Hi and congratulations new (current) home owner!
Did you know that keys realtor gave you are most probably same one previous owners had. And the funny thing is that you never know how many people had that key or maybe uncle Sam recalled his cousin in 10 years
Anyway, changing house locks is absolultlu must (in locksmith terms we say rekey the house or house rekeying). When we say change locks, we mean replace a hardware itslef which most of the time is not necessary
We can replace a lock if some of them are different brands such as kwikset or schlage that prevents us making a same key that would open all locks. So what is the procedure and how lock changing works?
