Should I Change or Rekey My Locks?

Changing locks is a simple task that can easily improve the quality of your security whether it be in your home, office space, other properties etc. For example if you are moving into a home that was once inhabited by others, it’s always wise to change or rekey the locks to further insure the protection of your home. There are situations where previous key owners, housekeepers or maintenance technicians had key access to the home which in some instances led to break-ins. Regardless of who lived in your house before, it is wise to either rekey or change your locks before moving all your valuables and family in.

Rekeying and changing locks also applies to someone moving into a new office space, as it is very important to secure the space to further protect your office’s security at all times.

Many times changing locks or rekeying could be a solution for divorces or breakups. If you are a home or apartment owner and no longer want your significant other to access your space, rekeying is the way to go.

Advisory for Handcuffs
So one Tuesday I’m sitting around in our locksmith shop. It’s a slow Tuesday as many Tuesday’s seem to be, It was just me at the shop. As I am surfing the internet a guy comes into the shop asking me if we have some handcuff and legcuff keys. I said sure and I pointed out to some. He then looked at me in distress and said “I need the best ones you have”. I said alright and sold him the same one.
A few hours later the guy came back and said that the key didn’t work and asked me if I could come with him to undo the handcuffs. Before I agreed I just wanted to make sure who ever is locked up is not running from the law. I refunded him for the key and followed him to his place.
I find a woman hand and legcuffed together with all her limbs cuffed behind her back.
That was probably my most interesting experience at the job.
