When can you simply rekey the car lock instead of changing it?
In certain cases, rekeying is enough to fix a faulty ignition lock. However, this only works when the only faults are with the internal components of the lock (like wafers or pins) but not with the cylinder itself. Once the technician investigates your car lock, they will determine if rekeying is enough to solve your issue or if you need to replace the cylinder.
New cylinders come with different key codes from the one that unlocks your doors. So, we mostly rekey ignition after a replacing the cylinder, since you’d most likely like to open your doors and start the ignition with one key.
