A lock rekeying service is when a lock is changed to work with new keys, this is generally done when someone moves into a new home, after a breakup, and for many other various reasons. A lock rekeying service, or key changing service, is typically the more affordable option when compared to a lock changing service, as the same locks stay on the door but a different key is set to work with them. After a lock is rekeyed, the new keys are provided and the old keys no longer work. Many people will rekey their locks if they have multiple different locks but want them to be on the same key, as long as the locks in question are on the same keyway. Many lock brands have proprietary keyways, meaning that for example, a Kwikset key won’t fit into a Schlage lock and vice-versa.

Home Rekeying in Longmont, Colorado - 24 Hour Locksmiths

Looking to have your home locks rekeyed or changed? We can help! (303) 900-0549

A lock rekeying service is often also referred to as a lock changing service, however, there is a difference between the two. When a lock is rekeyed a different key will operate it, versus a lock changing service, wherein the entire lock hardware is replaced or changed completely. It can generally be said that rekeying an existing lock to work with different keys is a cheaper alternative than replacing the entire lock completely, but it depends on the lock in question. Rekeying is typically the more affordable option versus replacing a lock, especially if it’s still fully functional. Lock rekeying services are often referred to as key-changing services as well.

Here at Locksmith Services Longmont all of our technicians have years of experience and the necessary tools required to rekey home locks in Longmont, Colorado. Additionally, all of our lock rekeying services in Longmont, Colorado, and the surrounding areas come with a free 90-day guarantee of service.

All of our mobile Longmont locksmiths have the proper tools needed to rekey existing locks to work with different keys, also known as key changing services. Our mobile locksmiths can assist with all types of home locks such as brands like Schlage, Kwikset, Defiant, Baldwin, BHP,  and many more popular brands. Instead of replacing a fully functional lock with completely different hardware, we recommend instead rekeying it to work with a different key. Rekeying is generally a cheaper alternative to replacing the hardware completely as the existing hardware stays on the door but a different key will operate it. Usually, when a lock is rekeyed, it will be removed from the door and different locking pins will replace the existing ones in order to match a new key, before being reinstalled on the door.

There are many different situations that may prompt a homeowner to rekey their home locks, but the most common reasons include moving into a new home, when going through a breakup, when a key is missing completely, or if a key has been given out but not returned. Retaining key control of your home locks is an important part of security, as locks will be practically pointless if an intruder has a working copy of the key. It should also be said that rekeying a lock will not fix any issues that may already exist with the lock in question, for example, if a lock is not turning easily with the thumb turn, a lock rekeying service will not fix the issue. Lock rekeying services only change the keys that will operate the lock. Because the same hardware stays on the door, it will continue to function as it was before it was rekeyed.

Not only can our professional mobile locksmiths in Longmont assist with home lock rekeying services, but they can also assist with a wide range of different locksmith services in Longmont, Colorado, and the surrounding areas.

Rekeying

locksmith-longmont-co-lock-rekeying-services.jpg

When a lock is still functioning as it should, but new keys are required, or different operational keys, then typically a lock rekeying service is requested. Unlike a lock replacement service, rekeying a lock will keep the same locking hardware on the door, and only change the keys that operate the lock. Our expert mobile Longmont locksmiths are highly trained and professionally outfitted with the necessary tools required for successful rekeying services in Longmont, Colorado and the surrounding areas. Many homeowners and business owners find it advantageous to rekey their existing locks when they need different keys to work, as opposed to replacing their locks with new ones entirely. It can generally be said that rekeying a lock will be cheaper and more affordable than replacing it altogether, however, rekeying a lock will not fix any pre-existing damage that the lock may already be suffering from.

Homeowners often find that a professional Longmont locksmith service will be able to rekey their locks to work with a different set of operational keys. This is very practical and highly affordable for those who are on a tight budget. When a lock is rekeyed, it is taken apart, and the internal mechanisms known as pins or tumblers are switched to work with different keys. While this is mostly the case, there are of course other locks that are rekeyed in different ways. For the most part though, rekeying a lock is generally the most sought after option for those who are looking to lock someone out of their property, or for new owners who wish to be the only ones in possession of a working key. It’s often said that realtors, property managers, and new homeowners will seek the services of a professional locksmith service to provide lock rekeying solutions in order to lock-out previous tenants and those who no longer should have access. We provide 24-hour lock rekeying services!

Our mobile Longmont locksmiths have years of experience when it comes to rekeying existing locks to work with different keys.

A professional locksmith service is capable of installing new locks, like extra deadbolt locks, onto doors that have low security.

