Rekey after moving, strengthen the entry points, use quality deadbolts, control spare keys and review overlooked openings.
Rekey after a move
You cannot know how many copies of the old key exist. Rekeying changes access without necessarily replacing good hardware.
Use quality deadbolts
A secure lock must pair with a solid door, strike and frame.
Control spare keys
Track who has a copy and avoid obvious outdoor hiding places.
Review every opening
Garage entries, sliding doors, windows and gates can be just as important as the front door.
Consider smart access carefully
Choose reliable products, strong credentials and a physical backup plan.
