Re Key - Old Lock, New Keys
Don't Replace; Rekey
Replacing a lock entirely is not the only option after the loss of a key. Instead of spending a formidable amount on buying and installing a new lock, a quicker, less costly approach is available. A process known as rekeying adjusts the current lock to fit new keys without the hassle and cost of having to install a new lock. Pacific Locksmith employees have extensive experience with the rekey process.
The History of Rekeying
Modern combination locks are based on one of the earliest method of rekeying. A locksmith from New Jersey named Solomon Andrews invented the first version of rekeying in 1836, when he created a lock with tumblers and keys that were constantly adjustable. In this manner, the owner could rekey his or her own lock whenever necessary. The business of rekeying became slightly more sophisticated when inventors named Andrews and Newell came up with the idea of removable tumblers in the 1850s that could be physically separated and then mixed up. These later lock versions had corresponding key parts that matched the various tumbler outputs, much like jigsaw pieces. Today, Pacific Locksmith uses more advanced techniques to adjust locks so that they fit new keys.
