Understanding Lock Rekeying Versus Lock Replacement
Many homeowners in Lansdowne believe that changing their locks means buying entirely new lock sets. However, rekeying offers a more cost-effective and equally secure solution. Lock replacement involves removing the old lock hardware from the door and installing new hardware. Rekeying, in contrast, changes only the internal mechanism of the existing lock cylinder, specifically the pin stack.This process makes all previous keys for that lock immediately ineffective, as they no longer match the new internal pin configuration. The existing lock hardware remains securely in place on your door, maintaining its aesthetic and functionality while providing a fresh layer of security. It is an ideal solution for situations where the lock itself is in good working condition.
The Rekeying Process: A Step-by-Step Security Upgrade
The rekeying process begins with our technician carefully removing the lock cylinder from your existing deadbolt, knob, or lever handle in your Lansdowne home. Once the cylinder is exposed, the old pins that match your previous key are removed. A new set of precision-cut pins, known as the bitting, is then installed into the cylinder, corresponding to a brand-new key code.After the new pins are in place, the cylinder is reassembled and tested for smooth operation with the new key. Our technicians then cut a fresh set of keys on-site that perfectly match the newly configured lock. This efficient process provides you with immediate control over who has access to your property.
Keying Alike and Master Key Options for Lansdowne Homes
A significant advantage of rekeying services is the ability to key-alike multiple locks across your property. Instead of fumbling with a ring of different keys for your front door, back door, and garage entry in Lansdowne, we can rekey all your exterior doors to operate with a single, convenient key. This simplifies access and improves your daily routine.For properties requiring tiered access, such as a rental property or a home with staff, we can also set up a master key system. This allows a master key to open all rekeyed locks, while individual tenant or employee keys only access specific doors. Our technicians discuss these options with you to customize your home's access system.
