We at Coastal Contract Hardware know that you care about your business, and we want to help you keep it safe and secure. To do that, we not only offer a variety of hardware, such as security doors and locks, but we can also rekey your existing locks when necessary.

When Should You Use a Rekey Service?

In this article, we will go over a few common situations where we encourage people to schedule a rekey service.

  • When Moving In – First, we recommend using a rekey service whenever you move into a new facility. There is no way to guarantee that all copies of the old keys are accounted for, which means there could be someone who still has a key who can access your new building without permission. Our team will adjust the locks on your facility to make the old keys obsolete and ensure that only your new keys work.
  • When Keys Go Missing – Second, you should call our rekey service if any of the copies of your keys ever go missing or can’t be accounted for. It’s important to control who has access to your building, and a key you can’t account for represents a risk to your security. Our team will render the old keys useless so that no one can use them to get in.
  • When Changing Operations – Third, you can also use our rekey service to improve your overall operations. For example, using a rekey service can make it easier to maintain your facilities. Our team can adjust your locks to accept both an individual key and a master key, allowing custodians and other staff to get into every part of the building efficiently.
