Locks & Keys
Rekeying is the process of changing the internal pins of a lock so it operates with a different key, rather than replacing the entire lock. This is a cost-effective security solution when you need to change who has access to your property.
You should rekey your locks when moving into a new property, after losing keys, when employees or tenants move out, or if you suspect someone has unauthorized access to your keys.
Replace locks when they are damaged, worn out, or outdated. Also consider replacement if you want to upgrade to higher security locks or if your current locks are incompatible with your security needs.
Yes, we can create a master key system where all your locks work with the same key, or we can set up a system with different keys for different areas while maintaining a master key for overall access.
Yes, we can cut new keys from your existing key code or create replacement keys using our professional key cutting equipment. If your key is too worn, we may need to rekey the lock and provide new keys.
A hard-to-turn key often indicates a lock that needs lubrication, cleaning, or repair. Call us to have a technician inspect and service your lock to restore smooth operation and prevent further damage.
