Want to replace your lock cylinders? Purchased a new home? Lock not operating properly? Whatever the reason may be, there’s no need to worry anymore. Locksmiths
rekeying locks
are now available at the reach of the phone. Don’t get confused here; re keying is not replacing your locks! Many people call asking to replace their locks when actually, they do not know that they only need a
rekeying lock
service.
There are many reasons why people seek rekeying; some could be the purchase of a new home, locks that do not work properly, different keys for different doors in the house, lost of keys, need for additional locks and other security reasons.
Rekeying is the process where your lock is taken apart and re-pinned. The lock cylinder is disassembled and all the old pins discarded. New pins are then installed and the lock is then reinstalled back onto your door.
The lock will then require a different key to work. The new key will coincide with the new lock tumblers and the old one would no longer work. This saves you money; because it is not necessary to buy a new lock!
This rekeying will provide you with a new lock code and combination, for your High Security Locks and most Pad-locks and tumblers of a new size for your normal lock cylinders and also new locking system for your automobile door locks.
High security locks that are rekeyed will be reassembled with a new lock code. Some rekeying services, now available online as well, will provide the service of tracking. The new lock and key code will be entered into their programs for tracking in case anything happens in future.
Automobile locks can be rekeyed just like normal door locks. Rekeying them is usually less expensive compared to replacing the whole lock system.
