Protecting Your Home
Your home is a place of safety and comfort, where protecting your family and valuables is a top priority. Strong doors, secure windows, and reliable locks form the foundation of home security. At Securitex Locksmith, we suggest enhancing protection with patented key control systems, such as Medeco keys. Unlike standard keys that can be copied almost anywhere, patented keys require authorized dealers and strict verification to duplicate, ensuring only approved individuals can gain access and significantly lowering the risk of unauthorized entry.
SIGNS IT'S TIME TO REPLACE OR UPGRADE YOUR LOCKS
Recognizing when to replace your locks is just as important as having quality locks installed. Signs like rust, wear, or difficulty turning the key indicate it’s time for a replacement to maintain security. Locks damaged by break-ins or attempted theft should be replaced immediately to protect your home. Lost or stolen keys present another security concern. Re-keying or installing new locks can quickly restore safety. For added convenience, consider a keyless combination lock like the SmartCode system, which allows secure access with a customizable code while often including a traditional key backup for flexibility.
Securing Your Home During Tenant or Roommate Change
When tenants or roommates move out, re-keying or replacing your locks is a crucial step. Even if keys are returned, there’s no way to be certain they haven’t been copied or shared. Updating your locks guarantees that only current residents have access, enhancing safety and peace of mind. This simple precaution protects your family, belongings, and privacy, making it a smart and responsible approach to home security whenever living arrangements change.
