There are many reasons you might want to rekey or change the locks to your home. Rekeying means your locksmith will change the lock’s existing key to a new key without replacing the entire lock. Changing the locks means switching out the entire mechanism plus the key.
Rekeying
Home rekeying in Orlando is a cost-effective solution to changing the locks. All locks can be rekeyed, so although it’s the same lock, it’s as effective a solution as a total replacement. Rekeying is also an excellent way to create a master key that opens multiple locks.
Lock Replacement
When you want to switch to a different color or design, consider lock replacement. You may also want to upgrade your security to electronic access or higher-grade locking mechanisms. If your home has several different lock brands, changing them all to a single brand means you can create a master key.
Reasons to Make the Switch
There are a few reasons you might want to have your home rekeyed, or the locks changed:
- You don’t know who else has a key. This concern is especially valid when you move into a new place.
- You lost a copy of your key and worry someone may have found it.
- You want to prevent someone who has a key from entering the house.
From new tenants to a lost key, lock replacement and rekeying are standard procedures for an experienced locksmith.
