The rekeying process explained
Rekeying involves a precise manipulation of your existing lock cylinders. A skilled technician carefully removes the cylinder from your deadbolt, knob, or lever handle. Inside, a series of small pins, known as the pin stack, matches the unique cuts of your current key. The old pins are then replaced with a new configuration of pins.
Once the new pin stack is installed, the cylinder is reassembled, and a fresh set of keys is cut to match this new internal bitting. This process effectively creates a brand-new lock without needing to install completely new hardware. Your existing lock remains, but its operational key is entirely different, rendering all previous copies useless for entry.
Benefits of rekeying for your Bloomingdale home
One of the primary benefits of rekeying your home in Bloomingdale is enhanced security without significant expense. It immediately nullifies access for anyone who might possess an old key, such as previous owners, tenants, contractors, or even lost keys. This provides a fresh start for your property's security.
Beyond security, rekeying offers considerable convenience. We can often key all your exterior doors alike, meaning a single key will operate your front door, back door, and garage entry. This eliminates the need for a bulky keyring with multiple house keys, simplifying your daily routine and reducing the chances of fumbling for the right key.
Ideal times to consider rekeying your locks
There are several crucial times when rekeying your locks is highly recommended for your Bloomingdale home. The most common scenario is immediately after purchasing a new house or signing a new lease. This ensures that previous occupants or their acquaintances no longer have access to your property.
Other triggers include a tenant moving out, a contractor or cleaner completing work who had access to your keys, or if you have simply lost a key and are concerned about who might find it. Rekeying is also an excellent option if you are tired of carrying multiple keys and wish to consolidate access to all your exterior doors with a single key.
