What is Car Lockset Rekeying?
Car lockset rekeying is a process that involves changing the internal components of a car lock to fit a new set of keys and render existing keys ineffective. This can be done in various ways, depending on the specific type of lock. It may involve replacing or reconfiguring components such as pins, wafers, discs, or other internal elements.
