Lock Rekey Collierville TN

One of the best services a locksmith has to offer is lock rekeying. TechForge Locksmith provides professional lock rekey service in Collierville TN for residential and commercial clients. Lock rekeying is a service that changes the internal pin configuration inside your current lock cylinder so that a new key is now the only one that operates the lock, with all copies of the old key unable to open the door. It is a cost effective option for regaining full control over who enters your home or business.

There are a lot of circumstances where rekeying a lock is a good idea. If you have just purchased a home, you have no idea how many copies of the old key are floating around, making rekeying a necessity. If a roommate has left, a relationship has ended, or someone who used to have access to your business has left on bad terms, rekeying their key ensures that they cannot enter your home or business again. If you have lost a key and have no idea where it is, rekeying eliminates any uncertainty.

How Does Lock Rekey Work

Inside the lock cylinder, there are pin tumblers. These are small, spring loaded pins of varying heights. The pattern of cuts on your key is designed so that it lifts each stack of pin tumblers to just the right height, so that it can turn and open the lock. To rekey a lock, a locksmith takes it apart, installs new pin stacks of varying heights, and cuts a new key. The lock is now rekeyed, looking and working exactly as it did before, but now it can be opened only with the new key.

TechForge Locksmith can rekey almost any type of residential or commercial lock, including Schlage, Kwikset, Weiser, Defiant, and many more. We can also rekey all of the locks in your home so that they can all be operated with a single key. This is a great feature, especially when you also have the benefit of increased security.

Cost Effective and Very Reliable Service

The cost of rekeying is much but much less than replacing the entire lock, so if you have locks in place and they are in good working condition, but you need a change of keys, rekeying is the way to go. It is a much more cost effective option and if your lock is in bad condition or is of a very low grade, we may recommend replacing it. We are honest about this, and we will recommend it if we believe it is for your best interest.
