Moving Into A New Home: Should You Change Your Locks?

Should I Change Locks When You Moving To A New Home?

When You Moving Into a new home there are so many things that should be done during and after a move that it’s easy for homeowners to forget about prioritizing the security of their home.
However, the most important thing to do for new homeowners or renters is if it is possible to Re-key the lock or if it is necessary and the lock is in bad condition, then it is required to change locks to ensure optimal security of their belongings and property as a whole.
In many cases, the previous occupants of any home usually have several copies of your keys, regardless of the fact that they are obligated to surrender all of them.

This is not only a security and safety issue, but it can put a sting on your insurance claim in the future. This makes changing locks once you move into a new home important.

It’s also important to ensure that you assess locks and find out how they are graded by the American National Standards Institute.
This is an authoritative body that sets standards for products, thus ensuring that performance and characteristics are met.
This grading will let you know just how well a lock performs, as well as whether it can be rekeyed or should be replaced altogether if damaged.
Installing a deadbolt is a good idea as it provides additional security.

The main garage doors, the doors connecting the garage as well as any other exterior doors leading to your house are the most important areas that should be attended to immediately. This is something that a get pro locksmith can help you with.

You have every right to ask your landlord to change your locks and make inquiries about who will have access to your home.
Many apartment complexes usually have masker key systems that allow maintenance personnel to enter your apartment.
In the case of a townhouse or condominium, you will want to inquire about community association. For instance, what are the rules regarding how your lock can look from the outside?

When it comes to re-keying or replacing all the locks in your home, it’s always important to ensure that a professional Woodland Hills locksmith does it. Attempting to do this on your own may end up compromising the integrity of the door as you try to drill a hole for the lock or otherwise. A professional locksmith will install new locks fast and effectively, thus giving you peace of mind that your property is secure.

I needed an aftermarket remote fob for my 2011 VW programmed and the key cut. I went to the storefront on Tampa Ave. in Tarzana and Sean quickly attended to the project, roadside. The service was friendly and quick. He told me exactly what to expect and he was successful in the project, which others had told me “might not work” with my aftermarket fob. The price was less than any of the other locksmiths I had called.  I highly recommend Sean at Get Pro Locksmith on Tampa Ave in Tarzana.  I never ever write reviews but I felt he deserved mention for the excellent, friendly service received at a good price.

I was in advertising for many years, and I have never advertised or written a comment like I'm going to write now. These are the most wonderful people! You will be so glad that you worked with them any in any capacity especially calling them for help! In every way they are kind hearted, they are intelligent, they respond within in a very short time! They remember you and, as I found out, any follow-up details they won't get paid for they respond to immediately and with much kindness! There are so many people and businesses that only care about money I hope that these people truly succeed! Also they had to make a key for a very old car -not a simple job... and they did it very fast! Great skills!
