Lock Replacement
You might need to have your locks replaced and recoded for any number of reasons, such as moving into a new house, misplacing your keys or if you have security concerns and would like to have new locks installed at your property. Regardless of the reason, Alchin Locksmiths have the care and attention to detail to safely recode or replace your household locks on doors, security doors and any other locks you may have.
Alchin Locksmiths’s lock replacement process
Lock replacement or recoding involves altering the internal pins or wafers of a lock to change its keying configuration. This process is usually done for security reasons, such as when keys are lost or stolen, or when there’s a need to restrict access to certain individuals.
Assessment: Firstly, the existing lock needs to be assessed to determine whether it’s more cost-effective to replace it entirely or to rekey it. When you contact Alchin Locksmiths, we will arrange for one of our mobile locksmiths to come to you to assess the issue.
Rekeying: Rekeying involves disassembling the lock cylinder and replacing the pins or wafers inside with new ones of varying sizes. This renders the old keys useless, as they will no longer align with the new pin configuration. Rekeying is a quicker and less expensive option compared to replacing the entire lock.
Replacing the Lock: If the lock is old or damaged or if security features need to be upgraded, replacing the lock entirely might be the best option. This involves removing the old lock and installing a new one. It also ensures that all keys to the old lock become useless.
Should I attempt to replace a lock myself?
