Choosing to rekey locks instead of changing them offers several advantages. First, it’s a more cost-effective option since you avoid the expense of new lock hardware. Rekeying uses the existing locks, altering only the internal mechanisms. This means less time and labor are required, resulting in lower costs for you.

Second, rekeying provides the same level of security as installing new locks. By changing the lock pins, the old key can no longer operate the lock, ensuring unauthorized individuals can’t gain entry. Third, rekeying allows for customization, such as creating a master key system where one key unlocks multiple locks. This adds convenience without compromising security.

Finally, rekeying is less disruptive since there’s no need to replace door hardware. The aesthetic of your home or business remains unchanged. Our professional locksmith services offer both rekeying and lock changing, but we often recommend rekeying as an efficient solution for enhancing security.
