lock rekeying

Having your locks rekeyed is a cost-effective way of improving security at your home without spending too much money. It is best to hire a professional locksmith for this job as it requires special equipment and knowledge on how locks work. There are some do-it-yourself kits available on the market but we don’t recommend doing it yourself unless you know exactly what you’re doing and why, as well as having all of the correct tools readily available to do so.

When deciding on whether or not you should go with lock rekeying vs. replacing your locks, you should take into consideration whether or not they are an older lock and if they might be easier to break into with the new key than it would be to replace them. If this is the case, you may want to consider getting a brand-new set of locks for better security and peace of mind.

Why people need to Rekey Locks

People need to rekey locks for all kinds of different reasons. Some people will change their locks because they have recently moved, giving the previous owners a new key so they can come by whenever they want. Other people will rekey their locks because they are victims of burglary or otherwise don’t want anyone stealing the previous owners’ keys.

Finally, some people rekey their locks to increase security if they have an older lock that is easier to break into with a new key than it would be to replace them.

The reason why lock rekeying should be done by a professional locksmith is because the job requires training in order to know how to properly disassemble and assemble the lock. If there are any damages done to the key or cylinder during this process, it can make it harder for anyone to use their key (which could lead to them getting locked out of their home). A trained locksmith will make sure that all of these things are handled efficiently and safely.
