Lock Rekey West Memphis AR
Avora Locksmith provides professional rekeying services in West Memphis, Arkansas. Rekeying is a procedure whereby the interior pin configuration of your existing lock is changed such that any old keys wont fit while new keys can operate the new lock cylinder. It is cheaper and easier than replacing the entire lock set. Rekeying becomes necessary if your existing lock set is still in good shape but needs a change in key access control.
Reasons Why You Should Rekey Your Locks
In certain circumstances, rekeying is preferred to lock replacement. Most people opt to rekey their locks when they move into a new house because there might be copies of the keys with the seller or landlord, previous tenants, contractors or real estate agent who might still have copies of the keys. Other instances where you would consider rekeying your locks include:
- Loss of keys.
- Ending a relationship with a partner roommate.
- When there's been a burglary break-in.
- After termination of employment when the person held the keys before.
In all of these cases our lock rekey service can restore your security quickly, cheaply and quite easily.
The Process of Lock Rekey
It statrts with removing your existing lock cylinder from your door hardware and then we disassemble the lock, removing its pins and replacing them with new ones which are keyed according to your newly cut key. No other part of your lock except the cylinder will be altered during the rekeying process. It only takes us a couple of minutes to rekey your lock and well do it in your premises within West Memphis AR.
Keying Your Locks Alike for Added Convenience
Your locks don't necessarily have to use different keys. At Avora Locksmith, we can make sure that you only carry one key which opens every lock on the premises. This is particularly important for those houses whose entrances are protected by locks requiring multiple different keys. Keying alike means that one lock will open the rest of the doors. This also works well for commercial properties with many access points.
Difference between Lock Rekey and Lock Replacement
Rekeying makes sense when your locks are still in good shape, in other words, they still function effectively, then when your locks have worn out beyond repair or are too old for use, a replacement is necessary. Similarly, when you want higher security level than currently provided by your locks or want to install an electronic lock, a replacement will be needed.
