One of the questions we get all the time is, “Do I really need to rekey my locks after buying a house?”
My answer is almost always yes.
The truth is, you never really know how many copies of your house key are out there. Previous owners may have given keys to family members, neighbors, contractors, dog walkers, or cleaning services.
Rekeying your locks is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to make sure you’re the only one with access to your home.
At US1 Locksmith, we help homeowners throughout Pembroke Pines rekey existing locks without replacing the entire lock in many cases. It’s a simple service that can make a big difference in your peace of mind.
We also help customers who have lost their keys, experienced a break-in, or simply want all of their doors to work with one key.
We’ve been in the locksmith business for more than four decades, and we’ve learned that home security doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.
If you’ve recently moved or you’re thinking about improving your home’s security, we’d be happy to help.
FAQ
Is rekeying less expensive than replacing locks?
In many situations, yes. If your existing locks are in good condition, rekeying is often the more cost-effective option. If you are missing keys, have old locks, want to make all locks the same key but have different brand locks ( i.e. mix of Schlage and Kwikset) then replacement may be a better option
How long does rekeying usually take?
Most residential rekeying jobs can be completed during a single visit.
