Lock Rekey vs. Lock Replacement in Norfolk

Many Norfolk 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 Norfolk residents, rekeying is the right choice. Your existing locks are probably in fine shape — you just need new keys and peace of mind.

How Norfolk's Weather Impacts Your Lock Hardware

Savvy property owners have learned: the moderate climate with warm summers and cool winters in Norfolk County takes a toll on lock mechanisms over time. Specifically, seasonal temperature changes cause lock mechanisms to expand and contract. For Norfolk property owners, this means proactive Lock Rekey isn't optional — it's essential maintenance.

Seasonal tip for Norfolk residents: Spring is ideal for a lock tune-up — lubricate cylinders and check hardware alignment.

Our Norfolk technicians see these climate-related lock issues regularly. We recommend hardware and maintenance approaches calibrated to the conditions your Norfolk County property actually faces.
