Questions from McKinney residents
Will a locksmith need proof I live here?
Usually, yes. Expect to show ID or other proof of residence. This protects you too, since it keeps a stranger from talking a locksmith into opening your door.
Should I rekey after moving in?
It's a good idea, since you don't know who has copies of the old keys. Former owners, contractors, dog walkers and neighbors may all have had copies, and rekeying closes that gap in one visit.

What should a locksmith know about homes in McKinney?
Historic Downtown McKinney has a restored courthouse square. Hail is a common reason for roof claims in spring. Older homes near downtown date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Mention your street and the age of the house when you call.
Do locksmiths handle mailbox locks?
Many do. If your mailbox is in a cluster box, the post office or property manager may need to approve the change.

Heads up: VendorReach itself never shows up with tools. Whoever comes out is an independent locksmith working for themselves, not for us. Ask about warranty terms while they're still on site. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
