Change your key without changing the lock. Did you know you can change the key that operates your home, business, or car without incurring the cost of purchasing a new lock? Lock rekeying is fast, easy, and can be done in our vans or our shop by a trained locksmith at a convenient time.

Lock rekeying (sometimes called “changing the locks”) is the process of giving your lock a new key combination, so only a new key can open it. Some experts recommend rekeying your locks every few years. However, there are specific instances when it is always a good idea to rekey your lock:

• If you have lost your key
• If too many others have had access to your key in the past
• When you have recently had a breakup, or someone has moved out.
• If you’re moving into a new home
• When your key has been in the hands of housekeeping or construction teams
• When a property owner no longer employs or wants to continue to provide access to their home or business to a key holder.

In these cases, the lock is still perfectly functional and doesn’t need replacement, which is more costly. We can change components of the lock, so that old keys no longer work. Then, we make keys for the rekeyed locks, and the service is complete.

Essentially, it is recommended that you consider lock rekeying any time the keys have spent time away from your control. Remember, it takes only 30 minutes for someone to make as many copies of your key as they want, and a “do not copy” warning rarely stops them. The more people who have had access to your key in the past, the more you should consider a rekeying service.
