6 Reasons Why Changing Locks Make You More Secure

It’s your home. Your sanctuary. It’s where you and your family go to feel secure after a day of facing a world of insecurities. While people will do a wide variety of maintenance on everything else around their home, most forget or simply ignore the most important maintenance required to keep their home feeling safe – their door locks.

Here are six clear and simple occasions when Changing Door Locks must make it onto your to-do list.

1. You’ve moved into a new home. There’s no way for you to know how many people were given keys by the previous owners.  Changing Door Locks should be one of the very first actions you take when you move in.

2. You lose your keys. You have no way of knowing who has had their hands on your key. Even if some kind person is good enough to return your key, someone in their circle might not have had such good intentions, and it would take them next to no time to get a standard key copied.

3. You’re going through a separation or divorce. Even if it’s amicable, a divorce or separation can be a moment of emotional turmoil. It only takes one moment of heightened anger for you to come home and find half of your possessions gone.

4.  Worn locks can fail. Just like any device with moving parts, a lock will eventually get worn out. You may come home to find that the person your lock is keeping out is you. Changing Sliding Door Locks will ensure that only the right people cross that threshold.

5. You’ve had an attempted break-in. While your current locks kept that wanna-be burglar out this time, that doesn’t mean they won’t return knowing which tools they need for a successful invasion. Changing Sliding Door Locks will let them know that your home is a place where security is taken very seriously, and it isn’t worth their time or the risk to keep trying.

6. Keys travel and multiply. You’ve given your children keys. Or perhaps the neighbours so they can keep an eye on your house while you travel. Maybe you gave a set to a maid or a repair-person. Or a roommate might be leaving. Though you trust these particular people implicitly, that doesn’t mean that someone in their circle couldn’t grab your key behind their backs for the time it takes to get a copy made.
