Rekeying - The Locksmith Specialty

Rekeying, also called a combination change, involves modifying the internal mechanism of a lock so that it works only with a new key. 

Rekeying can be done with the existing key or without a key, for example in cases of loss or theft, thanks to a professional locksmith. 

It prevents anyone with the old key from accessing your home or premises, making it ideal after moving or changing tenants. 

Rekeying is cheaper than a complete lock replacement, as it preserves the existing cylinder and mechanism. 

A new key can be created, or multiple locks can be keyed alike so they open with one single key, simplifying access management. 

The process is fast, often done on-site, without fully dismantling the lock, while keeping the mechanism and existing aesthetics intact.
