When Should You Change Your Locks After Moving?

Moving into a new home is exciting, but it's also the perfect time to think about your security. Many people overlook the fact that previous homeowners, tenants, contractors, or even neighbors may still have spare keys. This creates a security gap that can easily be solved by rekeying or replacing your locks.

Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your lock so that old keys no longer work, while replacement means installing entirely new hardware. In both cases, you regain full control over who has access to your home. This small step can prevent potential break-ins and give you peace of mind in your new space.

How to Choose the Right Door Lock for Your Home

The right lock can make a huge difference in protecting your property. There are several types to consider: cylinder locks, which are common and easy to rekey; deadbolts, which offer strong protection against forced entry; and smart locks, which allow keyless entry and remote access.

When choosing, think about the type of door, the location (main entrance vs. interior), and the level of security you need. A solid deadbolt is a must for exterior doors, while smart locks can offer added convenience without sacrificing safety. If you're unsure, a professional locksmith can help assess your home and recommend the best option for your situation.

reviewer Samantha M. Toronto

It was 2:15 AM, and my key broke off inside a lock. I couldn’t get into my house. Called 3 different places claiming to be 24 hour and SOS Locksmith were the only ones with techs actually available. 30 minutes later - I was getting into my to m bed. Highly recommend.

I'm busy and I don't have time to worry about if the locksmith knows what he is doing. These guys are incredibly fast even nights and weekends and for the past two years there has never been an issue with any tech. Fast, fair pricing and no newbies.
