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 Laytonville 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.
