical range in Sherwood |
|---|---|
| Rekey per cylinder | $20 – $60 |
| Rekey multi-point patio door | Quoted on inspection |
| Keyed alike (per lock, 3+ locks) | $20 – $60 per cylinder |
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks in Sherwood?
Yes. Rekeying runs $20 to $60 per cylinder, while replacing a single quality deadbolt can run two to three times that before labor. If the hardware still functions, rekeying is almost always the better call.
How long does a Sherwood rekey take?
Most homes take under an hour from arrival to testing every door. Larger homes with multi-point patio doors or eight-plus locks may run closer to 90 minutes. Call (855) 473-5097 for an exact quote.
Brands We Service in Sherwood
Commodore Locksmith works on the brands Sherwood homes actually have, from builder-grade Schlage and Kwikset to Medeco and Mul-T-Lock for homeowners who want serious resistance to picking and drilling. Yale and Baldwin show up often in the newer custom homes on the hillsides, and we stock common parts and pins for those lines. That means most rekeys and repairs are done in one visit. See the full list on our brands page.

FAQs About Locksmith in Sherwood
Most Sherwood addresses get a mobile response inside an hour, often faster for lockouts near Highway 99W or the downtown core. Homes on shared private drives in the hills may take a few minutes longer because finding the right house can be the slowest part. Call (855) 473-5097 and we’ll give you a real arrival window.
No. Rekeying existing hardware doesn’t change anything visible from the street, and no Sherwood HOA we’ve encountered requires approval for rekeys, key changes, or deadbolt replacements. If an HOA does mandate a specific finish or brand, we work within that – most call for standard Schlage or Kwikset styles we stock.
Yes. Sherwood has both ends of the spectrum: early-1900s mortise locks near the historic downtown and newer keypad deadbolts in the hilltop subdivisions. Commodore Locksmith works on both, and on the high-security brands many Sherwood homeowners upgrade to.

What Sherwood Customers Say
"Programmed a transponder key for a 2014 model that the dealership wanted an absurd amount for. Same key, fraction of the price, took him twenty minutes in my driveway."
- Brian Quinn"The old deadbolt was mounted crooked by whoever lived here before and had been sticking for years. He redrilled and reset it properly rather than just replacing the hardware."
- Katie Schaefer"Locked out at eleven at night with a kid asleep in the car. He was there in 25 minutes, had the door open in under two, and did not do the thing where the price goes up once he's standing in front of you."
- Terrence Nash
