About Rekeying
Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so the old keys no longer work, while the lock hardware stays on the door. The pins inside the cylinder are replaced to match a new key. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to regain control of who can get into your home.
Rekeying makes sense after moving into a new home, after a lost or stolen key, when a tenant or roommate moves out, or when you want several locks to work with one key. If the lock itself is worn or damaged, replacing it may make more sense than rekeying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying keeps your existing lock and changes which key opens it. Replacing installs new hardware. If your locks are in good condition, rekeying is usually the simpler option.
Should I rekey after buying a home?
It is a good idea. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist, and rekeying makes sure only your keys work.
