Just Moved In or Lost a Key? Rekeying and Lock Changes in San Marcos
Moving into a home is one of the main reasons people call us for a rekey. You may have the keys from closing, but there is no way to know how many other copies were made or who still has one. Rekeying keeps the locks you already have but changes the pins inside, so the old keys stop working. We can also key the doors alike so one new key opens them all.
Rekeying usually costs less than replacing good locks. A lock change makes more sense when a deadbolt is worn or damaged, or when you want different hardware. Our technician checks what is already on the doors and tells you whether a rekey or replacement makes more sense before starting.
- Move-in and post-closing rekeys
- Rekeys after a lost or stolen key
- Detached casita and garage-apartment locks
- Mailbox and gate locks rekeyed to match
Upgrading the House: Residential Lock Installation and High-Security Locks in San Marcos
We install residential locks in San Marcos on new and existing homes. On a new home out toward Kissing Tree or La Cima, that may mean replacing basic locks with better deadbolts and handlesets. On an older home near Hopkins, it may be adding a deadbolt to a door that never had one or replacing a loose or worn handleset. We install deadbolts, keyed entry sets, knobs, and levers from Schlage, Kwikset, and Baldwin, and make sure the lock and strike line up properly before we finish.
When you want tighter control over keys, we also install high-security home locks from Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. These cylinders are built for greater resistance to picking and drilling, and restricted key systems give you more control over who can have copies made. You can use high-security locks on the doors that need them and keep quality standard deadbolts on the rest.
- Deadbolts added to doors that never had one
- Handlesets, knobs, and lever sets fitted
- Builder-grade locks upgraded on new builds
- High-security cylinders with added resistance to drilling and picking
- Restricted key systems for tighter key control
- Patio and side-door locks matched to the front
Locked out, or a lock that will not turn? A San Marcos technician can be on the way, Monday to Saturday.
Locked Out or a Lock Stopped Working? Home Lockout and Lock Repair in San Marcos
Locked out with the keys inside, lost the only copy, or have a lock that will not turn? We come to homes across San Marcos and get the door open, using non-destructive entry methods whenever the lock allows it.
We also repair home locks when a deadbolt sticks, a latch will not catch, or a knob or lever has come loose. Sometimes the lock is fine and the door or strike simply needs to be realigned. If a key has broken inside the cylinder, we remove the broken piece, check the lock, and cut a new key on site. When a lock is too worn or damaged to repair, we replace it instead.
- House lockouts and non-destructive entry where possible
- Broken keys extracted, new key cut
- Sticking deadbolts and latches serviced
- Doors and strike plates realigned
Going Keyless: Smart Locks and Keypad Entry in San Marcos
Smart lock installation in San Marcos gives you another option when you would rather use a code or phone than hand out extra keys. We install keypad deadbolts, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart locks, and keyless entry locks for homes and rental properties.
Before fitting the lock, we check the door and strike so the deadbolt locks and unlocks properly. We install the hardware, program the codes, test the lock, and help with the app setup when the model uses one. You can also change or remove codes when a cleaner, dog walker, guest, or anyone else no longer needs access.
- Keypad deadbolts with individual user codes
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth models installed
- Door and strike checked for proper alignment
- Keyed backup on models that include one
- Codes changed when access should end
- App and lock setup checked before we leave
Rental and Off-Campus Move-Out Rekeys in San Marcos
Rental turnover is a common reason to rekey a property in San Marcos. When a tenant moves out, there may be copies of the old key that were never returned. We rekey rental houses, duplexes, and off-campus units so those old keys no longer open the doors before the next tenant moves in.
For landlords and property managers with several units, we can also set up a master key system. You carry one key that opens the properties on the system, while each tenant has a key for only their own unit. We handle between-tenant rekeys and master key setups for rental properties near Texas State and elsewhere around San Marcos.
- Between-tenant and semester-turnover rekeys
- Off-campus apartment and duplex rekeys
- Master key systems for multi-unit landlords
- Individual units rekeyed as tenants change

San Marcos Residential Locksmith FAQs
We rent off campus and need the locks rekeyed between roommates. Can TXP Locksmith do that?
Yes, once the person authorized to approve work on the property gives us the go-ahead. We can rekey the unit so the old keys stop working and cut a new set for the people who should have access.
My toddler locked the bathroom door from the inside. Can you open an interior door without breaking it?
Yes. We open interior privacy locks and try to get the door open without damaging the lock or door. We can also show you how that particular privacy lock releases from the outside.
Does TXP Locksmith install and rekey locks on detached casitas or garage apartments in San Marcos?
Yes. We install deadbolts and other residential locks on casitas, garage apartments, and backyard units, and can rekey them when an occupant changes. Where the hardware allows, we can also key them to match the main house.
Can one key open all my rental units, or does each tenant need a different key?
A master key system can give the owner or property manager one key for the units on the system while each tenant’s key opens only their own unit. We set up the key levels around the properties you manage.
We run a short-term rental near the river. Can guests use a code instead of a key?
Yes. We install keypad and smart locks that let you give guests their own codes. On compatible models, codes can also be scheduled or removed when a stay ends, so you do not have to hand out a physical key.
My deadbolt turns but the door still will not lock. Does it need repair or a new lock?
It may only need repair or adjustment. The deadbolt may not be lining up with the strike, or part of the lock may be worn. We check the door and lock first and replace the hardware only when it cannot be repaired.
