Rekey Service

Whether you’ve just settled into a new home or your house key has disappeared into that mysterious place where socks go, rekeying your locks is a smart move. With our Rekey Service, all it takes is placing a service request in MyAccount, the AHS App or by phone. A locksmith will rekey up to six keyholes and provide four matching keys for a fee, so you can get back to feeling right at home.

Rekey and HVAC Tune-up services are offered by Frontdoor Pro and performed by a Frontdoor Pro independent contractor. For Frontdoor Pro license numbers, please visit Frontdoor Pro licensing information. Please note that the locksmith must have one current key. If the member is missing all keys, an additional fee may apply.
