When to rekey locks
Lock rekeying is a common solution for when you’ve lost your keys or given them away . Rekeying allows the previous key holder access to their home while keeping unwanted guests from using a stolen key to gain entry. Lock rekeying can also be used if you want to change the number of key holders with access to the home, such as a parent who no longer lives at the residence or a renter who has moved out.
How lock Rekeying works?
Lock rekeying involves resetting the internal pins in your cylinder so that they have a new configuration and accept different keys. The process for this varies from type to type but generally consists of drilling out one side of the lock cylinder and pushing out the old pins, then reinserting new pins with the correct configuration. Lock rekeying is considered more secure than changing locks as it requires drilling to access the inside of the lock and resetting each pin individually, while a new lock only requires one drilled hole for installation. Lock rekeying offers more security because there will be no key that can open your locks apart from those you already own and any existing keys will not work once your locks have been re-keyed.
Rekeying vs Lock Replacement
Lock replacement costs more than lock rekeying and is often only necessary if the locks are very old or damaged. Lock rekeying can be done on almost any brand of lock , while lock replacement may not fit and require additional costs to get them to work properly. Lock replacement also leaves a hole in your door, which can cause problems for future repairs such as painting. Lock rekeying ensures that no damage is done to the existing lock, so you will save money on repairing your door after rekeying.
