Lock rekeying is a cost-effective process where a locksmith replaces the internal pins inside your existing lock to ensure it can only be opened with new keys. This avoids the expense of fully replacing locks while still providing security. To rekey a lock, a locksmith analyzes the lock, creates new custom pins, and installs them inside. You then receive new keys matched to the new pins. Rekeying only modifies the lock’s internal pins, not the entire locking mechanism. If you need to fully replace your property’s locks, a locksmith will buy new locksets and install them. However, rekeying your current locks is an affordable solution if you want to enhance security without completely replacing locks. For a dependable and budget-friendly lock rekeying service, consult a professional locksmith.
