"The best lock is a deadbolt that’s properly installed"
Locksmith Pros Tip #1 - Deadbolts should have at least a one-inch “throw.” On the “strike side,” there should be a security plate with screws at least three inches long that go all the way into the door’s wood frame. Locksmiths know what locks are safe to install and if you need more tips read this article on signs your house is vulnerable to burglars.
"Use a double cylinder lock to avoid break-ins"
Locksmith Pros Tip #2 - If you have a window on or near your door, a thumb-turn deadbolt won’t do much good. Burglars could easily knock out the glass, stick a hand in, and turn. Get a double cylinder lock that needs a key on the inside. Here are more secrets a burglar would never tell you. Also in some cases a double sided cylinder can be a Fire Safety HAZARD!
"When you buy a new house, always have your locks re-keyed"
Locksmith Pros Tip #3 - In most cases there’s probably a master key out there that can easily open your home from prior residents, tenant, realtors, landlords etc. Always Call Locksmith Pros for any lock out change, repairs or new keys.
Many locksmiths in the phone book or online are Scam Artists and Call Centers.
Locksmith Pros Tip #4 -Don’t fall for offers that sound too good to be true! They’ll quote you a great price, but when they get there, they’ll say you have a special lock they can’t pick, so they have to drill it open. Call a real, local locksmith professional today in La Quinta, Ca.
