Lock Rekey vs. Lock Replacement in Alexandria
Many Alexandria homeowners wonder whether they should rekey or replace. Here's the simple comparison:
- Rekey: Keeps existing hardware, changes internal pins, new keys issued. Cost: typically $15-25 per lock. Best when locks are in good condition.
- Replace: Entirely new lock hardware installed. Cost: $50-200+ per lock. Best when locks are damaged, worn, or you want an upgrade.
For most Alexandria residents, rekeying is the right choice. Your existing locks are probably in fine shape — you just need new keys and peace of mind.
Lock Maintenance in Fairfax County's Climate
Every season brings a reminder: Alexandria's temperate climate with distinct four seasons creates conditions that affect locks differently than homeowners might expect. In particular, seasonal temperature changes cause lock mechanisms to expand and contract. Staying ahead of these issues with professional Lock Rekey prevents inconvenient failures.
Spring is ideal for a lock tune-up — lubricate cylinders and check hardware alignment.
