Door Lock Rekey Service

Consider rekeying a door when moving to a new house, as someone else has your key. There are two ways to protect yourself- by rekeying a lock or changing a lock itself. This way you will prevent unauthorized entry by a former landlord or someone else she or he might have given the key. 

You might want to rekey it in case the lock is jammed, broken or you lost your only key and have no spare. 

Nothing lasts forever, even if it's a firm lock mechanism, so you should check how it works from time to time. Wiggle the knob, make sure it opens smoothly. If something's off it's better to change now then later. Here are some of the options you have: 

  • Repair the lock;
  • Replace the lock; 
  • Rekey a lock; 
  • Make a new key and its duplicate. 

Difference between changing a lock and rekeying it is you change the whole lock in the first case, which costs slightly more, in case of rekeying you keep an old lock and replace the key, so that the old one doesn't go with it. Rekeying is a cheaper service.
