Lock Replacement vs. Rekeying: What to Choose for Your Home
https://homeentrynotes.capitaljays.com/posts/lock-replacement-vs.-rekeying-what-to-choose-for-your-home
Deciding whether to replace or rekey your home's locks depends on your situation. If your locks are old, damaged, or you want enhanced security features, a full replacement is best. For a quick, affordable fix—like after moving into a new place or losing a key—rekeying just changes the internal pins so old keys won't work, keeping your existing hardware. Both options boost safety, so choose based on your needs and budget.
