7 Reasons to replace door locks in your home

To protect your home from theft and intrusions, you need high-quality door locks. Your door locks are the first line of defence when your property is targeted by opportunistic thieves, hence why it’s essential that you invest in secure locks for your home!

As soon as security is compromised, you need to make sure that you replace your existing locks with new ones, this will allow you to regain control of your property.

When it comes to updating your locks, whether it be a complete upgrade or a simple addition of padlocks, you can rest assured that LockShop Direct have a complete range of locks and padlocks that are guaranteed to match your security needs.

There are countless reasons why you need to replace your locks, including the following:

Tenants moved out

Depending on the circumstances, you should consider replacing your door locks with new ones. For nasty circumstances like separation and divorce, changing the locks tends to be one of the first things that homeowners do.

Any tenants or roommates that have moved out may have had a key cut to your property, so even though they returned the one that you issued to them, they could well still have one. Spare keys leave your property at greater risk of being broken into, hence why you need new locks to deliver a sense of safety and security.

Moving property

Perhaps you’re moving into a brand-new house? Although there wouldn’t have been any previous owners, you cannot be too sure just how many copies of your keys have been made. Installing new locks to your doors will provide you with the peace of mind that there are no duplicate keys anywhere- and what’s more, the door locks supplied by LockShop Direct are priced suitably for all budget requirements.

Wear and Tear

Like anything else, your door locks can deteriorate with age, leaving you with no option but to update them. Any locks that show signs of weakness or deterioration need to be replaced with new ones, otherwise your safety could be compromised, and your property could be more appealing to burglars!

Choosing not to update your lock will make it easier for burglars to gain access to your property because your locks will be easier to pick. The installation of padlocks and new locks can be used as a deterrent for thieves, protecting your property from break-ins.

Break-Ins

If you’ve recently had your personal space invaded by criminals, the need to replace locks is vital! When intruders break an entry, they damage your locks (unless you leave the front door unlocked).

Whether it be lock manipulation or the picking of locks, your doors won’t be secure after a break in. Not replacing your locks will leave your property vulnerable to repeat break-ins, hence why it’s so important that you change them.

Whilst in your property, burglars could have tampered with your locks, making it easier for them to enter your property in the future. LockShop Direct supply a wide range of padlocks that enable you to upgrade security whilst restricting unauthorised access.

Lost or Stolen Keys
