If the locks on your new home are in good working order there is no need to replace them. They can be disassembled and rekeyed. There are several advantages to this:

• Protects you, your family and property against use of a key by an unauthorized individual  
• Cost is lower to rekey than to replace locks, $15.00 per lock cylinder
• It is usually impossible to match a new lock to other hardware on the door because of finish tarnishing due to weather
• Only takes about 15 minutes per lock cylinder to complete
• Renders all other keys useless, only the key issued will operate the lock
