🔑 Just Moved In? Why You Should Rekey Your Locks Immediately in Waltham
Moving into a new home or apartment is exciting — but it’s also the perfect time to upgrade your security. At Star Locks, we recommend that every new Waltham resident or property owner rekey their locks immediately upon moving in.
Whether you bought a house, signed a lease, or inherited a rental property, you don’t know who might still have a copy of the key.
🔐 What Does Rekeying Mean?
Rekeying doesn’t replace the entire lock — just the internal pins inside the cylinder. We change the key that operates the lock without replacing your hardware, saving you time and money.
You get:
- New keys
- Same door hardware
- Full control over access

🛡️ Why Rekey After a Move?
We’ve helped new homeowners across Lakeview, Cedarwood, and South Waltham who didn’t realize that:
- Realtors often give out multiple key copies
- Contractors, cleaners, or staging companies may have had access
- Landlords or previous tenants could still have duplicates
Rekeying is fast, affordable, and eliminates the risk.
Just last week, we rekeyed a duplex on Prospect Hill Road for a new family. Within 45 minutes, they had new keys and peace of mind.
👤 Who Should Rekey?
- Homeowners: Right after closing
- Renters: If the landlord hasn’t already done it
- Landlords: Between tenants
- Airbnb hosts: Between guests or when rotating codes isn’t enough
- Property managers: Multi-unit buildings with regular turnover
We also offer master key systems for buildings with multiple suites.
