Lock Rekeying

The process of altering the keys on a computer is known as re-keying.

Lock rekeying is a low-cost security option.

When you move into a new home, are worried about office security, or are simply concerned about your safety after giving away a spare key, rekeying your locks is a simple and cost-effective solution to maintain the safety and security of your home or company.

The majority of locks employ the double-pin method. Each individual key raises the bottom set of pins in a pre-programmed pattern, allowing the top pins to rise over the shear line, allowing the lock to revolve freely. The incorrect key holds some or all of the top pins below that line, forming a barrier that prevents the lock from being opened.

In a rekeying process, a professional locksmith gains access to the lock and changes the code that opens it. Although it just takes a few minutes each lock, it does need specialist expertise in order to avoid harming the lock.

Another potential problem is the use of master key systems. Master keys function on the same fundamental principle as regular keys, but each lock is designed to take at least two keys. One is the specific key that unlocks that particular lock, while the other is a master key that pushes the higher pins over the shear line in a similar but not identical sequence. Using multiple lower pins can sometimes enhance security. The most common use of these pins is in the workplace. It is also possible to rekey master keys, but avoiding security breaches requires a well-considered strategy.
