TIPS FOR SECURITY

Protect Windows: The fact is that door windows may look pretty, but they are a serious home security risk. If your window is located within an arm’s reach of the door lock, it’s very easy to smash it and stick your arm through to unlock the door. If you’re installing a brand new door, simply choose one without a window; and if you already have a door with a window, make sure that the glass is re-enforced, and consider adding extra metal re enforcement or decorative bars. To be extra careful, add a second door lock at the floor level – too far for a burglar to reach down if they break the door windowpane.

NEVER FORCE A KEY

You may not realise that might be using too much force with your key, or you may even be putting your car key in the door by mistake. If your key is not turning with ease, take it out and check you are using the right one — otherwise you may have two broken keys on your hands!

What’s the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?

Replacing a lock is self-explanatory: the locksmith changes your old lock with a new one. Rekeying, on the other hand, is a bit different – the locksmith replaces the working key of the lock but keeps the same lock. The lock is, however, taken apart and some parts inside are replaced (the “key pins” or “tumblers”). Replacing the key pins is a simple procedure, where the pins are changed or rearranged so the old key will no longer work in conjunction with the existing lock.
