With so many recent buyers, rekeying on moving day is one of the most useful jobs in Somerville. Builders, trades, site supervisors, agents and inspectors may all have had keys. Rekeying means only your household's keys work, without replacing the locks. Rekey or replace your locks?

Acreage, sheds and gates

Rural blocks come with sheds, workshops, stables, gates and lots of padlocks. Lost a key, or a padlock rusted shut? A locksmith can usually cut a key from the lock, open it, or replace it with something tougher. Padlocks can often be keyed alike so one key opens them all. More on key cutting.

Security upgrades for family homes

Newer homes often come with builder-grade locks. Deadlocks on the back and garage access doors, sliding door locks and keyed window locks are the most common upgrades, and a smart lock with codes for each family member means no more lost keys. More on security upgrades.
