| Did you know that changing locks is actually very different from rekeying locks? When folks call us to change their locks, what they often want is a rekey, which is a simpler and less expensive service. Unethical locksmiths sometimes take advantage by not telling you about the difference, so you end up paying much more than you need to. Here's a simple explanation of the difference between changing and rekeying locks. To change locks, we take off your existing lock and install a new one. You don't need to change locks unless your current one has been drilled or is broken beyond repair, or you want to upgrade to a different or more secure lock system. |  |
To rekey locks, we simply change the pins inside your existing lock so that the old key doesn't fit anymore. A lock rekey is a good idea whenever you don't know who might have a key, or you want to keep someone with a key out, such as an abusive ex-spouse. Rekeying the locks is an easy, affordable way to feel safe in your own home. California Locksmith Services is committed to offering fully transparent pricing and services. If fixing a lock rather than changing it is an option, we'll tell you. If rekeying is all you need, we won't try to upsell you on changing your lock. From experience, we know that emergencies sometimes come up; we're available to help you 24/7 so you can sleep well that same night.
