Lock rekeying is a great way to secure your home or business. It’s a viable alternative to completely changing out locks when you’ve already got a decent set of locks.
What Is A Lock Rekey?
A lock rekey refers to a process in which a locksmith modifies the inside of a lock to accept a different key. The teeth of a key are a code that’s read by the inside of a lock; when a lock is rekeyed the code inside the lock is changed making the old keys no longer work.
Rekeying is typically done when there’s a security concern involving lost, overly copied or stolen keys, as an alternative to completely changing out the locks. A lock rekey is only an viable option when you already have good locks; it can’t make bad locks better.
When Should I Rekey?
A lock rekey is usually recommended to a business when a key holding employee is fired or quits. Since this individual no longer should be able to access the business but may retain a copy of the key, rekeying allows the owner to know exactly who has their keys.
24 Hour Locksmith L.A. recommends lock rekeys when a roommate or significant other moves out. It’s also advisable to rekey when a new home is purchased as well as any time there’s a fear that someone may have access to the home.
