Rekeying is more or less exactly what it sounds like, it is the act of taking a lock that currently works with one specific key and reconfiguring it so that it will work with a different key, and that is the new key, called rekeying.
There are many advantages, from security standpoint, to having your locks rekeyed whether you need it for home or business use, such as:
- When performing a rekey you can add an unlimited amount of locks to your home or office without needing to carry a large amount of keys.
- Any time you have an employee that is being let go, a roommate or tenant moving out of your home, multi unit investment property or your office building you can have the locks rekeyed as opposed to spending a lot of money for new locks and hardware. You can take away all your worries with changing the locks to work with a new key.
- One of the best features when you rekey is that you can have one that works with only a few locks and another key that works with every lock, such as various doors or cabinets in your home and different offices, file cabinets, closets and other areas in your business, this is also knows as master rekeying.
