Some Done Projects

How We Handle Lock Rekeying

Inspect the Existing Lock

We first identify the lock type and inspect the Lock Cylinder, Keyway, and Door Lock Housing. This confirms whether the existing hardware is suitable for rekeying and helps prevent unnecessary replacement costs. Our team also checks the lock’s condition to make sure the rekeying process will provide reliable operation.

Rekey the Cylinder

For compatible pin tumbler locks, the locksmith removes the cylinder and adjusts the Key Pins and Driver Pins to match a new key. The new combination allows the lock to operate with the new key while preventing the previous key from working. This restores control over who can access the property.

When Should You Rekey Your Locks?

Rekeying makes sense after moving into a new home, losing house keys, or giving up access to previous occupants. It can also help when you want multiple locks to operate with one key. If a lock has damaged internal parts or a worn Lock Core, replacement may be more suitable. Our locksmith can explain the practical option after checking the hardware.
