Flatirons Locksmiths: To Re-key Is Key to Your New Home’s Security.

It is indeed better to be safe than sorry. This is why we do things like changing our computer passwords for all of the many information systems we need access to. It’s why we don’t give social security numbers to telemarketers. It’s why we don’t blowdry our hair while in the shower…it’s also why we re-key the locks when we move into a new home or apartment.

Honestly, you’ve just paid the bank tens of thousands of dollars in closing costs, inspections, down payment, and probably several other expenses before you closed the mortgage on your new home. Why not spend a few extra bucks to re-key your locks? Truth is, you never really know who lived in your home previously and you definitely don’t know how many keys they had made and who they gave them out to.

All of the do-it-yourselfers are out there are saying something like, “I can change the locks myself.” Sure, you can buy generic, one size fits all kits to help you try to do this sort of thing at your local hardware store or home center. But, there are reasons why this may not be the best solution for you.

First of all, having a professionally trained and skilled locksmith re-key for you may be the cheapest thing you do during your entire move. Incidentally, have you seen what movers are charging these days? Second of all, with all the packing and unpacking, utility companies to call, neighbors to visit, decorating to do, etc., do you really need to add changing the locks to your to-do list?

Re-keying your locks is important to contributing to the feeling of being safe and sound in your new home. In today’s changing world, security is becoming more and more important. Don’t leave the safety of your home, it’s contents, and your loved ones up to a kit anyone can buy at the local Home Depot. You have skilled professionals for many other aspects of your life, why wouldn’t you have one for your home security?
