Ok if I ask re-key or change the lock? A door acts as a first guard for your security. The door in question could be the front door of your house, your office or a car door. Doors give us a sense of security, which is why the industry has advanced when we consider highly efficient locks that are now being installed to increase the security of a homeowner, office owner or a car owner. BUT, if you aren’t sure who has the keys to your car, home or office except for you and your family, that sense of security quickly falls equal to null or zero.

  • When you are uncertain about the security of your locked door, you and your family naturally get worried about intruders. Or at least a possibility of an intrusion. During these situations, it is highly and extremely important that you change or re-key your locks. How to know if your worries are true and if your door locks really need to be changed or re-keyed?
