Residential Locksmith Services

In most cases of break-ins that do not involve forced entry, keys have been duplicated, lost, or stolen without the owner's knowledge. Even if you recover the key following a case of burglary, there's still the chance that your security has been compromised.

Re-keying ensures that any lost or stolen keys will no longer work with your locks, immediately restoring your home's security.

When you move into a new home, you have no way of knowing who might have copies of your keys. Previous owners, contractors, real estate agents, or neighbors may all have access. Re-keying is a cost-effective way to ensure only you have access to your new home.

Re-keying can be done as a preemptive measure if you suspect that someone has gained access to your keys. If you believe this person to have malicious intent, changing your locks is often well worth the cost if it avoids a potential break-in.

There are times when re-keying is necessary such as when you buy new locks and need them to work on the same key, need to have locks changed to work on different keys, or need to have some keys work on all your locks and some on just a few (creating a master key system).
