Who has a key?

Change your locks when you move into a new home

Changing the locks when you move into a new home is a smart and essential step for security. Here's why it's important:

1. **Unknown Access**: You don't know how many people might have keys to the existing locks—previous owners, tenants, real estate agents, or even maintenance workers could still have access.

2. **Enhanced Security**: Installing new locks ensures that you are the only person with the keys, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized entry.

3. **Upgrading Lock Quality**: It's also an opportunity to upgrade to more secure locks, such as deadbolts, smart locks, or high-security options that provide better protection than older or standard locks.

4. **Peace of Mind**: Knowing you have complete control over who has access to your home adds an extra layer of comfort and safety.

Rekeying the locks or replacing them with new ones is a straightforward and effective way to make sure your home stays secure.
