When to Rekey Your Locks in Highwood

There are many situations where rekeying your locks in Highwood is the smart move:

• After moving into a new home: You never know how many copies of the key are floating around from previous owners.
• After a break-up or roommate change: When someone who had a key no longer should, rekeying restores your security immediately.
• Lost or stolen keys: If a key set goes missing in Highwood, rekeying eliminates the risk of unauthorized entry.
• Tenant turnover: Highwood landlords and property managers should rekey between every tenant.
• Employee changes: When a Highwood business has staff turnover, rekeying office locks is essential.

Master Key Systems for Highwood Properties

A master key system is the ultimate convenience for Highwood property owners and managers. Here's how it works: each lock gets its own unique key, but a single master key opens them all. This is perfect for:

• Highwood apartment buildings where managers need universal access
• Office buildings with different departments needing separate access
• Multi-door homes where one key for everything saves hassle
• Rental properties where landlord access must be maintained

We design and implement master key systems during the rekeying process — it's the most cost-effective time to set one up.
