Inspection of the Locks on your Las Vegas Home; Do they Need to be Changed or Rekeyed?

Your home is a source of retreat for those who reside in it; a place to relax from the outside world and also a shelter of protection, safe guarding you, your family and your belongings. If someone wants to break into your home, they can usually find a way, depending on how much time they have to attempt the break in. Locks on your doors act as an obstacle to prevent criminals from gaining access into your home long enough to be detected. If you have faulty locks on your home, doors, windows and other access areas; then you are making it much easier for a criminal to get into your home.

Dead Bolt Locksmithing

A great way to ensure the safety of you and your family and avoiding a potential break in is to analyze the locks around your home. Dead bolt locks are most effective when it comes to someone attempting to go right through your front door. Unfortunately, often times a dead bolt lock is improperly installed, and the hole in the door frame is not drilled far back enough to allow the dead bolt to fully extend. If the dead bolt is unable to be fully extended, then it is useless, making it extremely easy to break into your home through the front door. Check your front door’s locks and make sure they have been properly installed and are lubricated and tightened.

Changing Locks VS Rekeying
Changing the locks on your home is important if you have recently moved in, given your key out to a contractor, or lost a key to your home. You never know how many copies of the key are floating around, especially if you have just moved into a new place and the previous owner or landlord insists that it was just barely rekeyed. Take the initiative and replace every lock on your home so you can have the peace of mind that you and your family are the only ones who can gain access in to the home with a key.
