Moving into a new home ? apartment ? you have one basic question to ask yourself : am i the only one in possession of my house keys??

Have you lost your house keys ? have they been stolen ?

There are two ways this important security measure can be done: either you change the whole lock or you rekey the existing lock

Lock change:

When you order the services of a locksmith it is advised that you review a few lock types, this can be done on the spot by a certified San Francisco locksmith.

A few examples of lock types:

DEAD BOLT
MORTIS LOCK
KEYPAD

After receiving a brief description about the various lock types, you can make an informed decision about the level of security you are expecting from the new lock.

Please note that not all locks are easily installed, locks that do not fit your door must be custom fitted, this process takes more time more skill and in turn raises the cost of installation.

Lock Rekey:

This is a more economical option as opposed to Changing the whole lock.

How can you rekey my lock?

When a certified locksmith rekeys your lock he must dismantle the lock and tumbler and reposition the pins, after the pins have been repositioned the "old" key wont have the correct spacing to correctly align the pins.

I don't know which service i should choose, rekeying or replacing????

If you:

Have a rusty lock
Need to constantly "jiggle" your key
Are looking to heighten your security level

Then a lock change is the way to go

If you:

Are short on cash
Are happy with your existing lock
Recently installed a new lock but lost the key
Renting for a short term

Then a rekey is just as good for you.
