Moving into a new home or completing a home purchase often comes with one important question. Who else might still have a key? A Dwellness home warranty re-key service helps homeowners regain control of their home security by rekeying existing door locks rather than replacing them entirely.

As a trusted home warranty company serving Las Vegas homeowners since 1986, Dwellness offers rekey service as part of select home warranty plans. This service is especially valuable for new homeowners, homebuyers, and anyone completing a real estate transaction who wants peace of mind without the cost of installing new locks.

Situations That May Require Re-Key Service

Re-key service is often needed when access to a home has changed. Depending on your home warranty plan and coverage details, rekey locks service may be available in the following situations:

  • Moving into a new home or new house after a home purchase
  • Receiving an old key from previous occupants
  • Lost or unaccounted house keys
  • Concerns about who may have copies of your keys
  • Changes in household access needs
  • Front door locks that need a new key configuration
  • Door locks or deadbolts that function properly but need rekeying

Home warranty coverage is not guaranteed in every situation. Items damaged by misuse, tampering, or events outside normal conditions may fall under exclusions outlined in your service contract. Coverage limits apply, and certain lock types, such as smart lock systems or garage door access, may be evaluated separately.

Even so, Dwellness delivers consistent results homeowners trust. Over 97 percent of our customers’ claims are approved, and over 85 percent of those claims are resolved on the initial visit.

We Have You Covered

In addition to rekey service, Dwellness home warranty plans provide comprehensive protection for the systems and appliances that keep your home running smoothly. Your plan may also include protection for:

  • HVAC system components, such as air conditioning and heating systems
  • Plumbing system items, including faucets, water heaters, and garbage disposal units
  • Electrical system components, including outlets, light switches, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, light fixtures, electrical wiring, and central vacuum systems
  • Home appliances, such as your dishwasher, clothes washer, built-in microwave, cooktop, water dispenser, and garage door opener

Your home warranty coverage works hand in hand with your homeowners insurance. While homeowners insurance protects you from major events like fire or structural damage, a home warranty helps with covered repairs for breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear.
