  • Tenants or employees have left, and you need to restrict access.
  • You want a single key to open multiple locks.
  • After a break-in or attempted burglary.

When you move into a new house, others might still have a copy of your house key. It’s essential to have your house locks rekeyed. By opting for lock rekeying, you can be confident that previous residents, their acquaintances, and other unknown individuals who may possess your old house key won’t be able to gain unauthorized access.

Master Keying for Homes

Tired of having multiple keys for your house doors? Want one key to unlock all doors for you? You need a master key system installed by having your locks rekeyed. Master keying enables two different keys to open one lock. It allows access to specific doors while having one master key that can access all doors.

When do you need master keying for home? You might use master keying if you have a house keeper, babysitter, etc. that may need a key to your house. You can give them a key to the front door that won’t open your bedroom door.

If you have multiple keys to your house and you want to only use one key for your house, you may need to replace a lock or two to ensure you have compatible locks to use one key. Common brands we service are Kwikset, Schlage, Weiser, Baldwin, Yale, Emtek, and more.
