  • How do I know if my house locks need replacing or just rekeying?

    If your locks are in good condition but you're concerned about who has a copy of the key, such as after moving house or losing keys, rekeying is usually the better option. This changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the locks are damaged, outdated or not functioning properly, a full replacement may be needed for safety and ease of use.

  • What is the difference between a deadbolt and a standard door lock?

    A standard door lock (like a spring bolt lock) can be locked quickly but is more vulnerable to forced entry. A deadbolt, on the other hand, extends a solid metal bolt into the door frame and must be manually locked or unlocked, making it much harder to pick or break. Deadbolts are often recommended for external doors due to their superior strength.

  • How can I improve the overall security of my home?

    Improving home security starts with ensuring all doors and windows have quality locks. From there, you can add extras like sensor lights, security screens, and alarm systems. Consider rekeying locks after major life changes (e.g. tenants moving out), and make sure your keys aren't labelled with identifying info. A professional security assessment can help identify gaps and suggest tailored upgrades.
