If you only have one door key you are at higher risk of losing it, misplacing it or locking yourself out of your house or apartment. If you make a duplicate then the chances of never seeing your couch or bed again lessens. People make duplicate keys all time. They either put them in a drawer so that if they misplace their key they have another one handy. Or they make a duplicate key and give it to a close friend. That way if they lock themselves out, they have a spare.
No matter where you live break-ins are always possible. Whether you live in an affluent neighborhood or a more edgy community it’s important to protect yourself and your valuables. Security locks send a message to criminals that your apartment or house is well protected. Your safety is your prize possession a security lock will deter a lot of criminals while a regular lock won’t. Be safe, get security locks.
Replacing a lock can get very expensive. A locksmith will charge you more for changing your locks instead of just rekeying them. That’s the main reason people opt to rekey their locks instead of change them. Rekeying locks also takes less time. Still some people don’t feel entirely safe until they change the lock completely. If you trust that once your lock is rekeyed that no one with a copy of the old key can get in, then rekeying locks is the best way to go for you. It will save you time and money.
