Step 1: Stay Calm and Think Back
Before taking any action, stop and retrace your steps:
- Where was the last place you used the key?
- Was it loose in your pocket or bag?
- Did you lend it to someone recently?
If you know it’s truly gone—and not just misplaced in the house—it’s time to secure your home.
Step 2: Ask Yourself—Who Could Have Access Now?
Even if the key isn’t labeled with your address, a lost key still presents a potential security risk. If someone finds it nearby, or knows you, they could potentially use it.
If the key was lost near your home, your workplace, or your car, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Step 3: Decide Whether to Rekey or Replace the Locks
If you’re concerned someone might use the key, rekeying is a fast and affordable way to restore security.
We’ll change the pins inside your existing locks so the lost key no longer works, and you get a new set of keys that only you control.
In cases where:
- The lock is old or damaged
- You want a new look or added features
- You’re switching to a smart lock
…it might make more sense to replace the entire lock instead.
Step 4: Consider Upgrading to a Keyless or Smart Lock
Lost keys are one of the top reasons homeowners in Phoenix upgrade to keyless locks. With a keypad or smart lock:
- You don’t need physical keys
- You can assign and remove user codes
- You get alerts if someone tries to tamper with it
It’s an investment in peace of mind—and one less thing to carry around.
