I recently moved into a new home and I'm debating whether it's enough to rekey the existing locks or if replacing them entirely is the better long-term option. For those who've been through this, what did you choose, and were there any security or cost considerations that influenced your decision? I'd also appreciate any advice on when a full lock replacement is the smarter choice over simply rekeying.

For a new home, rekeying works fine if the locks are solid. I needed a quick solution and found https://royallocksmithfl.com/locksmith-lake-worth-fl/ affordable with no hidden fees. They helped me rekey all entry points in under an hour. Replacement only makes sense with damaged locks or if you want a master key system. Check your current hardware first.
