Have you thought about who might still have keys to your home? The old owners could have forgotten about the dog sitter or the housekeeper's key. Or an owner before the previous owner may still have a key. For these reasons and more, it is wise to be safe and change your locks. If you hire a locksmith to come to your home and change all the locks, the cost can be anywhere from $200 and up!

Did you know that you can take your locks to a local locksmith shop and have them changed for a significant savings? Or, if you have multiple locks with different keys, you can have all the locks re-keyed to match. This can only be accomplished if all your locks are the same brand.
