Rekeying
Definition Rekeying involves adjusting the
internal components of a lock so that it can
be operated by a new key. The process does not
require replacing the entire lock but focuses on
altering the locks configuration to match a
different key. Cost-Effective AV Locksmiths
understands that cost is a significant factor for
many clients. Rekeying is generally more
affordable than changing locks since it doesnt
involve replacing the entire lock hardware.

Preserves Existing Hardware Rekeying allows
homeowners or businesses to retain their
existing locks. This is particularly useful when
the current locks are in good condition, and AV
Locksmiths ensures that the rekeying process
maintains the integrity of the existing
hardware. Key Management AV Locksmiths often
recommends rekeying in situations where there is
a concern about compromised keys, such as lost or
stolen ones. By rekeying the lock, the old keys
become obsolete, and only the new set of keys
provided by AV Locksmiths will work. Quick
Process Rekeying is a relatively quick process,
and AV Locksmiths ensures a swift solution for
those who need to address security concerns
promptly. Their team of professionals is
experienced in efficiently rekeying locks to
provide immediate security enhancements.

Changing Locks
Definition Changing locks involves the complete
replacement of the lock mechanism, including the
lock cylinder, bolt, and other components. This
results in an entirely new set of keys being
required to operate the lock. Comprehensive
Security Upgrade AV Locksmiths recommends
changing locks for clients seeking a more
comprehensive security upgrade. This is
particularly beneficial when dealing with
worn-out or damaged locks or when there is a
desire to upgrade to higher-security options.

Opportunity for Technological Advancements One
notable advantage of changing locks is the
opportunity to install advanced security systems.
AV Locksmiths offers expertise in installing
technologically advanced lock systems, such as
smart locks, providing keyless entry, remote
monitoring, and integration with home automation
systems. Aesthetics and Condition Changing
locks allows for a fresh start, making it
suitable when the existing locks are visibly
worn. AV Locksmiths takes into consideration the
aesthetics and condition of the locks, ensuring
that the replacement not only enhances security
but also meets the clients preferences. Key
Consideration for Property Purchase AV
Locksmiths often recommends changing locks when
moving into a new home or business property. This
ensures that previous occupants or individuals
with access to the old keys are unable to gain
entry, offering a crucial layer of security.
