Posted on:

Many homeowners only think about rekeying after losing their keys.

In reality, there are several situations where rekeying should be considered.

After Moving House

One of the most common reasons to rekey locks is after purchasing a property.

You never know how many copies of the old keys still exist.

Following Tenant Changes

Landlords and property managers often rekey locks between tenants to improve security.

After Losing Keys

Lost keys may present a security risk, particularly if they are linked to your address.

Following Relationship Changes

Changes in household access arrangements may make rekeying appropriate.

When Security Is a Concern

Any uncertainty about who has access to your property is a good reason to consider rekeying.
