Post-Eviction Lock Changes
Rekey after lawful possession so prior occupant keys are dead — not a self-help lockout.
Get this startedLost keys, vendor keys, and prior occupant keys are how vacant houses get lived in again. We rekey when you have the right to control access — after vacancy is confirmed or a writ is executed.
Tell us why you control the unit and how many openings you need keyed.

Lock-change services is the vacant-and-REO rekey. Post-eviction lock changes is the after-writ version. Locksmith coordination is the setout-morning slot. The hardware looks the same. The legal moment is not. We decline occupied lockouts.
Use this when the property is vacant, bank-owned, or already recovered and you need access controlled. If a setout is on the calendar, use locksmith coordination. If you are locked out of your own vacant house, tell us how you prove control.
Send the address and the reason you control it. If occupancy is fuzzy, we inspect first. If a tenant is inside, the answer is a dispossessory — not a locksmith.

Yes, when you ask for it. Tell us who should have the code. That is part of vacant control, not a hidden fee we invent here.
