6 Instances That Warrant a Change of Locks

• Keeping your home secure at all times, is
  essential, no matter where you live or what type
  of home you live in, and sometimes, changing the
  locks is the only way to achieve this.
• Below are 6 instances that warrant a change of
  locks, and remember, this should always be
  carried out by a licensed locksmith
• 1.When you move into a new home
• You just dont know who might still have keys to
  your new home, from previous owners and their
  friends and family, to contractors, dog sitters
  andcleaners, so it makes sense to have all of the
  locks changed for your security and peace of mind.

• A change of tenants
• If you own a rental property (or several), you
  should always have the locks changed between
  tenancies, otherwise you could end up with many
  people being able to gain access to the property,
  and that isnt good for you or your tenants.
• If youve recently evicted someone
• Landlords should also change the locks to their
  property if they have recently evicted a tenant.
  Even if they gave you back the keys, you have no
  way of knowing if they made copies, and if the
  eviction didnt go smoothly, you might want to
  consider improving the security measures all
  round, with the help of a residential locksmith.

• When a relationship has ended
• Even if you parted on amicable terms with your
  previous partner, you just cant be sure that
  they wont want to come back to the property for
  any reason, either while youre there, or when
  youre absent, and without your knowledge or
  consent. Changing the locks can help you keep
  your home secure, and even help you accept that
  the relationship is over.

5

• If you are being stalked
• Being stalked by someone whether a stranger or
  someone from your past can be frightening, and
  if they know where you live, it can be even more
  terrifying. While you should of course, contact
  the police if youre concerned about your
  personal safety or that of your family, you
  should also take the opportunity to change and
  upgrade the locks on your home, and have a
  security expert such as a residential locksmith,
  advise you of any areas of your home in which
  security can be improved.

• After a burglary
• Whether the burglary was successful and they
  broke in and stole items from your home, or it
  was a failed attempt to break in, once someone
  has tried to get in, the chances are that theyll
  be back to try again they may even have stolen
  your keys! And if they dont come back, some
  other desperate criminal will. Without changing
  the locks after a burglary, you leave yourself,
  your home, your family and your belongings, in
  grave danger get the locks changed and look at
  other ways you might be able to reduce the
  chances of your home being targeted again by
  burglars.

• Changing the locks after any of these events or
  circumstances may seem extreme, but when you
  think of what you potentially stand to lose if
  someone gets into your home or rented property
  without your knowledge or consent, its
  absolutely worth doing.
