Reasons You Need a Local Locksmith

There are many reasons why you should use a local locksmith, and the reasons aren’t just down to being locked out of your home, business, or  car. Here are some of the reasons why you may need local locksmith services: 

-Moving In: If you’ve recently moved into a new home, or are planning to move sometime soon, something to consider is the fact that numerous people could have copies of your keys, including plumbers, contractors, and real estate agents. To protect yourself and your security, you should consider using your local locksmith services to change your locks. If you live in a rental property, landlords don’t typically change the locks between tenants so old tenants could still hold copies of keys. With a landlord's permission, you could bring out a locksmith to do lock changes so you and your landlord are now the only people who hold key copies.

-Stolen or Lost Keys: It can be very easy to lose your keys, such as dropping them while out shopping or having a bag stolen that had them inside. Not only is this a frustrating experience, but it can also affect your security and safety if someone were able to match your key to your door. A locksmith can be called round to change the locks and replace the keys, letting you once again access your home and preventing anyone else from doing so with your old keys. 

-Damaged Keys: Typically, keys are made from brass or a nickel and brass mixture, which makes the key sturdy to start with, but over time this material is prone to rusting and wear and tear. This could lead to keys breaking, most often breaking inside of rusted or frozen locks. When this happens, instead of making full lock changes, a locksmith can instead remove the key from the lock and make replacement keys, a cheaper alternative to replacing the lock. 

-Damaged Locks: Like keys, over time locks can lose their durability, leading to a “sticky” feeling when trying to turn a key inside of it. Not only is a worn down lock more easily picked, but keys are more likely to break inside of them. The best course of action if you think your locks are damaged is to use your local locksmith services to replace the lock and rekey before the lock fails.
