        "text": "Lock repair addresses mechanical issues within the lock itself, such as a broken bolt, a jammed cylinder, or a faulty mechanism, aiming to restore the lock's functionality without changing its keys. Rekeying, on the other hand, involves altering the internal pins of a lock so that it operates with a new key, while the original keys no longer work. Rekeying is typically done for security reasons, like when keys are lost or stolen, or after moving into a new property, without needing to replace the entire lock hardware.",
