Home warranty coverage can offer more than protection for your major home appliances and systems. Liberty Home Guard’s first-class warranty policies can also provide a variety of essential home services. These services include pest control, gutter cleaning, and floor and carpet cleaning, but one of the most popular services is rekey coverage.
The security of your home is of the utmost importance. A home alarm and other security features can provide some reassurance, but key control is your first line of defense. We can provide a custom policy so that your Liberty Home Guard home warranty also covers locksmith services.
There’s a difference between rekeying and out-and-out lock replacement.
Rekeying refers to changing the internal mechanisms of a lock so that it requires a different key. Inside a common tumbler lock are a series of spring-loaded pins set at varying levels. When the correct key is inserted into the lock, the pins align. This allows the lock to rotate, thereby opening the door.
A locksmith can rekey a lock by taking it apart and adjusting the internal pins. The lock is effectively reset and requires a new key to align the pins—the old key will no longer work. The locksmith will provide new keys, but your home will have the same lock assembly.
This is different from lock replacement. As you might imagine, lock replacement entails changing the entire lock assembly.
When people referring to “changing the locks,” they usually mean rekeying. A lock replacement is only necessary if the lock assembly has worn down or jammed, which can happen over time. Sometimes a homeowner may want to upgrade a lock to a smart lock, deadbolt, or other model for security or aesthetic reasons.
Rekeying a lock is necessary whenever you lose key control. This term refers to your ability to account for all keys that can open your home’s lock.
There are several circumstances that can require you to gain or regain key control. Here are a few of the most common.
With our rekey service, you can submit a claim to rekey two lock cylinders in your home. All you need to do is fill out a simple form on our website. We’ll take care of finding a qualified locksmith, so you won’t need to search for one yourself.
You’ll also save money. The average cost of rekeying a lock in the United States is around $150. In some locations with a higher cost of living, rekeying expenses can exceed $300.
Our locksmith service is an optional addition to your Liberty Home Guard home warranty. If you’re interested in a policy that provides inexpensive and convenient home security, use our website to request a free quote. You can also reach our team by calling (866)-225-7958.

View All PostsA home warranty is a service contract that covers the cost of repairs and replacements for your home’s systems and appliances when they break down over time from normal wear and tear.
It’s simple, you can select the coverage plan of your choice that is the best fit for your home and budget.
When you request service for a covered item, you will be charged a pre-set fee in order to initiate the service request.
With an LHG home warranty, when a covered item needs repair, simply follow these steps:
Liberty Home Guard offers 3 different plans depending on the coverage your home needs. The Total Home Guard is a combination of both our Appliance Guard and Systems Guard plan. It is our most comprehensive and most economical.
We offer add-ons to each plan. Check HERE for our Home Warranty Plans & Policies page to learn more about everything we cover.
A home warranty covers the costs of repairs and replacements of major home appliances and systems. Home systems, for example, include plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Homeowners insurance provides coverage if theft or natural disaster hits.
The main difference is that a manufacturer’s warranty generally covers the failed part of a single appliance, but usually doesn’t include the cost of labor or repair. With a home warranty, one plan covers a variety of systems and appliances, making it a more cost-effective way to safeguard your home.
A home warranty protects the homeowner’s budget by removing the risk of fluctuating expenses when big ticket items break down. With a Liberty Home Guard home warranty, the homeowner will pay for a monthly plan, along with a flat rate service call fee associated with any repairs, rather than the full retail cost of replacing or repairing any of their home appliances or systems.
No. Liberty Home Guard doesn’t require a home inspection or any maintenance records to purchase a home warranty plan.
Liberty Home Guard will dispatch a licensed technician to your home within 24 - 48 (business) hours of your request. Extenuating circumstances do apply.

Yes, there are some limitations to what a home warranty plan can cover. Home warranties cover breakdowns that occur due to normal wear and tear. For example, if a fan in your AC unit breaks due to natural use, LHG would cover the replacement. However, if that AC was broken from human misuse or a natural event, it would not fall under our coverage.
No, it doesn’t. You can get an LHG warranty plan no matter the age of your appliances.
You can start requesting service after 30-60 days depending on the coverage you purchase. If you purchased your plan while buying your home, ask your agent about whether or not we start coverage on the day the escrow closes.
If, for any reason, you need to change your plan, you can do so within the first 30 days of purchasing your coverage. To make a switch call (833) 544-8273
