What is a Rekey Locks Service?

Rekeying is done when a home locksmith alters the locks that are already on your door. It’s not the same as changing the lock for a new one. Locks on home doors are the same as those found on other buildings, machinery, or automobiles. In some circumstances, they don’t have to be entirely overhauled, even if it may appear that way to you.

Think of a mechanical clock, with its numerous gears and gaskets that allow one to tell what time it is. If one gear breaks, there’s no reason to buy an entirely new watch to fix one interchangeable part. Door locks work the same way. A rekey locksmith can evaluate the lock, see what inside is broken or requires fixing and do a rekey locks on-the-spot.

You won’t get any damage to your doors, hinges, or any other locks that are attached to the same door. To rekey, another combination is given to the lock.

This is what makes the service useful for people that have their old keys lost or stolen. And with the combination is a new code for you to receive a brand new key, one entirely different from the other which cannot be found.

Common Reasons to Rekey a Lock

Need your locks rekeyed? Here are some of the primary reasons people call Red Rocks Locksmith for this:

• Losing keys – Lost keys make up the largest volume of issues that customers have for getting in touch with a rekey locksmith. Have you ever lost a key before? Even if the key ends up being found somewhere later, there’s no telling when that would happen. Home doors are the same as vaults, the main layer of protection that people rely on. The safety of your valuables such as money and electronics is dependent on one lock that’s embedded in your door. When it doesn’t work well, it could easily be manipulated to open by someone that isn’t the owner. Rekeying takes care of this.
  
• Others using keys or key copies – It’s common to lend out keys to friends and family. But the more often you lend them out, the more likely you are to have them turn up missing. And if that happens, there’s no way of knowing who ends up with the missing key. If an opportunist were to try and use the missing key on your newly rekeyed lock, they would quickly find themselves disappointed. Simply put, rekey work done by a local locksmith keeps the honest man honest.
  
• Breakups – Many people have been in this quagmire. But what can be done when the breakup happens after someone leaves with the door keys, hoping to sneak inside when their ex isn’t there? If you’ve had this happen recently, you should get a new combination and new locks, regardless of how much you trust your ex.
  
• Moving to a new location – This is another major reason that customers call locksmiths. Can you imagine the number of people that could potentially have copied the keys to a house or apartment you’ve just moved in? Before saying hello to the neighbors, you should consider that they might know the layout of your house already, then get your locks updated.
