Penfield is a town in Monroe County. Whenever a home changes hands, previous owners, contractors, agents or neighbors may still hold copies. You cannot account for every copy, so the practical answer is to change which key works.
Situations we hear about
Closing day is done
List every exterior door, including garage service doors and basement entries. Rekeying compatible locks to a new key retires every old copy.
Garage keypad and remote codes
Locks are only part of access. Reset garage keypad codes and smart-lock users at the same time; your door opener manual explains the steps.
Mismatched locks from a previous owner
If some hardware is worn or of a different brand, consider replacing those pieces so the whole house can run on one key.
When you call from Penfield, mention
- Total number of exterior doors
- Whether you have the keys you were given at closing
- Any lock that already feels worn or sticky

Penfield questions
Should I rekey even if the seller gave me all the keys?
Many people do, because there is no way to know about copies made over the years. Rekeying is usually less disruptive than replacing hardware.
What about the garage?
Include the garage service door lock in your count, and separately reset opener codes and remotes yourself.
