THE PROCESS OF REKEYING:

THE SHERLOCK WAY

To help you in rekeying your locks, we want our clients to understand what rekeying the lock will entail and what impact it provides to your car locks and ignition. The work “rekey,” as the name implies, is the process of reconfiguring the wafers inside your lock cylinder to enable work with your original car key without compromising the status of your car locks. Perhaps it sounds simple to someone who’s planning to DIY it, but it is a very risky and difficult procedure if you are not a well-trained locksmith. This is where our team of professional locksmiths at Sherlock come in.

Simply put, you will get to keep your old key, but the key you were using beforehand will no longer function with a rekeyed lock, as it is reconfigured to work into your other keys. Here at Sherlock Locksmith, we are backed up with the extensive training, knowledge, and experience to easily handle your lock rekeying and provide the best quality results – all at an affordable price.

For us to effectively rekey your lock, we will need your permission as an automobile owner to access your car’s lock cylinder. In these types of procedures, we at Sherlock always advise that you leave these kinds of work to the professionals to avoid complications and further damage. By not engaging the services of a professional locksmith, you are risking the safety of rekeying by doing it yourself and trying to save money. In fact, it will cost you even more if you try to do it yourself and cause more damage instead. It’s a must to know that you have high risks of jeopardizing the security of your car if you decide to carry out this process on your own.

When we rekey your locks, we put our full focus on your lock cylinder as well as the keys that will fit within the cylinder. It is very important that these two are aligned; Otherwise, your car will not unlock. These are the major components we re-engineer in the rekeying process.
