Re-keying is the process of changing the pins in a lock's cylinder to work on a different key.
When a lock is re-keyed, new keys are provided - with as many duplicates as necessary - and the old keys will no longer work.
Re-keying can also be done as a pre-emptive measure if you suspect that someone has gained access to your keys.
If you believe this person to have malicious intent, changing your locks may well avoid a break-in.
Home security is usually more than a simple knob on your front door.