Installing deadbolt locks is good for increasing the security of a door from forced physical entry attacks, like a kick-in break-in attack.

Top 10 Ways To Secure Your Home Windows

There are many different ways to keep residential home windows secure from criminals. Don't let yourself fall victim to the various common mistakes that homeowners might run into. According to the FBI, burglaries of residential properties account for 71.6 percent of all burglary offenses. Windows are a common point of entry for a criminal and they tend to be left unlocked or open at much higher rates than doors - particularly in warmer weather. Check out our top 10 list for ways that a homeowner can secure their home windows against unauthorized entry from burglars and other home invaders.


10.Use plants and bushes outside residential windows

 
 

A great way to enhance both the security of a home, and the beauty of it, is by surrounding the ground floor windows with various plants and bushes. While not hindering the homeowners ability to get fresh air and see out the window, plants can be both beautiful and helpful in regards to keeping ones home safe. By planting thorny, sharp, and prickly flowers or bushes such as cacti around the outside of the home, it can drastically reduce the homes appeal to a burglar or home invader. Not only can nature help keep your home safer, but it will also look great and could potentially increase the home's value.


9. Install motion sensor lights outside ground floor windows

Another good method for securing your ground floor windows from intruders is to keep them well lit and covered by motion sensor lights. Motion sensor lights work by activating when they detect movement. These are great types of lights to add around your windows if you are trying to scare off burglars and other criminals.


8. Keep all doors and windows locked

 
 

The BJS reported that about 40% of the time criminals gain unlawful entry into an unoccupied residence, it's through an unlocked door or window. Remember to always keep your windows and doors locked when you aren't home. The most likely time for a burglary to happen is when no one is home during the summer.


7. Get security warning stickers and signs

Another great way to scare criminals away is by placing security warning stickers on your windows. Even if you don't have an alarm system, security stickers will tell intruders that you do, making them think twice about their actions. According to a study by UNC Charlotte, approximately 83 percent of burglars would try to determine if an alarm was present before attempting a burglary and 60 percent said they would seek an alternative target if there was an alarm on-site.


6. Add extra locks to all sliding windows

 
 

In a lot of cases, windows are secured by latches instead of locks, meaning they can be more easily compromised. Add additional security hardware to further secure your windows and prevent unauthorized access. A lot of windows are easily forced open as they are only held closed by a plastic tab that can be broken. Keep your windows locked tight with interior metal window locks. These block the tracks that the windows slide in so that the window can't be moved.


5. Keep all windows barred shut

In addition to keeping your windows locked you could invest in some security bars to keep your windows barred shut. Security bars are an important tool for keeping your most vulnerable windows secure such as those that face busy streets, dark alleys, parking lots, and trails. Show criminals that you're prepared for them with a visible security bar and make them reconsider selecting your home as an easy target. Prime-Line Products offers steel window bars through suppliers such as Amazon.


4. Keep window blinds and curtains closed

 
 

Keep your windows covered so criminals can't see inside your home. Don't let potential burglars or home invaders window shop your belongings. Keep prying eyes out and your windows covered with blinds and curtains. Another great security solution is to replace your transparent glass window with frosted glass to obscure vision into your home.


3. Use window alarms to alert you of movement

There are many standalone alarms you can purchase to keep your windows protected. Window alarms are perfect for downstairs windows, that are near entryways, or in bedrooms; as they simply stick to glass with no installation. The vibration of the glass sets off the alarm which should wake and alert everyone home that someone is breaking in. Not only do these devices alert you to any potential break-ins, but they are also visible to criminals. This lets them know that by breaking into your home they will be drawing a lot of attention to themselves, which is something thieves and burglars try to avoid.


2. Use metal bars or grills on ground floor windows

 
 

Although bars might not be the most attractive things to look at, they are excellent for keeping burglars or home invaders out. Research shows that that if it takes more than four or five minutes to break into a building, the criminal will go elsewhere. Security bars and grills provide too tight an obstacle for burglars to climb through, yet they are large enough to not obscure your view or airflow. The only downside to burglar bars is that they could pose a potential fire hazard.


1. Reinforce glass windows

 
 

The statistics show that in the USA, of all burglaries in 2010, 60% involved forcible entry. Reinforce your glass windows by covering them with a clear protective film to keep them from being shattered easily. You could also invest in stronger glass for your windows such as reinforced glass, smash-proof glass, acrylic glass, or Polycarbonate.


Keep Your Home Windows Secure

Your safety is important and that's why you should always be mindful of residential window security. Don't undermine your home's safety by neglecting the security of your windows. Remember that your home's security is only as strong as it's weakest link, so stay safe and stay protected.
