Rekey Your Locks

 As  a Security Solutions specialist since 1986, and I have seen some stuff, I would like to address the importance of rekeying locks. 

 According to survey results published in The Locksmith Ledger, approximately 74% of new renters or new homeowners do not rekey the existing locks on their new place of residence. They go about unsuspecting about who might have access to their new home.

While a home is on the market, unlimited access to the home is available through the use of a key box, for the use of multiple agents, service companies, and contractors. There is a high probability that someone has duplicated the key, whether to bypass the constant use of the lock box or for other intentions. The previous owner/ resident may have given a key to a neighbor, or if the home was ever on the rental market, prior tenants may have a copy of the key.

This becomes a security issue for the new owner, therefore after a commercial or residential sale;  I recommend having the locks rekeyed by a reputable, state licensed locksmith (like me). I extend this recommendation to include having deadbolts installed as well!!

So what is rekeying? Rekeying is the process of eliminating the opportunity of any existing key to unlock the lock.

This is accomplished by changing the pins inside the cylinder or locking mechanism, blah, blah, blah, ....here just watch....
