The short answer? YES!
Kenny Walag of KW Locksmith LLC explains that when you buy a new home, you have no way of knowing how many keys are really out there – or who has them.
Throughout a lifetime, people copy keys for many people: their children, babysitters, maybe even their dogsitter – keys change hands, get lost, are abandoned in junk drawers. If you don’t have your locks changed or rekeyed, you just never know who might still be holding keys for your new house!
There’s no way to tell how many key copies have been made over the years, so Danville locksmith Kenny Walag recommends having your locks updated or rekeyed as a part of the new home experience.
“The ideal is to have one key that fits all the locks in your house. If they’re in good condition, all you need to do is rekey the locks and have them keyed alike. If they’re not functioning properly, then this is a good time to go ahead and replace them anyway.”
