We recently completed a rekey cylinder service for a customer in Newark, NJ 07114. The customer needed the existing cylinder rekeyed and requested two new keys as part of the service.
Instead of replacing the full lock hardware, the work focused on the cylinder itself.
We rekeyed the cylinder so it would operate with a new key cut, then provided the customer with two new keys after the service was completed.
What Was Done During This Rekey Service
For this job, our locksmith worked directly on the lock cylinder. The cylinder was handled carefully, the internal pin setup was changed to match the new key, and the new keys were checked to make sure the cylinder operated properly.
As shown in the photos from the job, the service included work with the cylinder, new brass keys, and a professional pinning kit. This type of setup allows the locksmith to select the correct pin sizes according to the key cut and prepare the cylinder for the new key.
The final result was a rekeyed cylinder and two new working keys for the customer.
Why Rekeying a Cylinder Can Be a Practical Solution
A rekey service is often used when the lock hardware is still in usable condition, but the customer needs the lock to work with a different key. In this type of service, the cylinder is adjusted internally instead of replacing the entire lock.
This can be useful when a customer wants a fresh key setup, has changed access needs, or simply wants new keys for an existing lock. The important point is that the work must be done accurately, because the new key needs to turn smoothly and operate the cylinder without sticking.
