Why Re-Keying is Essential When Moving In

When moving into a new residential or commercial property, whether renting or purchasing, it’s crucial to consider the security of your new environment. Many real estate agents may or may not recommend changing the locks, but for your peace of mind, it’s always advisable to have them re-keyed for enhanced security.

Understanding the Risks

Do you know how many keys previous tenants or owners may still possess? Did they return all keys to the real estate, or did they keep copies for themselves? Re-keying your locks can mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring your safety and security.

Cost-Effective Security Solutions

The cost of re-keying a property can start from as little as $132 for a single lock, depending on the locksmith. This small investment can save you from the stress and potential financial loss associated with a break-in.

First Steps for New Homeowners

For new homeowners, re-keying or changing the locks is often one of the first things to do upon moving in. Hiring a qualified locksmith not only enhances your security but also provides peace of mind, knowing that a professional has ensured your premises are safe and secure.

Why Choose a Qualified Locksmith Over a Handyman?

A qualified locksmith holds the necessary security licenses and has undergone extensive training—often up to four years—making them specialists in their field. Unlike a handyman, who may lack formal qualifications, a locksmith focuses solely on lock-related tasks, ensuring a higher level of expertise and reliability.

Stay Compliant with Security Laws

Did you know that security laws are changing? Depending on your state, it may be illegal for an unlicensed handyman or locksmith to change, repair, or install locks. Always choose a qualified locksmith to ensure your safety and compliance with local regulations.
