As professional locksmiths at LOCKTEC Inc., we always make it a point to advise our clients about the benefits of rekeying their locks from time to time. Homeowners and business owners must have their locks rekeyed if they give their keys to contractors for remodeling or to their assistants to open and lock up the place. While sharing the spare keys with these individuals offers convenience, property owners still need to be cautious. Once the contractor’s job is done, or if the assistant is let go, it is the property owner’s duty to have their locks rekeyed. This will ensure that the security of the premises isn’t compromised.

Did you know, in many cases, burglaries are the result of security negligence, whether it’s at home or work? In some cases, the inadequate security systems or features of a building may also serve as an open invitation for vandals to come in and damage the place.

In today’s fast-paced world, where you may not even know the name of your neighbors, it’s important to take precautions and invest in a home security system to safeguard your home against burglary. While a security specialist could create a customized solution to protect your home, many choose to install and maintain a security system on their own, which often leads to dire consequences.
