Lock Rekey Searcy AR

Apptrix Locksmith offers a rekeying service in which our technicians can modify the internal pins in the cylinder of your lock to prevent it from accepting any previously used key, while still allowing new keys that we have cut to be inserted into your lock and turn freely. It will allow you to regain control over your security at a much lower cost than replacing your entire lock hardware. When you have perfectly functioning hardware, but need to change your key access, this is your most practical move.

When to Rekey Your Locks

There are quite a few circumstances under which a rekeying job would be more reasonable than a complete lock replacement. Moving into a new house or apartment is the most obvious example because the previous residents, contractors, realtors, and even neighbors could possibly have duplicate keys. However, there are other instances where rekeying makes a lot of sense such as if you have misplaced your key, have terminated a lease or employment contract, were burglarized or someone tried to break in, or want to remove access to your property after ending a roommate situation. All of these cases involve rekeying being the quickest and cheapest way to restore your security.

What Does a Lock Rekey Involve

In short, rekeying involves removing your lock cylinder, modifying the pin tumbler assembly inside and inserting new pins in place of the old ones. Our lock rekey service will take a short amount of time on site at your residence in Searcy AR, we'll rekey deadbolts, doorknob assemblies, lever hardware and many types of padlocks made by leading brands.

Keying Alike For Ease

We can re-key your locks, so that the various doors in your house or office can be opened using one single key. This will make life easier for you, as you need not carry multiple keys in your purse. This will prove to be extremely useful for house owners, who wish to carry only one key, to open their front door, back door, and the garage door.

Lock Rekey Vs. Lock Replacement

As explained earlier, rekeying makes the most sense when the hardware itself is functioning perfectly fine, but key access needs to be changed. On the other hand, a complete lock replacement is the preferred course of action if you have old, damaged, malfunctioning locks that you wish to replace anyway. We always inspect your lock hardware during the initial visit and recommend what is best for your security, regardless of what will make us the biggest profit.
