At Urich Lock, we recognize that this choice between rekeying the existing locks or opting for a full replacement impacts both your budget and your overall security posture. Drawing on our decades of expertise as a trusted commercial locksmith, we are here to walk you through the factors that influence this decision.
Understanding the Simple Power of Rekeying
Rekeying is a cost-effective procedure where we change the internal pin configuration of an existing lock cylinder. This process immediately invalidates old keys without requiring new hardware. When key control has been compromised, due to a lost key or departing employee, business rekeying is often the fastest and most practical.
When Full Lock Replacement Becomes Necessary
While rekeying is excellent for access control issues, a complete lock replacement is necessary if the lock hardware itself is faulty. If the lock is visibly broken, compromised by a security breach, or if you need an upgrade to a higher security mechanism (like high-security cylinders or electronic systems), a full replacement is the only way to guarantee maximum protection.
Prioritizing Security with Commercial Locksmith Expertise
Our role as a commercial locksmith is to assess the condition of your current systems and recommend the best path forward. We consider factors like the age of the hardware, its resilience against picking or drilling, and any insurance requirements you may have. We never push for unnecessary replacement just a genuine solution to modern threats.
