If you manage a facility, you know how often keys go missing and how expensive it is to replace them. The average rekey building cost adds up every time a lock needs to be changed. With CyberLock from TEC Solutions, you rekey your building once, and never again.
The Real Cost of Rekeying
Rekeying is often dismissed as a small expense, but the numbers add up quickly in commercial facilities. Most locksmith services charge $100 to $250 per lock to rekey commercial hardware, and high-security locks can run even higher. According to consumer surveys compiled by This Old House, even residential rekeying starts at $50 to $150 per lock, and commercial environments are typically more expensive.
Now consider those costs in a commercial setting such as an office, school, or hospital with 100 or more doors. A single rekeying project can run into tens of thousands of dollars, not including the downtime and disruption as staff wait for replacement keys. Every time another key goes missing, the process starts again, and with each unaccounted-for key, the potential security risk only grows.
With CyberLock, facilities only replace their mechanical cylinders once. From that point forward, lost or compromised keys are deactivated digitally. There are no locksmith fees, no new hardware purchases, and no recurring rekey costs.
How CyberLock Works
CyberLock replaces your mechanical cylinders with electronic cylinders. Once installed, your facility is effectively “rekeyed” for the last time. When a key is lost, there is no need to replace locks. Instead, IT or security staff simply deactivate the missing key and issue a new one.
Cost Savings Over Time
The long-term savings are significant. A single lost key in a traditional system might force you to rekey an entire wing of a building. With CyberLock, the cost is simply a new key. That difference can save thousands of dollars annually, especially for schools, hospitals, and multi-site businesses.
Operational Benefits
Beyond cost savings, CyberLock improves operations. You gain audit trails, user permissions, and the ability to control access at a granular level. Your team spends less time coordinating locksmith visits and more time focusing on core priorities.
