We just moved into our first home and were not sure who the previous owners gave keys to. Do we need to replace the locks or can they be fixed so the old key will not work in them?

Yes, we can re-key your locks and issue new keys in most cases. Typically, locks are designed to be disassembled for repair or re-keying. Some Do it yourself centers sell the cheaper type locks that are permanently assembled and cannot be taken apart. Replacement is the only option for these type locks. • Can all my locks be re-keyed so they work on the same key? Yes, in most cases, if all the locks are compatible with the one key and the locks can be dissembled they can be keyed to operate on one key. If youre a business owner and want to use only one key for both your business and home, while your employees use a key that ONLY OPENS your business, that is possible as well.
