We drive out to Viola from Georgetown, over in Kent County, and every lock rekey job we take in Viola is finished at the address rather than anywhere else.
Viola has a mix of farmhouse properties and modest village houses along narrow country lanes, and many front entries are vinyl- or wood-clad doors with standard deadbolts or simple mortise locks. In Viola we rekey locks to keep key control when tenants change or keys are lost, working on mailbox locks, shed and barn doors as well as main entrances. We travel from Georgetown to serve Viola and other parts of Kent County, bringing the necessary tools in our van to perform the rekey on site without a shop visit.
Rekeying means changing the internal pins or tumblers so the lock works with a new key and no longer accepts the old one. For a Viola home that might include removing the cylinder from a front door deadbolt or a garage entry lock, resetting the pins to match a new key blank, and testing the mechanism on site to ensure smooth operation.
Yes, we can often rekey older hardware if the lock cylinder is serviceable. In Viola many properties have older wood or composite doors and sometimes Dutch doors with surface-mounted hardware. We inspect the cylinder for wear and replace or adapt parts when necessary so the lock can be rekeyed rather than replaced when that is the better option.
Rekeying can be done so several locks operate on the same key by configuring their cylinders to the same pinning. For a rental in Kent County, we rekey each lock cylinder individually to match a single new key, which simplifies key control while keeping each lock mechanically sound. We evaluate each lock before proceeding.
