Many people confuse key duplication with rekeying. While both involve keys, they serve very different purposes.
Key Duplication:
- Copies an existing key
- Used when multiple family members or employees need access
- Quick, inexpensive service
Rekeying:
- Alters the internal mechanism of a lock so old keys no longer work
- Ideal when moving to a new home or after a break-in
- Offers more security than duplication
A certified locksmith can help you decide which option fits your needs.
