Rekeying locks is the most common call we handle in Aloha, and it usually costs between $75 and $160 for a standard residential rekey if we come to you. Most Aloha homes were built between the 1960s and the 2000s, which means we see a lot of repeat-format builder locks with Kwikset or Schlage keyways – perfect candidates for rekeying rather than full replacement. If you’re locked out or need a car key made on SW TV Highway, call (855) 341-3373.
Why Aloha Homes Are Different
Aloha sits as an unincorporated crossroads suburb in Washington County, which shapes how locksmith work actually happens here. There’s no city police department – the Washington County Sheriff’s Office handles dispatch and patrol – so after-hours lockout calls often involve coordination with sheriff’s deputies, especially on the SW TV Highway and SW 185th Avenue corridor. Most residents live in HOA-governed tract-home subdivisions or low-rise apartment and condo complexes along TV Highway, and the housing stock reflects that: 1960s to 2000s construction with standard builder-grade entry locksets, many sharing the same Kwikset or Schlage keyways within a given subdivision.
Aloha’s wet, frosty Portland-metro winters create a specific set of lock problems we see every year. Older wood-framed doors swell with moisture, which pushes deadbolts and strikes out of alignment. That means seasonal calls for frozen or seized deadbolts, stuck latches, and keys that turn with difficulty. The climate rarely gets cold enough to freeze a lock solid for long, but exterior brass and steel stay continuously damp from October through April, and corrosion builds up faster than homeowners expect. When we rekey in Aloha, we often find surface rust inside the cylinder on older exterior doors – something we address during the rekey itself.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Aloha Services
Beyond rekeying, Aloha homeowners and drivers call us most often for two things: car key replacement and emergency lockout response. Here’s what each involves in Aloha specifically.
Car Key Replacement in Aloha
Aloha is a commuter community, and when a car key breaks or goes missing, getting to a dealership in Beaverton or Hillsboro is a half-day headache. We cut and program replacement keys on-site, right in your driveway or in a parking lot along SW TV Highway. That includes transponder keys and fobs for most major makes. No tow, no dealership markup, no waiting room. For the full picture on key types, programming, and what your car needs, see our Car Key Replacement in Aloha page.
Emergency Locksmith in Aloha
Lockouts in Aloha happen at apartments along TV Highway, at tract homes in subdivisions off SW 185th, and in parking lots everywhere in between. Because Aloha has no city PD, we’re familiar with how Washington County Sheriff’s Office dispatch handles after-hours calls, and we work with that reality, not against it. We cover both car and home lockouts, and we rekey the lock right then if you want new keys after a lockout. Details on our emergency response approach are on the Emergency Locksmith in Aloha page.

Rekey Locks in Aloha
Rekeying in Aloha is the practical security reset most people need but don’t know costs as little as it does. Because central Aloha is dominated by 1960s-to-2000s tract housing and apartment complexes with repeat-format builder locksets, many homes share identical keyways, meaning a neighbor’s key might turn your deadbolt without you ever realizing it. Rekeying swaps the internal pins so old keys stop working and new keys take over – no new hardware required, and the brass and steel keep right on working through another wet Washington County winter. Northfield Lock & Key has served Aloha since 2012, and our Rekey Locks work covers everything from a single door to entire complexes.

How we do it
We pull the cylinder from the door, replace the pin stack so the old key no longer turns, lubricate the cylinder internals with a dry graphite or PTFE lubricant suited to Aloha’s wet climate, and reinstall everything with the strike properly aligned.
Rekey Service

Your Aloha house has multiple doors with mismatched keys, you’re rekeying after a lease turnover, or you want all exterior locks to work on one key without replacing the hardware.

Full rekey service across multiple doors in Aloha usually runs $20 to $30 for each additional cylinder after the first, with the first cylinder at the standard $75 to $160.

What Rekey Locks Costs in Aloha
| Item | Typical range in Aloha |
|---|---|
| First lock rekeyed (labor included) | $75 – $160 |
| Each additional cylinder | $20 – $30 |
| Rekey after a lockout (same visit) | $20 – $30 per cylinder |
Will the price you quote on the phone be the final price?
Yes. We give you the full rekeying price on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and you never pay a call-out surcharge on arrival. Call (855) 341-3373 for a straight quote.
Is rekeying as good as replacing the lock?
Rekeying delivers the same security outcome as replacement at a fraction of the cost. Old keys stop working permanently, and you keep the hardware already on your door.

FAQs About Locksmith in Aloha
Most Aloha locations are reached within an hour, partly because the area funnels through SW TV Highway and Farmington Road. Lockouts take priority, and you’ll get an honest ETA when you call (855) 341-3373.
