Locks: Re-Keying vs. Replacing

When you own a home, it is up to

you to make sure it is safe and

secure. There are many different

reasons that may make you

consider rekeying or replacing your

locks. Some may include moving

into a new home, losing your keys

or a broken lock. So how do you

know which is the best choice?

First of all, what is rekeying a lock?

Rekeying a lock is when the lock stays the same but the keys no longer work

for the lock. It involves taking off the doorknob and replacing the pins or

tumblers that line up with the key and allow it to unlock the door. When you

have your locks rekeyed, you will need new keys to be cut.

Rekeying tends to be more cost effective than replacing the locks entirely. If

you simply lost your key, you can have it rekeyed easily by a professional

locksmith. Having your locks rekeyed is a great opportunity to have a single

key that unlocks all of the doors within your home.

Some reasons you may need to completely replace your lock include a

damaged lock, wanting a lock that looks different than your old lock or if you

want a lock that provides a higher level of security than your current lock. If

you do decide to replace your lock, you can discuss keyless options with

your local locksmith.

Many homeowners are not familiar whit the type of locks they currently have

on their home so the best thing you can do is to contact your local locksmith

to help you decide which option is right for you. Hiring a professional
