🔐 Just Moved to Waltham? Rekey Your Locks First—Here’s Why
Moving into a new home or apartment in Waltham, MA is exciting—but don’t let that excitement distract you from one of the most critical safety steps: rekeying your locks.
At Star Locks, we rekey dozens of homes every month for new Waltham residents. It’s quick, affordable, and arguably the most important move-in task you can’t afford to skip.
🛑 Why Rekeying Is Essential for New Homeowners
Even if your door hardware looks “new,” here’s the reality:
🔑 You don’t know who else might still have a copy of your keys.
Past homeowners, contractors, cleaning crews, pet sitters, or real estate agents may still have working keys to your new front door.
By rekeying your locks, you keep your hardware but change the key mechanism, so only the new keys we issue will work. It’s a complete reset for your home’s security—without the cost of full lock replacement.
🧰 How Rekeying Works
When you call Star Locks for a rekey in Waltham, here’s what we do:
- We arrive on-site with a mobile workshop
- We disassemble your lock cylinders (no damage to door or trim)
- We reset the internal pins to match a new key
- We test everything for smooth locking and unlocking
- We hand you fresh keys and verify everything is secure
This entire process typically takes under 30 minutes per lock.
🏠 Ideal for More Than Just New Homeowners
We also recommend rekeying if you:
- Rent out your property (after tenant turnover)
- Had a recent break-in or suspicious activity
- Lost a copy of your keys
