Professional Lock Replacement for Your Home or Business
Lock replacement involves removing an existing lock and installing new hardware in its place. Unlike rekeying, which changes the internal components so the lock works with a new key, replacement gives you an entirely new lock. It may be the better choice when the existing hardware is damaged, worn out, outdated, or no longer provides the level of security you want.
There are also times when replacing a functioning lock makes sense. Moving into a property, recovering from a break-in, upgrading your security, or switching to a different type of lock can all be good reasons to start fresh with new hardware.
Ilan Lock & Key is a lock replacement service expert for both residential and commercial properties in Portland and the surrounding areas. We can evaluate your existing hardware and help determine whether replacement, repair, or rekeying makes the most sense for your situation.

Signs You May Need Lock Replacement
Not every lock problem requires new hardware. Some locks can be repaired or rekeyed, while others are better candidates for replacement. Here are some of the most common reasons to consider a professional lock replacement service.
Your Lock Is Damaged or Worn Out
Locks experience wear every time they are used. If a lock is sticking, loose, corroded, visibly damaged, or becoming increasingly difficult to operate, replacing it may provide a more dependable long-term solution than continuing to repair aging hardware.
Your Keys Were Lost or Stolen
Losing a key creates uncertainty about who may have access to your property. Rekeying may be sufficient when the existing lock is in good condition, but replacement may make more sense if you also have concerns about the lock itself or want to upgrade your security at the same time.
You Recently Moved Into a New Property
When you move into a home or commercial space, it can be difficult to know exactly how many copies of the old keys are still in circulation. Former owners, tenants, contractors, employees, or service providers may have had access at some point. Replacing or rekeying the locks gives you control over who can enter going forward.
Your Locks No Longer Meet Your Security Needs
An older lock may still function while falling short of what you want from your property’s security. Replacing outdated hardware allows you to choose a stronger deadbolt, a more secure locking system, or modern keyless hardware that better fits the way you use the property.
There Has Been a Break-In or Attempted Break-In
Forced entry can damage the lock, cylinder, or surrounding hardware even if the door still appears to lock afterward. A locksmith can assess the damage and replace compromised hardware when necessary to help secure the property again.
Repair or Rekeying Is Not the Best Option
Rekeying changes which key operates a lock, but it does not correct worn, broken, or inadequate hardware. Likewise, repeated repairs may stop making sense as a lock ages. When the existing hardware itself is the problem, replacing the lock may be the more practical solution.

Lock Replacement FAQs
How much should it cost to get a lock replaced?
The cost of replacing a lock varies based on the:
- Type of lock
- Replacement hardware you choose
- Number of locks being replaced
- Complexity of the installation
Commercial, electronic, and high-security hardware may also cost more than a standard residential lock. Ilan Lock & Key can provide an estimate based on the specifics of your service so you know what to expect before work begins.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?
Rekeying is often less expensive because you keep the existing lock hardware and change the internal components so old keys no longer work. If your current locks are in good condition and you simply need to change who has access, rekeying may be enough. If a lock is damaged, outdated, or you want different hardware, replacement may be the better investment.
How long does it take to replace a lock?
Many standard lock replacements can be completed during a single service visit. The exact time depends on the lock type, the condition of the door and existing hardware, and how many locks need to be replaced. More complex commercial or electronic installations can take longer.
Should I replace my locks when I move into a new home?
It’s a good idea to either replace or rekey the locks after moving into a new home. Even if the previous owner gives you all known keys, there is no way to be certain additional copies weren’t made. A locksmith can help you determine whether your existing locks are worth keeping and rekeying or whether replacement makes more sense.
Can a locksmith replace different types of locks?
Professional locksmiths can work with many common residential and commercial lock types, including deadbolts, knobs, levers, electronic locks, and other door hardware. The right replacement depends on the existing door, hardware configuration, and your security needs, so an on-site assessment can help determine your options.
