What Should I Do if I've Lost the Key to My House?

Losing a key is more than an inconvenience—it can pose a serious security risk. If someone finds your key, especially with any identifying information, they may have easy access to your home or vehicle. Here’s what you need to know for two common scenarios:

What to do if You've Lost One Key

If you’ve lost a single key, the first concern should be whether someone might know where you live or where your vehicle is parked. If the key was lost with an ID or other identifying info, it’s possible the finder could have access to your property. In this situation, we recommend rekeying the affected locks immediately to ensure your security. Rekeying allows us to adjust the locks so the lost key no longer works, giving you peace of mind.

What to do if You've Lost All Keys to your House or Vehicle

Losing all your keys can be even more troublesome. If you no longer have any spare keys for your home or vehicle, you’ll need to have the locks rekeyed and new keys made. Rekeying ensures the old set of keys are completely useless, and we can provide you with a fresh set of keys so you’re back in control. This is an essential step in keeping your home or vehicle secure.
