Tips on all your lock and key needs

Misplacing keys, frustrating locks, home security issues and lock installations can be easier to solve than you may think. Here are a few tips for all your lock and key needs.

Misplaced keys If you find yourself often misplacing keys, it may be a good idea to use color-coded key chains that are connected to a radio transmitter. When you lose a key, simply press the button that matches the key color, and a buzzer will go off on the key in question. No longer will you be late for an appointment while looking for a lost key!

New home? New key!

Anytime you move into a new place, have all the locks on doors re-keyed. This will give you the peace of mind that you are the only one with the key to your home.

Strategic spares

Even the most conscientious person locks themselves outside every now and then. Hide a spare key in an inconspicuous place, install a key box for optimal hide-a-key security, or leave an extra key with a nearby neighbour.

Get rid of old locks

While they may look nice, old locks are usually unsafe. A master locksmith can help you keep the quaint look of an old lock, while installing a safer option.

Consider a keypad

Keypads are safe alternatives to locks. They are also optimal for homes where many people live, and do not require keeping up with many keys.
