Should I rekey or replace my locks?

If the locks work and you just want old keys to stop working, rekeying is usually enough. Replace them when they're worn, damaged or you want an upgrade.

Should I rekey after moving in?

Yes. You don't know how many copies of the old keys exist.

What should I have ready?

Proof that you live at the address. A locksmith should ask for it before opening a home.

Avoiding lockout scams

Be wary of anyone who quotes a low price on the phone and then demands far more on site, or who drills a lock before trying anything else. Ask for the price before work starts and for a written invoice.

There is no statewide locksmith license in Florida, but some counties set their own rules. Ask your locksmith about anything your county requires.
