What rekeying changes?
The lock remains on the door, but its internal pin combination changes. Old keys no longer operate it. When compatible locks are rekeyed alike, one new key can operate multiple doors.
Rekeying does not repair broken or severely worn hardware. Cris will explain when replacement is the better value instead of charging for a temporary fix.
When to schedule a rekey?
