What is Lock Rekeying?

Lock rekeying is a process performed by professional locksmiths that renders all previous keys inoperative, ensuring that only new keys can operate the lock. This is particularly beneficial when keys have been lost, stolen, or have fallen into the wrong hands. One of the main advantages of rekeying your locks is the cost-efficiency, as it is typically less expensive than replacing the entire lock.

Lost, Stolen, or Unreturned Keys

Lost or stolen keys leave your home extremely vulnerable and an easy target for thieves. Rekey your locks at your earliest convenience to enhance security.

New Home or Office Lock Rekey

When moving into a new property, it’s essential to ensure you are the only person with access. Rekeying the locks guarantees that any old keys will no longer work, providing you with peace of mind.

The Importance of Lock Rekeying

Lock rekeying is an essential security measure that involves altering the internal mechanism of a lock so that it works with a new key while rendering the old key useless. This process is often overlooked, but it plays a significant role in maintaining security for both residential and commercial properties. Rekeying is especially important after moving into a new home, losing your keys, or when there are concerns that unauthorized individuals may have access to your property. By rekeying your locks, you can ensure control over who has access without the need for a complete lock replacement.

01.

Cost-Effective Security

Rekeying is a much more affordable solution compared to changing an entire lock. It allows you to enhance security without the expense of purchasing new locks for your doors.

02.

Improved Control Over Access

By rekeying, you ensure that any old keys held by previous tenants, homeowners, or employees no longer work, giving you complete control over who has access to your property.

03.

Increased Convenience

Rekeying allows you to use one key for multiple locks (keyed alike), eliminating the need to carry multiple keys for different doors within your home or office.

04.

Fast and Non-Invasive Process

Rekeying is a quick process that can be done without having to remove or replace existing hardware, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.

05.

Enhanced Security After Key Loss

If you’ve lost your keys or they’ve been stolen, rekeying ensures that your property remains secure without the worry that someone unauthorized may use your lost key.

06.

Flexibility in Managing Access

For businesses or properties with multiple users, rekeying allows you to establish new key hierarchies, such as master keys, that grant specific access levels to different individuals, improving overall security management.
