The reason people should re-key their locks include; a tenant moves out, a key is lost or stolen, your purse is stolen, new construction you don't know who on the construction team still has a key, you just purchased a new home or moved into a new home as you don't know who still has a copy of the keys - Realtor and/or previous owners. One of the most popular reasons is to have all your locks using only one key. This makes it convenient for you to not carry a lot of keys around with you. This can only work, however, if all your locks are of a compatible brand in your house. (Kwikset, Schlage, Weiser, etc.) Sometimes when hardware is installed into your house you can purchase them to be ''keyed alike''. This means that all the locks operate on the same key. However, if you decide to add a lock later on, you can either re-key that lock to be on the same key as the rest of your doors or use two different keys. (Remember this only works if the hardware is compatible.)

There are several reasons why you may want to re-key your locks:

1. Security: Re-keying your locks can help improve your home or business security. When you re-key your locks, you are essentially resetting the lock so that only new keys will work. This means that any old keys that were previously used to access the lock will no longer work. This can be especially important if you have lost your keys or if you have recently moved into a new home or business and are unsure who has access to the old keys.
2. Cost-effective: Re-keying your locks is typically less expensive than replacing the entire lock, making it a cost-effective solution to update your security.
3. Convenience: If you have multiple locks with different keys, re-keying them can help you streamline the number of keys you need to carry around. By re-keying your locks so that they all work with the same key, you can simplify your life and eliminate the need for multiple keys.
4. Peace of mind: Knowing that your locks have been re-keyed and that old keys will no longer work can give you peace of mind and help you feel more secure in your home or business.

Overall, re-keying your locks is a simple and effective way to enhance your security, convenience, and peace of mind. It's a relatively inexpensive way to update your locks without the need for replacing them entirely, and can be done quickly by a professional locksmith.
