How rekeying works
Most cylinder locks use small pins of different lengths that line up when the correct key is inserted. Rekeying replaces those pins with a new combination to match a new key. The lock body and hardware stay where they are.

Rekeying Locks in Brunswick
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock cylinder so that it works with a new key and old keys no longer do. If your locks are in good condition, it is a practical way to regain control of who has access.

Common questions
Lock rekeying questions
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
It is often less expensive because the existing hardware is kept, but the actual cost depends on the number and type of locks.
Can all my locks use one key after rekeying?
If the locks share a compatible cylinder type, they can often be keyed alike.
Can every lock be rekeyed?
No. Some locks are not designed to be rekeyed, and worn locks may be better replaced. We will tell you which applies.
