Most deadbolts and locking doorknobs have what is called a pin tumbler lock. The specific arrangement of the pins in this lock correspond to the grooves and cuts, or shape, of a specific key. When the lock is rekeyed, these pins are changed so that it conforms to the shape of a new key. The rekeyed lock will have a new set of keys and the old set of keys will no longer work.
