Quick answers for Walnut

What does rekeying actually do in Walnut? +

Rekeying does not replace the lock. It changes which keys work in the cylinder you already have.

Can several locks be rekeyed to the same key in Walnut? +

Yes, if they are compatible cylinders. Tell the locksmith how many doors so they can set them all to one key.

What should I tell the locksmith in Walnut? +

Give the number of cylinders, lock brands if known, if a working key remains, and if every compatible lock should use the same new key. ZIP 91789 is commonly routed from Walnut.
