Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work — without replacing the hardware itself. This is the recommended approach when moving into a new apartment, after a roommate moves out, or after lost keys. It's faster and cheaper than a full lock change. For Brooklyn's pre-war buildings with vintage mortise locks, rekeying preserves the original hardware (which may be architecturally significant) while providing new key security. A skilled locksmith can rekey most locks in 15-20 minutes per lock.
