Lock rekeying is a service that involves altering the internal mechanisms of a lock so that it can be operated by a new key. This is an effective way to enhance security without the need for full lock replacement.

Process:
Assessment: A locksmith evaluates the existing lock to determine if rekeying is feasible.
Disassembly: The locksmith removes the lock from the door for rekeying.
 Changing Pins: The internal pins of the lock are replaced or adjusted to match the new key.
Reassembly: The lock is reassembled and reinstalled in the door.
Testing: The locksmith tests the lock with the new key to ensure proper functionality.

Benefits:
Cost-Effective: Rekeying is generally cheaper than replacing the entire lock.
Enhanced Security: Ideal for situations like moving into a new home or after losing a key, providing peace of mind.
Convenience: One key can be created to work on multiple locks if desired.
