Rekeying locks is the service Mantua homeowners call us for most, and the reason is simple: this is a settled neighborhood of 1950s-through-1980s single-family homes where people stay put for decades. When they do move, the new owners want every exterior lock changed over before the moving truck unloads. At Coral Locksmith, we rekey Schlage and Kwikset cylinders in Mantua every week, usually on the same day you call. Reach us at (855) 382-1343 for a free rekey estimate.
Why Mantua Homes Are Different
Mantua sits just inside the Beltway near the Fairfax/Vienna line, and most of the housing stock was built between the 1950s and the 1980s. That means standard 1-3/4-inch wood or steel entry doors with original builder-grade knob locks, often paired with deadbolts added during a remodel years later. The result is mixed hardware: a 1970s Kwikset knob, a newer Schlage deadbolt, maybe a Baldwin handleset on the front door. Rekeying here is rarely a one-cylinder job; it’s matching cylinder types and finishes across doors that have accumulated hardware over three or four decades.
Northern Virginia’s climate does its own number on those doors. Humid summers swell the wood slabs, and freeze-thaw winters contract them, so a deadbolt that threw cleanly in October may stick by July. We regularly arrive in Mantua to find the lock itself is fine but the door has shifted in the frame. The misalignment has to be corrected before a rekeyed cylinder will operate smoothly. We handle that adjustment as part of the job rather than handing you a lock that still binds.
Mantua’s tight, tree-lined streets and shared driveways also shape how we schedule. Technicians avoid the school-bus and commuter rush windows along the Beltway-adjacent corridors, which keeps a 15-minute drive from becoming a 40-minute one. For lockouts and rekeys, we aim our Mantua arrivals for mid-morning or early afternoon when the roads are calm.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Mantua Services
Two services dominate our Mantua call log. The first is car key replacement for drivers who have lost or broken a key and do not want to pay dealership prices. The second is emergency lockout response for families and commuters locked out at the worst possible time.
Car Key Replacement in Mantua
Mantua’s commuter-heavy households often keep two cars, and when a key disappears between the house and the driveway, the day stops. We cut and program replacement keys and fobs for most makes at a fraction of dealership cost, and we come to your address in Mantua so the car never has to be towed. Read the full details on our Car Key Replacement in Mantua page, including what to have ready when you call.
Emergency Locksmith in Mantua
Locked out of the house on a humid July afternoon, or standing in the driveway at 6 a.m. with the front door key snapped in the deadbolt? Our emergency coverage in Mantua prioritizes these calls because we know the neighborhood: original wood doors, older hardware, and a schedule that punishes delay. See the full emergency scope on our Emergency Locksmith in Mantua page.

Rekey Locks in Mantua
Rekeying in Mantua is typically a move-in service, a tenant-turnover service for the neighborhood’s occasional rentals, or a security reset after keys go missing. Because so many Mantua homes have original doors with added-on deadbolts, the work usually means rekeying two or three cylinders to one key, and often adjusting a swollen door frame so the freshly keyed deadbolt seats properly. That’s exactly what our Rekey Locks service handles, and we key every exterior lock in a Mantua home to a single key unless you tell us otherwise.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You just bought a Mantua home and previous owners, realtors, contractors, or cleaners may still hold copies of the old key.
What it costs in Mantua
Rekeying a standard pin-tumbler lock in Mantua typically falls between $25 and $50 per cylinder, including the new key and labor.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, swap the internal pins to match a new key, reassemble, and test the key in every rekeyed lock on the same visit.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A key has been lost, a relationship changed, or a cleaner or contractor key has never been returned and you can’t account for every copy.
What it costs in Mantua
Expect $30 to $55 per door lock in Mantua, with the total depending on how many cylinders you want matched to one key.
How we do it
We rekey each door lock cylinder to a fresh key code, then confirm the new key works the deadbolt and the knob or lever on the same door before we leave.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Mantua
| Item | Typical range in Mantua |
|---|---|
| Rekey a single lock | $25 – $50 |
| Rekey two to three exterior doors | $60 – $150 |
| Rekey entire home (up to five cylinders) | $125 – $250 |
How long does a rekey take in Mantua?
Most Mantua rekey jobs take 20 to 45 minutes on site, though original wood doors with shifted frames can add 10 to 15 minutes for strike-plate or hinge adjustment. We quote the full time and price before starting.
Can you match all my Mantua locks to one key?
Yes, in almost every case. We can key Kwikset, Schlage, and most other common Mantua cylinders alike so one key operates every exterior door, and we’ll tell you during the estimate if any lock is too worn to rekey reliably. Call (855) 382-1343 for an exact quote.

In most cases, no. Interior lock changes and rekeys are not visible from the street and do not require approval. If you are changing the exterior finish of a front handleset, it’s worth checking your deed restrictions, since Mantua’s deed-restricted lots sometimes govern visible exterior hardware changes.
Yes. Most Mantua homes have layers of hardware added over decades, and we routinely rekey mixed Kwikset, Schlage, and Yale cylinders to a single key in one visit. If any cylinder is too corroded to repin reliably, we’ll tell you during the estimate and quote a replacement before touching it.
