What Is Lock Rekeying & When Do You Need It?
Rekeying is the process of changing the internal pin configuration of your existing lock so that a new key operates it — while the old key no longer works. It\’s one of the most cost-effective security upgrades available to Waterford homeowners and business owners. The warm Southern California sun and occasional Santa Ana winds can warp door frames and affect lock alignment over time, making periodic lock maintenance and rekeying even more important for keeping your property secure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rekeying in Waterford
Can you rekey smart locks and electronic deadbolts?
Yes, many smart locks have rekeyable cylinders for the physical key backup. Our technicians are trained on all major electronic lock brands.
Will rekeying void my lock warranty?
No. Professional rekeying performed by a licensed locksmith does not void manufacturer warranties. We\’re California Licensed and follow all factory specifications.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Yes — rekeying is usually 40-60% less expensive than full lock replacement because we reuse your existing hardware. Only the internal pin configuration is changed to work with new keys.
