The Difference Between Rekeying and Replacing Locks
Rekeying involves changing the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinders, allowing them to operate with a new set of keys. This process renders all previous keys unusable without physically changing the lock body or handle. It is an efficient and economical option when your locks are in good working condition but you need to change who has access.
Replacing a lock, conversely, involves removing the entire hardware piece – deadbolt, knob, or lever – and installing a brand-new unit. This is necessary if the lock is damaged, visibly worn, or if you desire an upgrade to a different style or security feature. Rekeying saves on hardware costs and installation time.
Our On-Site Rekeying Process
When you schedule a lock rekeying service for your Fort Lincoln home, our technician arrives equipped to service a range of residential lock types, including standard deadbolts, knob locks, and lever handles. They carefully remove each cylinder, replace the existing pin stack with a new bitting pattern, and then cut fresh keys on site to match the new configuration.
A common request is to key all exterior doors alike, meaning one new key will open your front door, back door, and garage entry door. This convenience simplifies key management and is part of our standard rekeying service. We also handle specialized systems like SmartKey cylinders and master key setups for rental properties.
When to Choose Rekeying for Your Home
Rekeying is the ideal solution in several common scenarios. If you have just purchased a home or signed a new lease in Fort Lincoln, it is crucial to rekey all exterior locks to ensure previous owners, tenants, or contractors no longer have access. Similarly, if a tenant moves out or a cleaner or ex-partner retains a key, rekeying immediately restores your security.
It is also beneficial if you simply wish to consolidate multiple keys into one, simplifying your daily routine. Our mobile service ensures that these security updates are performed quickly and effectively right at your property within the 20018 ZIP code.
