What Are Property Lock Change Services?

Lock change and re-keying services are the foundational step of mortgage field services and REO property management. When a home enters default, foreclosure, or vacancy, securing the entry points prevents trespassing, squatter occupancy, theft, and property damage.

Ridge Maintenance works directly with lenders, loan servicers, and asset managers to strip old access access and install fresh, compliant hardware—ensuring seamless access for authorized personnel while keeping intruders out.

When Should You Request Lock Change Services?

Securing property boundaries immediately upon transition is critical for liability management. Partner with Ridge Maintenance under these common scenarios:

1. Foreclosure & Vacant Property Securing: Lock changing within the mandatory 48-hour window following asset takeover.

2. Eviction & Legal Lockouts: Coordinating with local sheriffs or legal teams to promptly change all entry locks on-site.

3. Lost or Unaccounted Keys: Re-keying properties between tenant turnovers, agent changes, or contractor work completion.

4. Broken or Tampered Locksets: Replacing compromised deadbolts, damaged handles, or forced-entry lock mechanisms.
