REPLACING LOCKS

A deadbolt lock is a basic element of home security, though not all are created equal.

Once you loan out a key, key control is lost


Replacing locks

Under certain circumstances, locks must be replaced. Locks do wear, sometimes past the point where a rekey can improve their function. It’s never a bad idea to upgrade the locks you have. When you consider the people and property that your locks are protecting, it only makes sense to buy quality locking hardware.

Some may want to replace their locks for purely aesthetic reasons or to accommodate disabilities. Lever handle locks are both attractive and easier to operate than a knob. Similarly, deadbolts are available with an interior thumb turn that can be operated without grasping. Electronic locks are also becoming much more popular, but it should be remembered that what they offer is greater convenience, not security.

Consulting with a professional locksmith may be the best way to determine what you need. Rekeying is definitely the more affordable option. Should you need or choose to replace your locks, your locksmith will have access to far higher quality hardware than what is commonly found at hardware stores
