Locksmiths should all honestly tell you that making duplicate keys is a simple straightforward and relatively inexpensive process and even if all the keys have been handed over to you at the time of home transfer, it is suggested to have all the locks re-keyed or replaced with the new ones. You never know if the previous tenants made duplicate keys of all the locks. If all the locks are in working condition, having them re-keyed is not a big deal.
The process of re-keying requires the locksmith
to make new keys for the lock and then modifying the mechanism inside the lock so it works perfectly with the new keys. If you have decided to get your lock re-keyed, you can use the same key for opening all the locks in your house. This is a good option for all the people who don’t like carrying a lot of keys trying to find the right one for a particular lock.
