Introduction to Lock Rekeying Services

Our Lock Rekeying Services Process

When you contact Atlanta Locksmith Organization at (404) 476-6951, our streamlined rekeying process ensures minimal disruption to your day while maximizing your security. First, our experienced locksmith arrives at your location with all necessary tools and equipment. We begin with a thorough assessment of your existing locks to determine their condition and compatibility with rekeying services.

Next, we carefully remove the lock cylinder from each door without causing any damage to your doors or frames. Inside the cylinder, we replace the existing pins with new ones that correspond to your new key pattern. This precise work requires specialized knowledge and tools to ensure that each lock functions perfectly with your new keys. Throughout the process, we test each lock multiple times to guarantee smooth operation.

Finally, we provide you with your new keys, typically cutting multiple copies on-site so you have extras for family members or employees. We also document which locks have been rekeyed and ensure that all old keys are accounted for. Before leaving, we verify that every rekeyed lock operates flawlessly and answer any questions you may have about maintaining your newly secured locks.

Common Situations Requiring Lock Rekeying Services

Moving Into a New Home or Office: One of the most common reasons people contact us for rekeying is after purchasing or renting a new property. You never truly know how many copies of the keys exist or who might have them, making rekeying an essential first step in securing your new space.

Lost or Stolen Keys: When keys go missing, you face uncertainty about whether they'll end up in the wrong hands. Rather than worrying, rekeying immediately eliminates any security risk by rendering those lost keys useless.

After a Break-In: If your property has experienced a burglary or attempted break-in, rekeying is crucial to restore your sense of security. This ensures that if keys were stolen or duplicated, they can no longer provide access to your property.

Employee Turnover: Businesses frequently need rekeying services when employees leave the company, especially if those employees had keys to the premises. Collecting keys isn't always foolproof, as copies may have been made, making rekeying the only certain solution.

Ending Relationships: When roommate situations change or relationships end, rekeying provides peace of mind by ensuring that former occupants can no longer access the property.

Key Accountability Issues: If you've distributed many keys over the years and lost track of who has copies, rekeying allows you to start fresh with better key control and accountability.

Understanding Lock Rekeying vs. Lock Replacement

Many customers ask us whether they should rekey their locks or replace them entirely. In most situations, rekeying is the more economical choice and provides the same security benefits as replacement. The primary advantage of rekeying is that you maintain your existing hardware, which is particularly beneficial if you have quality locks already installed or if your locks match your property's aesthetic.

However, lock replacement becomes necessary when your existing locks are damaged, worn out, or outdated. If your locks stick, keys are difficult to turn, or the locks show visible signs of wear or tampering damage, replacement might be the better option. Our locksmiths will honestly assess your locks and recommend the most appropriate solution for your specific situation.

Maintaining Your Rekeyed Locks

After we rekey your locks, proper maintenance ensures they continue functioning smoothly for years to come. We recommend periodically lubricating your locks with graphite powder or silicone-based lubricant—never oil-based products that can attract dirt and cause the mechanism to stick. Insert your key fully before turning to prevent unnecessary wear on the pins inside the cylinder.

Pay attention to how your keys and locks feel during regular use. If you notice any sticking, difficulty turning, or unusual resistance, contact us for a professional inspection. These early warning signs often indicate that simple maintenance can prevent more serious problems down the road.

Keep your new keys in good condition by avoiding excessive force when using them and storing them properly when not in use. Bent or worn keys can damage the newly configured pins inside your rekeyed locks, potentially requiring additional service.
