Why two jobs with the same name can cost differently
A “car key replacement” can mean a simple turn-key, a transponder key, a remote-head key, or a proximity smart key. A “rekey” can involve one compatible cylinder or many commercial locks. The useful quote is based on the exact system—not just the service label.

Frequently asked questions
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing a lock?
Often, yes, when the existing hardware is compatible and in good condition. Replacement makes more sense when the hardware is damaged or the security goal requires different hardware.
Do all locks support rekeying?
No. Compatibility depends on the cylinder and hardware design.
Can multiple locks be keyed alike?
Often yes when the cylinders use compatible keyways and can be configured to the same key.
