When Should You Rekey Your Locks?

Rekeying is recommended whenever you're unsure who might have copies of your keys. Here are the most common situations:

Moving to a New Home

You don't know who has copies of the previous owner's keys. Rekeying ensures only you have access.

Lost or Stolen Keys

If your keys are missing, rekeying prevents anyone who finds them from entering your home.

After a Breakup or Roommate Change

When someone who had keys moves out, rekeying ensures they can no longer access your home.

Rental Property Turnover

Landlords should rekey between tenants to maintain security and prevent unauthorized access.

When you move into a new home in Raleigh, you have no way of knowing how many copies of the keys exist. Previous owners, real estate agents, contractors, neighbors—any of them might still have keys. Rekeying your locks is a simple, affordable way to ensure that you're the only one with access to your home.

At Ace Keys Locksmith, we make the rekey process quick and easy. Our technicians arrive at your home with all the necessary equipment to rekey your locks on the spot. Most homes can be completely rekeyed in under an hour, and you'll walk away with fresh keys that are the only ones that work.
