Why Rekey a Lock?

If you have purchased, rented or leased a home, townhome, apartment or commercial property, don't make the mistake of continuing to use the old lock and keys. Past residents, tradesmen, friends or real estate agents may possess copies of your keys. The way to prevent those keys from accessing your new property is by having your locks rekeyed. Rekeying simply means adjusting the tumblers of the locks so that only a new key combination can operate them. It's a small effort with a real power to protect you.

Rekeying If you're concerned that someone else has your key, you can elect to rekey or change 'the combination' of your existing lock. This is often times less expensive than replacing the hardware completely. Bring us your working lock and key (if available) and we will create new keys that work. Any keys that used to work with the lock will no longer fit. We do recommend however that you consider replacing your locks with restricted, bump proof and pick resistant locks. These new locks take the guess workout of knowing who has keys that will operate YOUR locks. Many of today's popular lock brands use the same key combinations and key blanks that have been recycled since the typical pin tumbler lock has been in existence. Ask yourself these 4 simple questions: 1. Do you know who has keys to your locks? 2. How many people will you be giving keys to? 3. Do you care if those you give keys to can get duplicates made without your knowledge? 4. Do you need to know who opens a lock and when? If any of these items are of concern to you we have solutions, call or stop in. Keying Alike Most times referred to erroneously as 'master keyed' typically a residence will have one key combination that works all locks or doors. This is technically referred to as 'keyed alike.' A single key combination regardless of type of lock cylinder is the most secure compared to 'master keyed.' Master keying Master keying offers convenience. It allows a property manger or owner to have 'one key' to open all locks with individual, non interchangeable keys per each individual lock or door". Think of an apartment complex or industrial complex where access needs to limited by unit or office but management needs access to all. One key can open every lock, but every lock still has it's own unique key. There is a draw back to master keying since in order to allow more than one key combination to operate those locks it also requires pins to be added to allow those designated keys to operate. By pinning the lock to more than one key it conceivably allows more than the intended number of keys to operate, these keys are known as 'ghost keys.' Anyone considering a master keys system should be aware of this. Should you have questions about this, please call or stop in, we would be happy to show you how this works.
DIY or require us to come out? Locks can be taken off the door and brought to our Addison office to be rekeyed. Some are simple and just require a screwdriver to remove and replace. If it is OK to have the lock off the door for a few hours, and you are fairly mechanically inclined, this may be on option. Most commercial locks require specialized knowledge and we suggest that our trained technicians come to the site to remove, rekey and replace the locks. How long does rekeying locks take? The determining factor is how long it takes to remove the lock and lock cylinder from the door. Once removed, the rekeying takes only minutes. Can key systems be added onto later? Yes, if the key system was designed to be expanded and there remains room in the system, additional changes can be added at a later date. Can we replace just the lock cylinder? There are three basic types of cylinders: rim cylinders, mortise cylinders, and cylindrical lock or tubular deadbolt cylinders. Many locks allow for just the lock cylinder to be replaced. In high use doors the cylinder may become worn. By replacing the cylinder, the lock remains useful. When hardware allows cylinder replacement, it is possible to increase the security or flexibility of the lock with a high security cylinder or an electronic cylinder. With this simple addition the lock becomes much more secure and can satisfy your access control or audit needs.Call or Click Here to Email Our Lock Rekeying Specialists Today!
Duplication We pride outselves on the accuracy of our key cutting units. Keys are cut expertly by selecting the correct key blank from an extensive key-wall. Keys can be duplicated while you wait, or dropped off in large quantities for pick up later. Lost or broken key? If you have lost a key, it may be possible for our computer to generate a key code that will allow us to reproduce the key you have lost. We will require, at a minimum, the number that is stamped into the face of the lock. If you also can provide the name of the lock manufacturer, that will narrow the possibilities further. If you have a broken key to duplicate, please provide both pieces of the key so that the duplication will be successful. Automotive keys Fitted to locks, broken keys extracted and new 'original keys' generated.
If you lose the key or combination to your safe or just feel the need to change the combination we can help. If your safe is small enough for transport, bring it to our store. If your safe is too large, we can send a trained safe technician to you service. We sell and service both Amsec and Gardall safes.

Is it ok with you if a key for you property is made without your knowledge? Take a second to think about everyone who has ever borrowed or handled your key. Unless you have a restricted type key anyone with access to your key can obtain make a duplicate. A restricted key and or high security system allows for patent protected key control. Patented keys are only available to a locksmith under legal contract from the original manufacturer and duplicates only to predetermined authorized users of the system. This means the keys are not available at home centers, hardware stores or in most cases even from other locksmiths. Positive identification is required to obtain additional keys. In addition to true key restriction, high security lock systems are drill resistant and offer a high degree of pick and bump resistance. One of the best ways to make your locks bump resistant is to utilize restricted keyway locks. Visit our store to learn more about these impressive systems. Let DuPage Security Solutions, Inc. install and service your Restricted or High Security System. We proudly sell and install Medeco, Schlage Primus and Marks systems.
Access Control is often referred to as keyless or card systems. There are a wide variety of systems from stand alone systems that are usually battery powered and mount directly to a door. These systems are operated a code being entered into a keypad or a card being presented in front of a proximity reader. Hardwired systems usually involve card readers or keypads on a frame next to a door and an electric release on the frame to facilitate the door being opened after the proper credential is presented. These hardwired systems will usually connect to a controller that stores the database of authorized users and the times they are allowed to enter. The controller connects by cable or network to a main computer that uploads the authorized user info to the controller. The computer does not need to be on all the time for the system to work. Access control systems can allow you to program either the stand alone or hardwired systems to allow certain people in only during certain times during the day (by shift for example). Some stand alone systems do not provide time zone programming; they are 24-7 units. Computer controlled systems, both stand alone and hardwired, provide an excellent management tool by providing audit trails of who came in and when and even who tried to come in when they weren't authorized to come in.
