Tips To Keep Your house Secure
- Evaluate the condition of your doors. Metal and solid wood are the best choices to prevent kick ins.
- Quality lock installation. Knobs and deadbolts with a one inch throw are recommended on each door. If there is glass near the door, a double sided deadbolt is a good prevention against unlocking like with a single keyed lock.
- High security locks with keys that cannot be duplicated with out authorization.
- Re-key all doors when moving into a new home.
- Strike plates for extra security. A strike plate is attached the doorjamb with holes for the bolt. The bolt goes into the hole to keep the door securely closed. Be sure the strike plate is held with two 3-inch screws that extend to the stud in the door frame.
- Do not leave spare keys outside the home.
- Be sure all windows and doors are locked before leaving, even if it is only for a walk around the block. Pay attention to the garage door as it closes to be sure no one is sneaking in.
Residential Locksmith FAQs
How much do locksmiths charge in Vancouver?
The locksmith fee can vary from one business to another. But the average cost is $50 to $100 to come to your premises during regular business hours.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?
Rekeying a lock is more affordable than replacing a lock. The reason is that the key pins inside the lock are cheaper compared to replacing the whole lock. You pay for the brand and the new parts when you replace a lock.
Are you supposed to change the locks when you buy a house?
When moving into a new home, we recommend replacing the old locks with new ones. This is because you do not know how many copies of the keys are available. In addition, the previous owner might still have a set of keys to enter your house. Thus changing the locks keeps your new home secure.
How much does it cost to replace house door locks?
Changing house door locks can vary between $45 and $500. This includes the labor and hardware. Yet, it also depends on the type of door lock you install, as each lock comes with different features that can affect the end costs.
Can a locksmith install a deadbolt?
When you use our locksmith services, our professional team can install a deadbolt for you in a few hours. In contrast, you may get it done cheaper by buying the parts to install it. In addition, using a locksmith will provide you with a guarantee on the work if something ever happens with the deadbolt and it malfunctions.
Does home insurance cover broken door locks?
Usually, you can claim from your home insurance for the front door lock if broken. The front door lock is part of the whole house and is typically covered by insurance. Still, it depends on what caused the lock to break. For example, if an intruder broke into your front door, they would pay to replace it.
Can locksmiths open doors without changing locks?
Yes, a locksmith can open your door without changing the lock. One common way is to pick the lock using a lock-picking kit. It leaves the lock in good working order. Hence, it can still work perfectly without needing replacing.
