What should I do if I lose my house keys? What does it mean to rekey my locks?

If your house keys are lost or stolen, for your own peace of mind, getting your locks re keyed is suggested. When locks are re-keyed, only the pin tumblers inside the lock are replaced with new ones that are made to fit a different key. Its essentially the same as putting brand new locks but it can save you a lot of money without compromising the security of your residence/building.
