Lock Rekeying

What Is Rekeying

What Is Lock Rekeying?

Rekeying is the process of changing the internal pins inside a lock cylinder so that the old key no longer works and a new key operates the lock. It's a cost-effective alternative to full lock replacement when the lock hardware itself is in good condition. The result is the same — only a new key can open your lock — at a fraction of the cost.

• Internal pins are reconfigured to match a new key
• Old keys immediately become useless
• Same lock hardware — no need to replace the entire unit
• Can rekey multiple locks to a single master key
• Available for all major lock brands
