Rekeying locks is the service Woodway homeowners call us about most, and the reason is simple: most of these properties have changed hands, changed staff, or changed family circumstances at some point since the original hardware went in. A house on a two-acre wooded lot with a motorized gate, a detached shop, and a guest suite will have eight or ten keyed openings, not one. If you don’t know every key that’s out there, you don’t control your own doors. Belmont Lock & Key has served Woodway since 2013, and we handle the full lifecycle: rekeying when you move in, emergency openings when a gate operator fails at the worst moment, and car key replacement when a fob dies in the driveway.

Why Woodway Homes Are Different
Woodway is one of the wealthiest, most heavily wooded residential enclaves on Puget Sound. It’s a no-sidewalk town of large gated lots tucked into old-growth firs along the Edmonds shoreline bluffs. That changes the work. These are not 1950s ramblers with a single Kwikset knob on the front door. Most properties are custom single-family homes built from the 1960s through the 2000s, sitting on multi-acre lots with long private driveways, motorized gates, and auxiliary structures: guest houses, shops, boathouses. A typical rekey in Woodway means six to twelve cylinders across multiple buildings, plus a gate keypad or intercom that needs reprogramming so the new key schedule matches the electronics.
The marine air is the second factor. Salt-laden moisture off Puget Sound, combined with heavy winter rain and the damp shade from the tree canopy, corrodes exterior locksets and gate hardware faster than anything inland. We regularly see Schlage and Baldwin hardware on Woodway doors that has seized after five or six years of exposure. Brass and stainless hold up better, but even they need the right lubrication and occasional disassembly. When you live under a fir canopy, your gate hardware often fails before your deadbolt does, and that reframes what a lockout actually looks like here.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Woodway Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Woodway, and they sit at opposite ends of the urgency scale: the calm, planned work of rekeying a newly purchased estate, and the acute emergency of a car key that stopped programming or a gate that won’t open at 11 p.m.
Car Key Replacement in Woodway
Woodway’s elevation and tree cover mean winters are damp and cold, and that takes a toll on automotive keys and fobs. A transponder key that sits in a coat pocket through a wet Edmonds-bound commute can fail without warning, and the long driveways here mean you’re often stranded at the top of your own property line rather than at a busy intersection. Belmont Lock & Key arrives with the tooling to cut and program replacement keys on site for most makes. For the full picture, see Car Key Replacement in Woodway.
Emergency Locksmith in Woodway
When a Woodway gate operator dies or a deadbolt finally gives out after years of marine-air corrosion, you need someone who understands the terrain. An emergency call here might start at the gate keypad at the bottom of a private drive, not at a front door. We respond to lockouts, broken keys, seized hardware, and failed gate entry systems with the right tools for high-end residential hardware. Read more on Emergency Locksmith in Woodway.

Rekey Locks in Woodway
Rekeying in Woodway is rarely a one-door job. With houses built from the 1960s through the 2000s spread across large wooded lots, most properties have multiple keyed openings: the main residence, a gate or two, a garage door, a guest house, maybe a boathouse or shop. The climate compounds it. Salt-laden marine air and damp tree shade corrode cylinders faster than inland, so a rekey here often includes cleaning and lubricating each lock while we change the pins. That’s the value of a full Rekey Locks service on a Woodway property: one key schedule, every opening accounted for, and hardware that’s actually been serviced rather than just repinned.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve bought a Woodway home and have no record of how many keys the previous owners, their contractors, their house sitters, or their adult children still hold.
What it costs in Woodway
A standard lock rekey in Woodway typically runs $75 to $160 for a service call plus per-cylinder work, with most single-cylinder deadbolts and knobs repinned for $20 to $35 each.
How we do it
We disassemble each cylinder, replace the pins and springs to match a new key, lubricate the moving parts against the marine air, and test the lock in place before we leave.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You’re carrying four or five different keys for your Woodway property and want one key that opens the front door, the gate, the shop, and the guest house.
What it costs in Woodway
Keying multiple cylinders alike in Woodway costs $25 to $45 per cylinder when done as part of a visit, with a $75 to $160 service call covering the trip out to your property.
How we do it
We match the pinning across every cylinder in the job, so a single key operates each opening, then we cut duplicate keys and confirm the whole system works together.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
A tenant, contractor, or caregiver relationship has ended in Woodway and you know that person still has a key to your door.
What it costs in Woodway
Rekeying a door lock in Woodway starts with the $75 to $160 service call, and each door lock cylinder is an additional $20 to $35, plus $5 to $12 per new key cut.
How we do it
We repin the cylinder so old keys stop working, cut the new keys you need, and test the lock through several cycles to make sure it operates smoothly.

Is rekeying better than replacing locks in Woodway?
Rekeying is usually the smarter move in Woodway when the hardware is solid. It keeps your existing Schlage, Baldwin, or Kwikset hardware in place, costs far less than replacement, and gives you full key control. We’ll advise replacement only when corrosion has made it necessary.
Brands We Service in Woodway
Woodway doors wear Schlage, Baldwin, and Kwikset hardware as their everyday workhorses, but we also service Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy systems for the security-conscious homeowners and estate managers here. We stock common pins and parts for the residential brands in our vans, which means most Woodway rekey jobs wrap up same day. High-security hardware sometimes needs factory-ordered cylinders; for the full breakdown, see our brands.

FAQs About Locksmith in Woodway
Most Woodway calls are reached within 30 to 45 minutes, depending on where in town you are and the time of day. The town is small and traffic is typically light, but the long private drives and gated entrances add a few minutes to the final approach. Call (855) 473-2502.
Woodway’s residential lots are independently owned, and there’s no town-wide HOA that regulates locksets or hardware choices the way some planned communities do. What matters is your own security preference and, for high-end hardware, matching the finish and function to your existing doors. We can advise on that in the visit.
Yes. When a property has motorized gates, we coordinate the mechanical rekey with the gate access system, which often means reprogramming keypads or intercom credentials to match the new key schedule. We’ll ask about your gate setup when you book so the right technician and tools arrive on the first visit.
