This is something that should be on everyone’s list when moving home, below we will provide more information on why it is so important to acquire the services of a locksmith.
Keep Your New Home Secure
Getting settled into a new property is a hard task with all the unpacking and excitement going on, so calling a locksmith may not be at the top of the list of your things to do if it’s on their at all! However, there are risks to take into consideration that could potentially leave your new home vulnerable. An example would be that the previous owner might still have a copy of your keys meaning they would have unrestricted access to your property and belongings. Not changing your locks at your new property could prove more costly and stressful than adding calling a locksmith to your things to do list!
Is It Worth The Risk?
You may have met the previous owner and decided they do not seem like the type of person that would pose a risk to your new property; however that is not the only thing you need to consider. What if they have lost keys in the past or given copies to friends or family that might not seem so trustworthy when it comes to your belongings! The simple fact is there is no way of knowing who might have access to your property that you are unaware of. In addition, insurance companies will not pay out if a key has been used to gain access to your property. So is it worth the risk?
Getting a New Lock Installed
Getting a new lock installed is quick, easy and inexpensive and any good local locksmith will be able to do this for you. It is important to make sure that you choose a good secure lock for your property, again most good locksmiths will advise you on the best locks to choose.
