You've Lost Your Keys

Losing the key to your home or office can be disconcerting and stressful. First, you have to get a new key, but second, you are unsure where your key went and who then might have access to your property. It's a good idea to change your lock if you've lost your key.

The Lock Keeps Sticking

The mechanical components of locks do wear out, making it difficult to open and then lock the door. Not only is this frustrating, but the integrity of your lock is compromised, meaning it could be easier for someone to break in, or for the lock to fail in general.

You're Unsure Who Has a Key

There are times when you give your key out to others. This can be if you rent your home, have a pet sitter come into your home, or if you own a business, you give a key to employees. Since keys are easily copied, this can mean the potential of having many people with a key to your property. Change your locks regularly if you give your key out frequently.

You Can't Remember the Last Time You Changed Your Locks

If it's been years since you've changed your home or office's locks, then it's time to call your local locksmith and have this done. This will ensure your home or office is secure with a new lock that is not compromised in any way.
