Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks: A Guide for Meeker, OK Homeowners

When you need to change who has access to your Meeker, OK home, you have two primary options: rekeying the locks or replacing them entirely. The team at Blackwood Mobile Locksmith can help you decide which is right for you.

Rekeying is a process where a locksmith changes the internal pinning of your existing lock cylinder. The old key will no longer fit or turn the lock. The technician then creates a new key that matches the new pin configuration. As a result of this, you keep your existing doorknobs and deadbolts, but they are operated by a completely new key. It's like getting a new lock without changing the hardware.

Lock replacement is the process of completely removing the old lock hardware (knob, lever, deadbolt) and installing a brand new unit. With this, you get entirely new hardware, which may have a different style, finish, or security level, along with new keys.

When to Replace Your Locks:

Sometimes, a full replacement is necessary or more desirable. Choose to replace your locks if:

• You Want to Upgrade Security: If your current locks are old, low-grade, or you want to move up to a high-security deadbolt, a keypad lock, or a smart lock.
• Your Locks are Damaged or Worn Out: If a lock is rusted, broken, or malfunctioning in a way that can't be repaired, it must be replaced.
• You Are Changing Hardware Styles or Finishes: If you're remodeling your Meeker, OK home and want to update the look of your door hardware (e.g., from brass to matte black), you'll need to replace the locks.
• All Your Locks are Different Brands: If you want a single key solution but your existing locks are from different manufacturers, you'll need to replace them with a single brand before they can be keyed alike.The technicians at Blackwood Mobile Locksmith can quickly assess your needs and your existing hardware to provide a clear recommendation, helping you make the most secure and cost-effective choice for your Meeker, OK home.
