Are you moving into a new home or business? Get your locks changed today to secure your property. Anytime you move into a new residence or business you should make sure you change the exterior locks. Many people fail to understand that they are without a doubt putting their security at risk. Just imagine how many different people may have keys to your residence or perhaps your commercial property and you will see just why this is so important to have your locks changed.

Changing the locks is simple, fast, and economical and will give peace of mind that your residential property or business is properly secured.

While some residential lock sets allow you to change the lock yourself, it is necessary to have a professional locksmith to change commercial locks since they are a bit more difficult to re-key and will require some lock skill to take off the locks in order to easily access the lock cylinders to change them properly.

When should you change your locks?

  1. You want your locks to be a different color or design. For example, if you moved into a new home and the locks are old, outdated, and rusted, you may want to get a new; nicer looking locks.
  2. When you want to upgrade your security and change your locks to high security locks or electronic locks.
  3. If you have locks of different brands throughout your house and you want them all to work on the same key, you will need to change some locks so that all your locks will be of the same brand (or have the same type of keyway), only then you can re-key them all to one key.
  4. In cases where you have one or more locks installed but don’t have the key for all of them, you will need to compare the price of a new lock versus rekeying them without a key (which requires extra labor) and make an informed decision as to what is more cost effective.
