  1. What should I do if I lose my house keys?

If you’ve lost your house keys, the first thing you should do is try to retrace your steps and search for them. If you’re unable to find them, you should contact a professional locksmith to have your locks changed or rekeyed.

  1. Should I have my locks changed or rekeyed?

If you’re concerned about someone finding your lost keys and gaining access to your home, it’s recommended to have your locks changed. If you’re not worried about the keys falling into the wrong hands, you can have your locks rekeyed instead.

The time it takes to change or rekey locks depends on the number of locks and the type of locks involved. A professional locksmith can provide an estimate for the time and cost involved.

Consider creating duplicate keys and giving them to a trusted family member or friend. You can also install a keyless entry system or a smart lock that allows you to control access to your home from your smartphone.

Remember to always prioritize your safety and the security of your home when dealing with lost house keys. Contact a professional locksmith for assistance and follow their recommendations for securing your property.
