The process of rekeying the locks

When rekeying locks we will remove the doorknob to get to the lock. Now we push cylinder out of lock assembly, remove knob sleeve, to take off the cylinder. Then we remove the thin ring retainer from lock cylinder, insert original key in the lock, remove cylinder plug carefully. For this, we use specialized equipment. We will then fit the new lock with an entirely new pin configuration and put the lock together.
