Most of us go through many events and changes in our lives that tempt us to change our locks or rekey, for the most fundamental reason, knowing you and your belongings are safe. If you decide it’s an excellent time to ensure your security, your first instinct may be to reach out to a professional to change locks. Like many other homeowners, you may be unaware of the other, more affordable alternative to change your locks- rekeying. Many businesses like to hide this other alternative for simple profit reasons. However, at Smart Pro Locksmith, our main concern is your safety and satisfaction, not profit. Therefore, in this article, we will go over some situations in which it’s a good idea to change your locks or rekey.
If for any reason, you feel like you aren’t the only person who has control of the locks in your home, it’s a good idea to change them or rekey them. Some of these reasons can be the following:
When rekeying, the last parts of the lock are kept, and only a particular portion is taken out to be modified for compatibility with the new key. The task may sound easy. However, it’s pretty delicate, and if it’s not done using the right equipment, the lock must be replaced, so a professional locksmith needs to take care of the job. Aside from this, rekeying is a good option if you lost your keys, are suspicious about having them stolen, or have just moved into a new house.
On the other hand, when you are changing the locks, every single component is switched with a new model. This option is frequently preferred by homeowners who want to improve the security of their houses. For example, if you recently experienced a break-in, most likely your door and lock were forced, and components of your safety were damaged; in this case, it’s a smart idea to change the locks. Additionally, if your locks are rusty and old, they aren’t secure so that you can change them. Since lock replacement is more expensive than rekeying, it’s a good idea to ask a professional before proceeding with the process.
