Previous owners, past tenants, contractors, neighbors, and real estate agents may all have had keys to your new home. Rekeying changes the pins inside each lock so only your new keys work.
Count your locks before you call
- The front door knob and deadbolt, counted separately
- The back door
- Any side doors
- The door from the garage into the house
- A shed or shop door you want on the same key
Rekey or replace?
Rekey when the locks work well. Replace a lock that is worn out, damaged, or does not lock fully. See deadbolt installation.

Common questions
How soon should I rekey after moving?
As soon as you can. Until then, anyone with an old key can still get in.
Can every door use the same key?
Often, yes. Locks of the same type can usually be rekeyed to one key.
