Rekeyjärjestelmiä

Rekeyjärjestelmiä, or rekeying systems, refers to the process of changing the internal mechanisms of a lock cylinder so that it operates with a different key. This is a common security measure and a practical solution for various situations.

Rekeying is often performed when a key is lost or stolen, to prevent unauthorized access to a property. It is also a good option when a tenant moves out, ensuring the new occupant has sole access to the premises. Furthermore, rekeying can be used to consolidate multiple locks to operate with a single key, offering convenience and simplified key management. This is particularly useful for businesses with numerous doors or for homeowners with many deadbolts.

The process of rekeying involves disassembling the lock cylinder and replacing the pins or tumblers inside with new ones that correspond to a different key. A locksmith or a trained individual can perform this service. While it is possible for some individuals to rekey their own locks with the right tools and knowledge, it is generally recommended to hire a professional to ensure the lock is properly secured and functions correctly. Rekeying is typically less expensive than replacing the entire lock hardware, making it an economical choice for enhancing security or improving key convenience.
