What Is Lock Rekeying and Why You Need It
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock, so old keys stop working and only your new key will operate it. It’s an efficient and affordable way to secure your property without buying entirely new hardware.
Top reasons Fair Oaks homeowners choose rekeying:
Lost or stolen keys
Moving into a new home
Change of tenants or roommates
After contractors, cleaners, or maintenance staff had access
Divorce or change of ownership
Desire for one-key convenience across multiple doors
With rekeying, you save money and gain peace of mind knowing only authorized people can enter your home.
