Should I rekey or replace my locks? expand_more
Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks? expand_more
These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.
I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more
Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.
Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more
Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.
How can I secure my sliding glass door? expand_more
Sliding doors are vulnerable points. We recommend a security bar in the track, anti-lift pins in the frame, and a sliding door lock that engages at multiple points. We install all of these and can assess your specific door.
