Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks
Rekeying changes compatible lock cylinders so old keys stop working. Replacement changes the hardware. Condition, compatibility, key-control goals, and budget shape the decision.
Start with accurate information
Describe what happened, the property or vehicle involved, the exact location, and whether any working key remains. A legitimate provider may require proof that you are authorized to access the property or vehicle.
Avoid preventable damage
Do not force keys, pry doors, break windows, or dismantle intact hardware. Damage can increase cost and create safety or security problems.
Confirm before authorizing work
Ask the responding provider to explain the proposed service, estimated total, travel charges, replacement parts, and circumstances that could change the price.
