Moving Into a New Home? Why You Should Rekey, Not Replace

Our Family, Protecting Yours

We started Ben’s Lock & Key with a simple mission: to provide professional, honest, and reliable locksmith services without the “big city” jargon or hidden fees. As a family-owned business, our reputation is everything. When you call us for a residential locksmith, you aren’t just another ticket number- you’re our neighbor.

Whether we are helping a local shop owner in the Cherry Hill Mall or re-keying a new home in South Jersey, we bring the same level of care and precision to every single job.

When you buy a new house in Cherry Hill, the first thing on your “to-do” list should be changing the locks. You have no idea how many spare keys the previous owners gave to neighbors, contractors, or old friends.

But here is a pro-tip from your local residential locksmith: You probably don’t need to buy brand-new expensive hardware.

What is Rekeying?

Rekeying is a simple process where we change the internal pins of your existing lock so that the old keys no longer work. We then provide you with a brand-new set of keys that work perfectly.

Why Choose Rekeying?

Cost-Effective: It’s much cheaper than buying new handles and deadbolts for every door.
Speed: A certified locksmith can rekey a whole house in a fraction of the time it takes to install new hardware.
Style Consistency: You get to keep the hardware that already matches your home’s aesthetic.

If your locks are physically broken or rusted, then a lock change is the way to go. But for most new homeowners in NJ, rekeying is the smartest move for your wallet and your security.

We were very pleased with the service provided. The service was done at our house which was very convenient. The technician was very pleasant and the job was done quickly. And since we have AAA Premier we got a discounted price. We would highly recommend Ben’s.

Everyone here was great! Dominique helped answer all my questions ahead of time and was able to get me in on the schedule on the day I requested. I had a lot of questions and she worked through everything with me with kindness, patience, and was very knowledgeable and friendly!
