Lock Change FAQs
When should I change my locks?
Change your locks after moving into a new home, losing keys, a break-in attempt, or when locks are old/damaged. It's also recommended after a divorce or when employees leave.
Lock change vs rekeying — which is better?
Rekey if your locks work fine but you need new keys. Change locks if they're damaged, outdated, or you want an upgrade to high-security locks. We'll advise you on-site.

Most lock changes take 15-30 minutes per lock. A full house lock change (4-6 locks) typically takes 2-3 hours including hardware selection.
Should I change locks after buying a new home?
Absolutely! Previous owners, contractors, realtors, and neighbors may have copies. New locks provide complete peace of mind.
