Lock Rekeyin Greensboro, NC

What is Lock Rekey?

Lock rekeying changes the key that operates your lock without replacing the lock itself. Inside every pin tumbler lock is a series of spring-loaded pins cut to specific lengths that match your key's cuts. During rekeying, a locksmith removes the lock cylinder, replaces the existing pins with new ones of different lengths, and cuts new keys to match. The lock housing, exterior hardware, strike plate, and door modifications all remain unchanged.
