Lock rekeying is a great alternative to completely changing out locks. This service is cheaper than completely changing out locks because there is no overhead price. It’s considered an excellent option when the locks of your residence or business are already great locks; a rekey can’t improve how secure bad locks are.
A lock rekey refers to a process in which a locksmith modifies the inside of a lock to accept a different key. The teeth of a key are a code that’s read by the inside of a lock; when a lock is rekeyed the code inside the lock is changed making the old keys no longer work. At this point the business owner or resident is given a new key to copy and distribute as they see fit.
You should consider rekeying your business after you’ve fired or had a key holding employee quit. Even if they’ve returned their key, they may still have copies. This is especially important if there were unsavory circumstances that led to them leaving your business. A lock rekey will assure than any spare keys that may be floating around are no longer viable.
