What Is Rekeying A Lock?
Rekeying a lock means changing the key pins inside your lock.
This will eliminate the old key and cause it to not work anymore and no longer be able to open your door. To do this, all of the key pins are removed from their slots and swapped with new ones, and to work properly, the length of its pins must match the depth of its grooves causing a new key or keys to work with that lock. The new keys correspond to the new key pins .
In order to rekey a lock by yourself, you will need at least one working key.
If you have locks of different brands on your house and you want them all to work on the same key, you will need to change some locks so that all your locks match and will be of the same brand (or have the same type of keyway), only then you can re-key them all to the same key.
For example, if your front entrance is fitted with a Schlage lock, any other locks you want to be able to open with the new keys must also be made by Schlage.
If you’re concerned about people getting into your new home or if you’re rekeying it for new tenants, we’re here to help. We’ll rekey your home’s locks so that only authorized people can unlock each lock and gain entry to your home. Rekeying locks is a fast and effective way to protect all of those precious things stored in your home.
Benefits of Rekeying Your Locks:
Keep the existing lock while having a new key.
Saving Money
One key, multiple locks
Replacing Your Lock Versus Rekeying
We can change your lock if you would like, or we can rekey the lock you already have.
Is It Better to Rekey or Change Locks? If you change the lock, we will have to replace the entire lock to an new lock from the doorframe instead of just changing the pins inside the cylinder.
Changing a lock has many advantages, for example, if your locks are old and worn out, changing them is preferable to rekey, but it is a more expensive solution and will take more time to carry out. Not to worry, though, our lock rekey experts will always assess your circumstances and provide you with a different key and the fastest and most cost-effective solution and will keep the same manufacturer lock.
