Why Rekeying After a Move Is Non-Negotiable  Protect Your Home from Day One

Moving into a new home is exciting — but don’t overlook security. If you haven’t rekeyed your locks, you could be sharing access with previous owners, tenants, contractors, or even realtors. A-Area Locksmith offers mobile rekeying services that give you peace of mind from the moment you move in.


What is rekeying?


Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work. It’s faster and more affordable than replacing the entire lock hardware — and just as secure.

Why rekeying is essential after moving


  • Unknown key copies: Previous owners may have shared keys with neighbors, cleaners, or family.
  • Contractor access: Builders, painters, or inspectors may still have working keys.
  • Rental history: If the home was a rental, multiple tenants may have duplicates.
  • Real estate agents: Open house keys may still be floating around.
  • Peace of mind: Rekeying ensures only you and your family have access.
