Rekey Locks is the job we handle most in Landover, and it is rarely a simple swap. The zip code 20784 is filled with 1960s and 1970s brick garden apartments and modest single-family homes, many still running original mortise or early cylindrical locksets. Landlords along Landover Road and Annapolis Road need fast, documented rekeys between tenants, and renters need a working lock the day they sign a lease. Coral Locksmith has served Landover since 2018, and we carry cylinders keyed to Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, and Baldwin so one trip usually finishes the job. Call (855) 382-1343 when a key changes hands and the lock has to change with it.
Why Landover Homes Are Different
Landover’s housing stock shapes the kind of locksmith work we do every week. The dominant buildings are mid-century brick garden apartment complexes and small brick-and-frame single-family homes built between the 1950s and the 1970s. Many of those doors still carry original mortise locksets or early cylindrical locks with builder-grade KW1 and SC1 keyways. Those keyways wear unevenly. A key that worked for a decade starts sticking, then stops turning entirely, usually at the worst possible time. The hollow-metal entry doors common in Landover apartment buildings hold up well, but the cheap locks installed on them forty or fifty years ago do not.
The climate works against those old locks, too. DC-area freeze-thaw cycles make exterior locksets seize and corrode. Humid summers swell wooden door slabs just enough that deadbolts stop lining up with the strike plate. We spend a lot of spring and late-summer calls in Landover adjusting misaligned deadbolts and replacing lock bodies that froze solid over winter, not because the hardware is complicated but because the weather here is hard on it.
There is also a landlord-shaped reality to Landover locksmith work. This is a rental-heavy, majority-renter suburb, and a huge share of our calls come from property managers and owners rotating tenants in garden apartments along the Landover Road corridor. Apartment-complex managers often require master-keyed rekeys on turnover, which means we routinely carry master-key and primus-capable cylinders and provide rekey documentation proving the previous tenant’s keys no longer work. That is not a service every locksmith offers, and it is one reason property managers in Landover call us directly.
One more thing: Landover homes are not generally high-security out of the box. Most doors here were built for basic Schlage and Kwikset hardware, so we spend more time upgrading people from worn builder-grade locks than we do troubleshooting exotic systems. When a homeowner asks for something better, we can move them to Baldwin or Medeco without changing the door prep.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Landover Services
While rekeying is the core of our Landover work, we also handle two service lines that homeowners and drivers in 20784 call for regularly. Here is what each one involves around here.
Car Key Replacement in Landover
Drivers in Landover lose or break car keys just like everyone else, but the difference is what happens next. A dealership quote for a modern transponder key can run hundreds of dollars and mean waiting days for an appointment. We handle car key replacement directly, programming keys for most makes without the dealership markup. For anyone living near the Landover Road or Annapolis Road corridors, that means getting back into a vehicle and back on the road the same day, usually without a tow. See the full breakdown at Car Key Replacement in Landover.
Emergency Locksmith in Landover
Lockouts here lean heavily toward apartment units and older single-family homes, and the weather makes some of them urgent in a way other cities do not see. A frozen lock in January or a swollen door in July is not something to sleep on. Our emergency locksmith service covers residential, commercial, and automotive callouts, and we arrive ready to open the lock without wrecking the door or the hardware. We have served Landover since 2018, and we know these doors. Full details are on the Emergency Locksmith in Landover page.

Rekey Locks in Landover
Rekeying in Landover changes the pins inside an existing lock so old keys stop working and a new key takes over. In a rental-heavy area like 20784, that is usually the most cost-effective way to secure a unit after a move-out, a notice, or a lost key. Landlords here rarely need to replace a perfectly usable lockset, and renters rarely want to pay for one. Coral Locksmith has served Landover since 2018, and the rekey work we do here reflects what the housing stock demands: worn KW1 and SC1 cylinders in 1960s and 1970s doors, master-key systems for apartment complexes, and documentation that proves the rekey actually happened. Our full Rekey Locks service walks through every scenario in detail.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You have a key from a previous tenant, a house you just bought, or a key that has been copied so many times you are not sure who holds one.
What it costs in Landover
A standard cylinder rekey in Landover typically runs $18 to $30 per lock, which is almost always cheaper than replacing the hardware.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, swap the pins to match the new key, and reinstall it so the old key turns dead in the lock.
Locksmith Rekey
Signs you need it
You have moved into a Landover home or apartment and cannot verify how many copies of the current key are floating around.
What it costs in Landover
Expect $18 to $30 per lock, plus a service call and labor, with the full price quoted on the phone before anyone is dispatched.
How we do it
We verify the keyway, pin all keyed-alike cylinders to the same new key, and hand you every working key before we leave.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A tenant moved out, a roommate left, or a key went missing, and the door still physically locks fine but the key control is gone.
What it costs in Landover
For a single door, the cylinder rekey is $18 to $30, and a full trip in Landover lands between $75 and $159 after labor and the service call.
How we do it
We re-pin the existing cylinder on-site, test the new key against the deadbolt and knob, and confirm the old key no longer works.
Rekey Service
Signs you need it
You manage a rental in 20784 and need a documented rekey between tenants so there is a clear record that keys changed hands.

Most rekey service calls in Landover run $75 to $159 total for one door, with each additional cylinder at $18 to $30.
How we do it
We re-pin every lock on the key ring, hand you the new keys, and provide written confirmation of which locks were rekeyed and when.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You carry a ring of keys for one Landover property and would rather open the front door, back door, and storage room with a single key.
What it costs in Landover
Keying locks alike costs the same per cylinder as any rekey, $18 to $30 each, and we can match everything to one key.
How we do it
We pin all chosen cylinders to the same cuts so one key operates every lock without weakening any of them.
