Question 1

What is lock rekeying?

Accepted Answer

Rekeying modifies the internal pin configuration of your lock so existing keys no longer work. A new key is then provided that works with the updated configuration.

Question 2

When should I rekey my locks?

Accepted Answer

Rekey when you move into a new home, after a breakup or roommate change, after losing a key, or anytime you want to ensure previous key holders no longer have access.

Question 3

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, rekeying is significantly more affordable than replacing the entire lock hardware. It provides the same security benefit at a fraction of the cost.

Question 4

Can all locks be rekeyed?

Accepted Answer

Most standard pin-tumbler locks can be rekeyed. Some older or specialty locks may require replacement instead.
