Should I rekey my locks or replace them?
Rekey if your locks are in good working condition and you just need to retire old keys. Replace if the hardware is damaged, badly worn, or you want to upgrade to higher-security or smart locks.
If your locks turn smoothly, the deadbolts close cleanly, and the only issue is that other people might still have keys, your Knightdale, NC locksmith can rekey instead of replacing. Rekeying changes the internal pins so a brand-new key works and every old key stops working.
Replace your locks when the hardware is damaged, the finish is failing, the lock is more than 15 years old, or you want a different style — for example, going from a basic deadbolt to a smart lock. Your Knightdale, NC locksmith can recommend the right ANSI-graded hardware for your door.
Cost-wise, rekeying an existing set of cylinders in Knightdale, NC is typically more affordable than replacing all the locks, especially when you upgrade to high-security or smart hardware. Call 919-343-9794 for a flat phone quote.
