Most people understand that it’s a good idea to change your home or business property’s locks periodically, but few actually do it. With R.J. Lock & Security, we make safety easy and hassle-free. The experts at R.J. Lock & Security offer guidance on the three best times to change your locks.
When Should I Change My Home’s Locks
1. Moving, Buying a Home, or New Roommates
When you buy a new home, schedule a consultation with R.J. Lock & Security so that you can have a professional locksmith inspect your locks for age or damage, and get recommendations on how to best secure your home. If you’re renting an apartment, be sure that the building managers have the locks changed as soon as the old tenants have moved out, and that you, your roommates, and your landlord, are the only ones with keys.
2. Lost Keys
Even if you lose one set of keys, you should replace your locks. As an extra measure of protection, be sure to never keep your home address on your keys or key-ring.
3. Old Locks
Over time, wear and tear can impact your lock, making it difficult to lock and unlock your door using the key. For your own safety, don’t leave older locks vulnerable to tampering. Keeping keys and locks up to date is the first step to protecting your valuables and family.
The best way to be sure that your home is protected is by using layered protection, such as motion sensors, an alarm system, and lights. Contact the security experts at R.J. Lock and Security for help with changing your locks or adding more layers of protection to your home or business.
