When Should a Business Rekey Its Locks? (A Practical Policy)

Quick Answer: A business should rekey locks any time key access might be compromised—employee separation, lost/unreturned keys, tenant turnover, contractor access ending, or a suspected security incident. Rekeying changes the lock’s internal pinning so the old keys stop working while keeping the same hardware. For Sugar Land businesses, the key is having a simple written policy so rekeying happens automatically—before a problem turns into an incident.
