Whether you've just moved into your home, you're concerned about security, or you're trying to cut down on the amount of keys on your key ring, sometimes it's necessary to rekey your house. If you ever need this service, you should have it done by a trustworthy residential locksmith like Ability Lock & Key.

Ability Lock & Key is a fully-licensed and insured mobile locksmith company that has been servicing North Carolina's Piedmont Triad area (Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, and other surrounding towns) since 1999. They offer the full-range of commercial, residential, and emergency locksmith services, and their staff locksmiths are highly experienced. 

Here are some of the most common reasons homeowners decide to rekey their front door lock:

• Lost Keys: The most common reasons for needing to rekey your home is if you've lost a set of your keys. If you dropped a set of keys somewhere, or worse yet, if they were stolen from you, strangers may have access to your home, and you need to call a locksmith right away.
• Update Accessibility: If you've recently given someone keys to your home, such as a work contractor or a former roommate, it's a good idea to have your lock rekeyed once they no longer need access. Even if they returned the set of keys to you, they could have made a copy of your key without your knowledge.
• Recent Move: If you've recently moved into a new house or apartment, it's a good idea to have your lock rekeyed. You can't be sure that the previous property owner or landlord rekeyed the lock, and real estate agents, contractors, and others likely had access to your home before your move. 

If you have a lock that's in good working order, but the security of your home has been compromised, Ability Lock & Key will be able to rekey your lock. Rekeying is more cost-effective than doing a full lock replacement, and Ability Lock & Key's locksmiths will be able to provide you with new sets of keys right away. Not only will they respond promptly to your service call, they'll arrive in a marked van with their state license on-hand.
