When to rekey versus replace
Many people call a home locksmith because they are not sure if they should rekey or replace the lock. Rekeying is often best after moving, losing a key, or changing who has access because it keeps the same hardware and changes which keys work. Replacing the lock may be better when the hardware is damaged, hard to use, or not secure enough.
This page gives a simple overview, while the rekey and lock change pages give more detail if you want to compare those options.
