When you move into a new home, you have no idea how many people might have had a copy of the key to your home before you moved in. In addition to this, there is always the possibility that the lock of your door is master keyed, especially if there was any recent construction done to it, or if it is a completely new home. If your lock was master keyed, it very likely means that there are additional master pins left in your lock. This increases the number of keys that can be used to open the door, while simultaneously decreasing the amount of control you have over your lock.
