Rekeying Your Locks

Rekeying is the solution when you move into a new place and don't know who has copies of the previous owner's keys, or when you've lost a key and can't be sure it won't be used to get inside. The locksmith opens the lock, removes and replaces the pins, and gives you new keys that work only with the rekeyed lock. The lock itself stays mounted on the door — nothing is replaced.

Landlords and property managers in East Rutherford use rekeying between tenants so each tenant has their own set of keys and previous tenants' keys become useless. You can also have multiple locks rekeyed to work with a single key, called keyed alike, so you only carry one key for your front door, back door and garage. This is especially useful in rental properties or multi-unit buildings.

Rekeying is less expensive than replacing the entire lock and works on knob locks, deadbolts and mortise locks. Have your ID and proof of address ready, and let the locksmith know which locks you want rekeyed and whether you'd like them keyed alike.
