San Francisco Locksmiths

Well we hate to burst any bubbles, but there are some high security locks that can’t be rekeyed. If you own a Medeco High Security lock, you will be able to rekey only if you can still go to the locksmith that installed it for you. Reason being, is because that the locksmith that installs the lock for you has a control key for it that allows him to rekey it for you. If you locksmith is out of business then you will need to install a new lock.

What about Schlage High Security Locks? Well these locks can be rekeyed. There are no special requirements for a locksmith to do this for you. Mul-T-Locks, however, cannot be rekeyed. If you happen to lose your keys or need new keys for whatever reason then you will need to replace your lock. Some people do not need to maintain their key control because a very limited about of people have access to the keys for the locks.

If you have a different brand of high security locks, just contact your manufacturer and ask them if it can be rekeyed or not. So when you call any locksmith, you will know for yourself that they can or can’t be rekeyed. Some locksmiths want you to spend as much as possible, so you should be well educated before purchasing any service.
