When you move into a home, you get a key from someone, but did you get all the keys? Is there someone you don't know who can still get into your new home?

Many things can leave stray copies of a key behind. The previous occupants may have given a key to a house cleaning service or a babysitter. Were copies of those keys made?

You will never know that you have all the keys to your house unless you have the locks re-keyed. It is better to have the peace of mind of knowing that the only people with a key to your home are people you know and gave one to.
