Professional Lock Rekeying for San Antonio, TX

Whether you have just bought a new home or you’re looking to increase the security of business, the idea of changing your locks may come to mind. As a property owner there are a couple of different options available, all depending on your situation. The first solution is completely replacing the existing doors altogether to match your style and security needs. Secondly, the option of completing a full lock system replacement or a new lock installation. Lastly, there is the concept of lock rekeying, which has increasingly become a popular solution for many business & homeowners.   



Lock rekeying involves the readjustment of an existing locking mechanism to match its functionality to a completely new key. The process of rekeying locks allows for the current property owners to enhance their home or business security against those of a previous owner. Not only does this mitigate the chance someone has a replica of your current locking system, it’s also cost-effective since you are utilizing an existing locking system and door. 

To begin your lock rekeying, our locksmith will remove the entire lock body from your door to gain access to the lock cylinder. As the main section of a lock system, the cylinder houses all the inner workings and the important key pins or “tumblers.” On average, there is a series of 5 different pin sizes set to a unique pattern of depths, making up the form of the key. Once we have access to these pins and combinations, a new pattern can be designed and installed to match any new key, rendering the old key unusable and worthless. 

From its cost-effective and timely method to giving you peace of mind, the lock rekeying process is truly one of the better options in the industry today to keeping your property safe from past owners. While a completely new lock system is overall one of the top options for rekeying locks, the price point can rise quickly with the addition of the number of doors you wish to change.
