Rekey Locks is the service Middleburg homeowners call us for most often, and the jobs here look different from what you’d see in a dense Jacksonville suburb. Instead of a quick front-door lockout on a walkable street, we’re usually driving down a long private driveway off SR-21 or County Road 220 to rekey a 1970s ranch house, free a rusted shed padlock, or secure a foreclosed rural property before new tenants move in. Kingsley Locksmith has served Middleburg since 2016, and we carry the tools and parts for everything from builder-grade Kwikset to Medeco high-security cylinders. Call (855) 360-5957 for a quote on any lock or key job.
Why Middleburg Homes Are Different
Middleburg is semi-rural Clay County, strung along SR-21 and County Road 220, where most homes sit on large lots or full acreage with long, unpaved driveways and weathered outbuildings. That changes what we actually do on a daily basis. A typical week includes freeing a gate padlock that has rusted solid after two humid summers, rekeying a 1970s hollow-metal shed hasp on Black Creek, and installing fresh deadbolts in a newer builder subdivision off Henley Road. The housing stock spans older ranch homes and manufactured homes near the 32068 corridor to brand-new construction in the 32050 area, so one call can be a screen-door lockset that has worn out completely and the next a Baldwin entry set that needs precise pinning.
The climate does real damage here. Subtropical humidity, heavy summer thunderstorms, and the occasional tropical system push moisture into exterior locks, deadbolts, and padlocks. Sandy, low-lying ground around Black Creek shifts gate posts seasonally, which throws strike plates and latches out of alignment. We deal with that constantly. A deadbolt that worked fine in March may bind by August because the gate post settled half an inch. That’s not a generic lock problem, and it’s not fixed with a generic service call.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Middleburg Services
Two services account for most of the calls we run in Middleburg, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and detail.
Car Key Replacement in Middleburg
Losing or breaking a car key out here is worse than in town, because there’s no dealership nearby and a tow to one can eat an entire afternoon. We replace most transponder keys, fobs, and push-to-start keys on-site at your Middleburg driveway, farm gate, or workplace along SR-21, programmed and cut in the field. No tow, no dealership run. For model-specific coverage, programming details, and what it costs, see Car Key Replacement in Middleburg.
Emergency Locksmith in Middleburg
A lockout on a dark Clay County road or a broken deadbolt on a rental turnover doesn’t wait for business hours. We run emergency calls across Middleburg including the Black Creek corridor and the newer subdivisions, handling home and vehicle lockouts plus urgent security failures like a latch that won’t catch or a key snapped off in a cylinder. Expect the same technician, the same van stock, and the same upfront phone quote you’d get on a scheduled job. See Emergency Locksmith in Middleburg for response details and what constitutes a true emergency.

Rekey Locks in Middleburg
Rekeying is the most practical security step a Middleburg homeowner or landlord can take, and we recommend it far more often than full lock replacement. The semi-rural corridor along SR-21 and Black Creek sees steady turnover of rental and foreclosed rural properties, which means a new set of keys should mean a new set of pins, not the same cylinder the last five tenants had. Older homes and manufactured homes near 32068 often carry mismatched brands across front, back, and shed doors; we can key them all alike so one key works everywhere. Climate is a factor here too: humid summers corrode pins and springs, and a rekey is the right time to clean, lubricate, and confirm every lock functions smoothly. This is the full picture on Rekey Locks, and it applies directly to the housing stock and conditions we see across Middleburg.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve moved into a home in Middleburg and don’t know how many previous keys are floating around from former owners, tenants, or contractors.
What it costs in Middleburg
A standard single-cylinder rekey in Middleburg runs roughly $60 – $110 per cylinder, including the new keys.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, swap the pins to match a new key, test the action, and reinstall it, typically in 15 – 20 minutes per lock.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
You want one key to operate your front door, back door, and side garage door but right now you’re carrying three different keys.
What it costs in Middleburg
Rekeying multiple door locks to a single key in Middleburg generally lands between $70 and $150 for the first lock plus additional cylinders, with each extra cylinder usually $15 – $35.
How we do it
We pin each cylinder to the same key code, so every door in the house works off one key while the old keys stop working entirely.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
Your house, shed, and gate each have a separate key, and you’d rather have one key operate all of them.
What it costs in Middleburg
Keying multiple locks alike in Middleburg typically runs $15 – $35 per cylinder beyond the first, provided the lock brands and keyways are compatible.
How we do it
We confirm the cylinders share a compatible keyway, then re-pin each to a single common key and hand you as many copies as you need.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Middleburg
| Item | Typical range in Middleburg |
|---|---|
| Single-cylinder rekey (one lock) | $60 – $110 |
| Each additional cylinder keyed alike | $15 – $35 |
| Rekey multiple locks to one key, first lock | $70 – $150 |
How long does a rekey take in Middleburg?
Most homes take 30 – 60 minutes total for two or three doors. We bring the full pinning kit in the van, so there’s no trip back to a shop. Call (855) 360-5957 for a time estimate on your specific door count.
Is rekeying safer than just getting new locks?
Rekeying is just as secure as replacing, at a lower cost, because the old keys stop working completely. We recommend replacement only when the hardware itself is worn or damaged. Call (855) 360-5957 and we’ll quote both options honestly.
Brands We Service in Middleburg
We work on the locks most locksmiths won’t. That means the full Schlage, Kwikset, and Baldwin lineup, plus high-security systems from Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Yale. Our vans stock common pins, cylinders, and parts for these brands, so most Middleburg jobs finish same-day without waiting on an order. See our brands for the technical details on restricted keyways and certification.

Two things push Middleburg prices toward the upper end of these ranges: distance, because scattered rural properties sit farther apart than city blocks, and condition, because humid summers seize and corrode exterior hardware that then takes longer to free and service. Whatever the job, the price we quote on the phone is the price on your invoice. We don’t add a call-out surcharge when we arrive.

What Middleburg Customers Say
"Told me over the phone that what I needed was a five dollar part from the hardware store, not a locksmith. I called him back a month later for real work because of that."
— Adam Mercer"The old deadbolt was mounted crooked by whoever lived here before and had been sticking for years. He redrilled and reset it properly rather than just replacing the hardware."
— Carmen Flores"Commercial job, panic bar and a master key system for a small office. Clean install and clear documentation of which key opens what."
— Ryan Padgett
