Why does an enzyme not work as well if its active site is changed?

As the enzyme works on the lock and key hypothesis, meaning that it's active site is complementary only to its substrate, when the active sites shape is changed then the substrate will no longer be complementary, this will lead to the enzyme not being able to catalyse the reaction and the rate of the reaction to decrease.
