What Is A Lock Rekey?

Most common locks contain a certain set amount of pins inside. When a key, with ridges, in inserted into the lock, the pins are moved by the bumps on the key. Basically, the key pushes the pins in a matter that allows the lock to turn and be locked or unlocked.

In a rekey procedure the locksmith changes the combination of the pins within the lock. The current key then will no longer work with the adjusted pins, and a new key will have to be made. And there you have it, upgraded security without the need to change the lock.

When Should I Rekey?

Rekeying is great for when you want to upgrade your security but don’t want to change the locks that you already have installed. For business owners, it’s always a great idea to rekey after the loss of an employee who may have had keys to your business. If you are a new home owner you may want to rekey your locks, as you never know who may have copies of your new home key.
