There may come a time when you are required to change the locks in your home, office or the locks of your car. As a leading trusted locksmith company in New York City, we recommend that you should not change or replace locks unless absolutely necessary. There are other alternatives to changing a lock, such as rekeying existing locks.

This is a great solution if you have lost or misplaced your keys so you rekey your locks because you do not know in what hands your old keys landed.

In some cases, rekeying is not such a great solution because your lock may be old and rusty and can easily be broken into regardless of how many times you rekey it. It may be smarter to invest in a complete new lock that will last you much longer rather than constantly paying to rekey an unreliable lock.
