Lock Change or Rekey: Which One Should You Choose?

RE-KEYING LOCKS

If you are not familiar with the rekey process, rekeying is merely changing the interior of the lock, allowing it to now be operated by a new, different key. Re-keying eliminates access from the original key without affecting the lock’s exterior appearance.

RE-KEYING AND KEY PROGRAMMING SERVICES

Almost any type of lock can be re-keyed. You can re-key the lock on your car door and your car’s ignition, not to mention the basic re-keying of your home or office door locks. Here are a list of re-keying services Denver Locksmith offers:

  • Office/business re-keying services
  • Car key replacement
  • Home key replacement
  • New keys and key copies
  • Car ignition and broken key repair
  • Key programming and key chip programming
  • Remote control programming

First, when you buy a used car, a home, or an apartment, you do not know who else has been given your keys. To keep yourself, your family, and your property safe, it is best to rekey the locks altogether.

When it comes to cars, most vehicles today use the same key for the door and the ignition, so re-keying the lock means also rekeying the ignition. Another scenario is that the door has a programmed key, which we can easily reprogram. If your car fob has a programmed key or a chip, Denver Locksmith can help change the chip so that you can still have access to your car or vehicle, but previous owners won’t. This is the same concept as rekeying locks, except it changes the electronics in the key, as opposed to the lock itself. This same concept is used to reprogram house keys, such as door keys or room keys. The process takes very little time, and it also keeps your rooms and homes safe from the entry of unauthorized persons. This is undoubtedly a much better option than replacing the entire lock each time a new key is needed.

If you need a key replacement, Denver Locksmith is here to help. Whether you have a broken key fob for your car or you lost your electronic key, our master key maker and the programmer can help make sure your vehicle or home is safe and operates smoothly without needing to replace your car’s entire locking mechanisms. This is especially critical when dealing with programmable keys, which can be quite costly to replace if the entire system needs replacing. Our car locksmith team can come to you and replace key fobs, saving you time and money since you don’t have to go to the dealership.

Even in the worst-case scenarios, Denver Locksmith can aid you by becoming your go-to key maker for Denver locks. Change may not be what you’re looking for, so we can also offer to make key copies for different members of your family, too! This ensures that you do not experience any additional difficulties or restrictions in the access of your residential properties.
