Home & Business Security Questions

12. Should I change the locks when moving into a new home in Brooklyn?

Yes! You don't know how many copies of your keys exist. Rekeying is a smart, affordable solution - and 24/7 Locksmith Brooklyn can do it fast.

13. What does it mean to rekey a lock, and when should I consider it?

Rekeying means changing the lock's internal pins so old keys stop working. It's cheaper than replacing the whole lock and is a must if you've moved in recently, lost keys, or had a roommate move out.

A few ways:

• Install high-security deadbolts

• Use a master key system to control access
• Consider security cameras & alarms
