Rekey before or after closing
Nobody knows how many copies of the old keys are out there after a sale. We rekey every exterior cylinder so only the new owner's keys work, often on the same visit as the walkthrough.

For Business
Closings, listings and rental turnovers run on deadlines, and the keys have to be sorted before the new owner or tenant walks in. We scope the property, quote in writing and invoice your company.
Apex Locksmith Pros helps realtors and real estate investors rekey homes before or after closing, install new deadbolts and smart locks, and get rental properties ready for the next tenant in McKinney and nearby cities in Collin, Denton and Dallas counties, including Frisco, Prosper, Celina, Anna and Aubrey. Rekeying starts from $35+ per cylinder, and smart lock installation starts from $169+. Investors with several houses or units can send the whole list and get one written estimate, where every job has a flat total agreed before we drive out and there is no call-out fee. We invoice the brokerage or the investment company, and a W-9 and a certificate of insurance are available on request. Our Texas locksmith company license is #B31197901, issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Private Security Bureau, and we are insured. We work every day from 8 AM to 8 PM, weekends included, in English.

The lock and key problems we hear most from realtors & investors in McKinney and nearby cities in Dallas, Collin and Denton counties, and how we handle each one.
Nobody knows how many copies of the old keys are out there after a sale. We rekey every exterior cylinder so only the new owner's keys work, often on the same visit as the walkthrough.
Keys change hands many times while a house is listed, and one can easily go missing. We rekey the locks so a lost key is no longer a risk, or install a smart lock so access is managed by code.
An investor with several rentals needs each unit secured before the next tenant moves in. We rekey or replace locks and deadbolts across the properties and put the work on one written estimate.
Older or vacant properties often have locks that stick, deadbolts that do not throw or hardware that was forced. We repair the lock or install new deadbolt and door hardware.
