Re-keying the Locks on Your Home
Once the sale of a home is completed, the new homeowners are usually given the keys to their new home at closing. It is not uncommon for homeowners to give copies of keys to loved ones and trusted friends, and there is little way of knowing how many copies of a key may be out in public. Once the home is officially in their possession, some buyers choose to re-key the locks on the home as an added level of security.
Locks and deadbolts are typically the first line of defense when it comes to home protection. Re-keying locks and replacing old deadbolts can be an inexpensive and effective way of ensuring the safety of your family and possessions.
