Have you recently purchased and/or a new home, apartment or business facility? Do you know with certainty where all of the keys are that are capable of operating the locks on your home or business?
If you answered "NO" to either of these questions, then you may want to consider some simple, low-cost measures that will ensure the security of your property and family.
First, you will want to consider having your current locks rekeyed and compiling a list of who will be permitted to possess a copy of those keys.
Secondly, it would be wise to have a locksmith look at your locks and assess the structural integrity of the locks you currently have on your doors. Over time, the tumblers and lock mechanisms will begin to wear out with daily use. This reduces the security of the locks and makes you more vulnerable to a would be burglar or thief.You can then have them replaced with new locks. The new locks can either be keyed to your current key or rekeyed if you are unsure of the disposition of all the copies of the keys to your property.
Third, it would be highly recommended that you have all of your locks on the same key. Current thinking within the locksmith industry is that this provides a higher level of security because you have fewer keys. Thus, there is less likelihood that you will lose a key that could get into someone's hands who has criminal intentions.
Fourth, it has been demonstrated consistently that deadbolts provide a higher level of security than a k**b lock. It may even be advisable to change your k**b lock to an un-keyed entry and add a deadbolt. Another common alternative is to have both a k**b lock and a deadbolt on the same door that can be opened by the same key.
In summary, above are listed some simple measures that will provide you with a greater level of security in your home or business. These measures would be far less expensive than the expenses you would incur if someone were able to break into your home or business and cause damage or steal valuables and personal mementos or family heirlooms.
