What Is Lock Rekeying?
Rekeying is considered a safer and quicker option than replacing locks. The rekeying process involves replacing lock pins in the cylinder, changing the tumbler configuration, and then cutting the new set of keys to open the recently configured lock. Simply put, we change the lock mechanism with lock rekeying, so you can't use your old key to open it. There are many situations in which lock rekeying is ideal, such as:
-
When you buy a new home or commercial space and don't want to waste money on new locks.
-
When you lose your keys, or somebody steals them.
-
When your property has numerous locks with several keys, we can rekey and configure those locks to one key.
-
When you don't want to change your lock because of its appearance or when it's vintage but wish to enhance your security.
-
When your roommates or other living companions move out.
-
When you had a security breach on your commercial property.
-
When you want to restrict a particular area on your commercial property.
-
When construction teams and builders have had their hands on your keys.
Rekeying is generally a cheaper alternative to changing your locks. In most cases, a rekey is possible. Please speak to our team if you'd like to know whether our rekeying in Calgary is right for you. Check out our blog to learn more.
