Managing Multiple Rentals in Phoenix? Here’s How to Simplify Rekeying Across Properties
If you own or manage multiple rental properties in Phoenix, you know that key control is one of your most important responsibilities—and one of the most overlooked.
With tenant turnover, vendor access, evictions, and property cleanouts, it’s easy to lose track of who has a key to which property—and when those locks were last changed.
That’s why smart landlords across Arcadia, Maryvale, Garfield, and North Phoenix are turning to bulk rekeying services to simplify operations and protect their investments.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to streamline rekeying across your entire portfolio, why it matters, and how Affordable Security Locksmith And Alarm – Phoenix helps landlords manage security with ease.
Why Landlords with Multiple Properties Must Prioritize Rekeying
Owning one rental requires good systems. Owning five or more? That requires great systems—especially when it comes to security.
Here’s why rekeying is a must:
🔐 Tenants come and go
Every lease change increases your risk if old keys still work.
🧾 You’re legally responsible for access control
Failing to secure a unit can lead to liability, especially if damages or injuries occur.
📦 You may have vendors, cleaners, and handymen rotating between units
Without consistent key management, anyone could still have access.
📆 It’s easy to forget which locks were changed and when
Rekeying on a schedule keeps your security up to date—automatically.
Problems We Solve for Multi-Property Owners in Phoenix
We’ve worked with investors and landlords managing:
- Single-family homes across the valley
- Duplexes, triplexes, and quads
- Airbnb and short-term rentals
- Section 8 and subsidized housing
- Student housing near ASU Downtown
- Long-term rentals in Maryvale, South Phoenix, and Central City
They all have one thing in common:
Key confusion = security risk + lost time.
How to Streamline Rekeying Across Multiple Rentals
1. 🔁 Create a Standard Turnover Checklist
Every time a tenant moves out, include:
- Rekey all entry points
- Replace any broken locks
- Cut and label new keys
- Document key issuance
We can help automate this step with fast, mobile rekeying appointments at your convenience.
2. 📅 Set a Rekeying Schedule
Even if tenants renew their leases, rekeying every 2–3 years adds a layer of security and control.
For short-term rentals or high-turnover properties, consider rekeying every 3–6 months.
3. 🗂️ Use a Key Control Log
Keep track of:
- How many keys were issued
- Who has them (tenants, vendors, staff)
- When locks were last rekeyed
We provide digital or printable logs for landlords who need documentation for compliance or audits.
4. 🛠️ Use Compatible Locks Across All Properties
Standardizing your hardware (Schlage, Kwikset, etc.) allows us to:
- Rekey multiple properties quickly
- Match locks to a single master key (if desired)
- Carry the correct parts and tools in one visit
We’ll help you assess your current lock systems and offer affordable upgrades if needed.
5. 🔑 Consider Master Keying or Keyed-Alike Systems
If you manage units in close proximity (e.g., Central Phoenix or Alhambra), we can:
- Create a master key for you
- Ensure each tenant has a unique key
- Streamline access for maintenance or inspections
- Limit lost time during service calls
