Rekeying Your Locks
Rekeying is useful after you move into a home or apartment in Guttenberg, when a key has been lost or stolen, or between tenants in a rental. The locksmith removes the lock cylinder, changes the pins inside, and reinstalls it. Your old keys will not open the lock anymore, but the lock itself stays in place.
You'll receive new keys that work with the rekeyed lock. If you want, the locksmith can key several doors alike so one key opens all of them. This is common for apartment buildings or homes with multiple entrances.
Have your ID and proof of address ready. If you rent, bring a lease or recent utility bill. Tell the locksmith which locks need rekeying — the front door, back door, mailbox, or others. The locksmith can advise on whether rekeying or replacing the lock is better for your situation.
