Rekey vs lock change
A lock change replaces the hardware. Choose it when a lock is damaged, worn out or below the security grade you want. A rekey keeps the hardware and only changes the internal pins. Choose it when the locks work well but the keys are a problem.
Good times to rekey
- You have just moved into a home or apartment.
- A key was lost, stolen or never returned.
- A roommate, tenant or contractor has moved on.
- You want every exterior door on one key.
What happens on the visit
