Should I change the locks?

When moving home, it is understandably an exciting but also stressful time.

However in this short article, co-owner of SheffLOCK and Ex-Detective Constable Chris Hanson explains that changing the locks to your home should be the very first security consideration:

The perfect crime committed is one whereby the offender is not seen, heard and does not leave any forensic evidence what so ever.

It is often the case that during the course of a burglary, the offender(s) will also steal a set of keys to the house to ensure easy access if they wish to return.

If an offender has a key to your home, they can essentially come and go at a time and date convenient to them - I’m sure you will agree that that is a worrying thought!

Ask yourself this question when moving into your new home.

“How many keys are in circulation for the current locks installed and am I 100% certain who actually has a copy?”

When moving into your new home, especially new build type properties, it is common practice for homeowners to consider home security via installing a house alarm system or CCTV.

Very few, if any, consider assessing the doors, windows and locks that burglars attack to verify if they are approved locks.

The most attacked products to gain entry to peoples homes are locks.

However having the very best locks installed means nothing if the key falls into the wrong hands.

It’s a small cost in the grand scheme of things but a huge benefit.

Also consider this ...... If you moved into a new property and you were burgled by someone who used a key, your insurance company would not pay out.

Furthermore, while you’re moving your belongings into your new property, it won’t be occupied at all times, though it will contain many of your valuables, conveniently boxed up and marked.

Wrongly fitted locks can be snapped or not function correctly putting wear on your new smart lock and reducing its life. When changing to smart locks it is worth noting that you have another means of entry in case the power or Wi-Fi connection fails. You can always keep a key in a key safe for emergencies.
