Reasons for customers to change locks
The customer said that after the worker sister resigned, she hoped to replace the lock cylinder of the residential door as soon as possible to prevent the old key from still being able to open the door. The focus of the treatment this time is not simply repair, but the replacement of the European-style lock cylinder, so that the old key becomes invalid and only the new key switch can be used in the future.
Main concerns of customers
Customers are most concerned about whether the old key can be completely discarded, whether the new lock cylinder fits the original door lock, whether the door body will be damaged after installation, and whether the new key operates smoothly. 101 Locksmithing will first confirm the length of the European lock cylinder, door thickness, lock body condition and lock tongue engagement, and then explain the charges and replacement methods to the customer.
Onsite inspection and processing methods
After the master arrives at the scene, he first checks the original European lock cylinder, screw position, door thickness and lock tongue operation, and then starts the work after confirming that it can be replaced. During the replacement process, the original lock body and door body will be retained as much as possible, and only the lock cylinder of the appropriate size will be replaced. After completion, adjustments and tests will be performed to ensure that the door lock opens and closes smoothly.
Test after completion
After replacing the lock cylinder, the master will use the new key to repeatedly test opening, closing, locking, reverse locking and lock tongue rebound, and confirm that both indoor and outdoor operations are normal. After completion, the old key cannot open the new lock cylinder, and the customer only needs to keep the new key and backup key.

101 Locksmith and maintenance suggestions
When the worker's sister quits her job, the tenant quits the lease, moves house, or suspects that the old key has been lost, it is recommended to replace the lock cylinder as soon as possible instead of just copying the new key. After replacing the lock cylinder, the old key becomes invalid immediately, which can reduce the risk of unauthorized opening of the door.
