Rekey & Lock Services for Rentals, HOAs & Multi-Unit Properties
Move-out turnovers, master key systems across units, and eviction lockouts — we handle the recurring lock work that comes with managing property in Waco, on a schedule and invoice that fits how you operate.
Recurring Lock Work for Property Managers & Landlords
These are the jobs that come up again and again when you’re managing rentals instead of a single home.
Move-Out & Move-In Turnovers
Rekey between tenants on your schedule, not theirs — so a unit is secure and ready before the next lease starts.
Master Key Systems Across Units
One key for maintenance and management, individual keys for each unit, so your staff isn’t carrying a ring of a hundred keys.
Eviction & Lockout Changes
When a lock needs to change immediately for legal or safety reasons, we can prioritize same-day service with proper documentation.
HOA & Common Area Access
Gates, mailrooms, pool houses, and clubhouses rekeyed or upgraded on a schedule that works for your board or association.
Built to Work With How You Manage Property
Property accounts run differently than a single homeowner call — here’s how we make it simple.
One Point of Contact
Set up a property account once, and every future unit turnover or lock job goes through the same simple request process.
Consolidated Invoicing
For multi-unit accounts, we can bill per job or on a schedule that matches how your books actually work.
Priority Turnaround
Property accounts get priority scheduling for turnovers, so vacant units don’t sit unrented waiting on a rekey.
Typical Cost Tiers
$ — Single-unit turnover rekey
$$ — Multi-unit rekey or master key setup
$$$ — Full property master key system or HOA common-area upgrade

Who We Typically Work With
If you manage more than one door, this is usually the right service — here’s where we fit in most.
Independent Landlords
Own a handful of rental properties and need a locksmith who remembers your account instead of starting from scratch every call.
Property Management Companies
Manage units across multiple owners and need consistent, documented service you can bill back accurately.
HOAs & Community Associations
Common-area access, gate systems, and amenity buildings that need scheduled maintenance, not just emergency calls.
Apartment Complexes
High-volume turnover rekeys and master key systems sized for dozens or hundreds of units.
Running a Business Instead of Rental Property?

Landlord & Property Manager FAQs
Common questions from Waco landlords, property managers, and HOA boards.
Should I rekey every time a tenant moves out?
Yes, this is standard practice. You have no way of knowing how many key copies the previous tenant made, so rekeying between tenants protects the next occupant and limits your liability.
Can you set up an account for multiple properties?
Yes, we set up property accounts for landlords and management companies so every future job goes through one simple request process with consolidated invoicing.
Do you handle eviction lock changes?
Yes, we can prioritize same-day lock changes for eviction situations. We recommend confirming your legal requirements with your attorney, since timing and documentation rules vary.
What’s a master key system and do I need one?
A master key system lets your maintenance or management staff access every unit with one key, while each tenant’s key only opens their own door. It’s common for apartment complexes and multi-unit landlords.
Can you rekey common areas for an HOA?
Yes, we handle gates, mailrooms, pool houses, and clubhouse access for HOAs and community associations, typically scheduled around board meetings or resident notices.
How fast can you turn around a vacant unit rekey?
Property accounts get priority scheduling, and most single-unit turnovers are completed same-day so the unit is ready for the next lease.
