Why Rekeying is Essential for Each Turnover
Rekeying your rental property at each turnover ensures that all previous tenants, guests, and any potentially lost or unaccounted keys no longer provide access. This simple, cost-effective procedure guarantees a fresh start with each new tenant, protecting both your property and the new residents' peace of mind. For properties with multiple locks, rekeying to a single key can also enhance convenience for your new tenants.

Common Questions
How Soon Can You Rekey My Property After a Tenant Moves Out?
We can typically accommodate rekeying requests within 24-48 hours of scheduling, depending on our current service schedule. For urgent situations, please contact us directly to discuss priority arrangements.
Do I Need to Be Present for the Rekeying Service?
No, you don't need to be present, but we do require authorized access to the property. Many of our landlord clients provide a key or make alternative access arrangements, which we handle with the utmost care and security.
Will Rekeying Affect My Existing Locks' Warranty?
In most cases, rekeying does not void lock warranties. However, we recommend checking your specific lock manufacturer's policy. Our technicians are trained to work with a variety of lock types, ensuring compatibility and warranty preservation whenever possible.
