A-1 Locksmith Service

A locksmith service in St. George handling lockouts, rekeying and lock repair for homes and vehicles.

Background

Rekeying and replacing are different jobs and the first is usually the right one. A pin-tumbler cylinder opens when the key raises each pin stack to exactly the shear line; rekeying swaps those bottom pins for a different set of heights so a new key works and the old one no longer does, while the lock body, the finish and the door hardware stay where they are. Nothing about the security grade of the lock changes, because the grade lives in the hardware rather than in the pinning. Replacement is warranted when the hardware itself is worn, damaged or of an inadequate grade, not merely because the keys have changed hands.
