When Should You Rekey?

• Moving into a new home or office — previous owners or tenants may have copies of the key
• After an employee departure — especially a termination or contentious exit
• Lost or stolen keys — if you don't know who has a copy, rekey immediately
• After a break-in or attempted break-in
• After a breakup or household change
• Tenant turnover — for property managers and landlords
• Security upgrade without hardware cost — rekey to a restricted key system
