locksmith Cleveland re key service
Rekeying is the process of adjusting a lock to work with a new key. By rekeying a lock it allows the owner to use a different key to open the same lock. Often, rekeying can be used to make sure the old owners of the lock cannot get in without having to install a new lock. Rekeying was invented by Solomon Andrews, a New Jersey locksmith, in 1836. The lock Andrew developed had adjustable tumblers allowing the owner to re-key their lock whenever they would need it. The technology Andrews developed would go on to be used in combination locks. In the 1850s Andrews patented the technology that would allow them to remove the tumblers so they could scramble them creating greater flexibility. The term is also used in internet security and computer security. It is difficult to know which process should be used to enhance your security. Whether or not you should rekey your locks or get new ones should be left up to a professional. That is why it’s usually advisable to call your local Locksmith.
