🔒 Lock Rekeying — New Home? Rekey First.
Rekeying is the #1 security step after moving into any home — new construction or resale. When a locksmith rekeys your locks, they change the internal pin tumblers so all previous keys no longer work. You get new keys, but keep your existing hardware. It’s fast, affordable, and gives you complete peace of mind.
When should you rekey your locks?
- Just moved into a new or existing home
- After a breakup, divorce, or roommate change
- After losing your keys or having them stolen
- After a break-in or attempted break-in
- After giving a contractor, house cleaner, or dog walker a key
- To consolidate — make all locks in your home work with one key
Cost: $35–$45 per lock, typically $155–$260 for a whole home (4–6 locks). Same-day service available.
