Rekey vs. Lock Change
When changing the key is enough and when the hardware itself may need replacement.
Quick answer: When changing the key is enough and when the hardware itself may need replacement.
Rekeying changes the key
A rekey typically changes the lock cylinder configuration so old keys no longer operate it.
Replacement changes hardware
Changing the lock replaces some or all of the physical lock hardware.
Condition matters
Damaged, worn or incompatible hardware may make replacement more practical.
Think about key control
Move-ins, lost keys and staff turnover are common reasons to review who can still access a property.
