Under certain circumstances, it’s best to get a new set of keys rather than continuing to use the ones you have. But which situations call for a key replacement? According to the locksmiths at A-Tri-County Lock, serving Akron, Canton, and Cleveland, OH, there are four major signs you should watch out for.

These locksmiths recommend getting new keys if you:

• Have A Rusted Or Broken Lock: If your lock is starting to rust or your keys are getting stuck when you insert them, you should consider calling a locksmith for a replacement to avoid getting locked out of your home for good.
• Experienced A Burglary: After someone breaks into your home, there’s a good chance they damaged your lock system or even stole a set of your keys. The only way to make sure you and your property are safe is to replace your keys.
• Have New Tenants: Even if you collected all sets of keys from your previous tenants, you never know if they made copies or not. It’s your responsibility as the property owner to protect all future tenants from potential break-ins.
• Misplaced Your Keys: Can’t find your keys? While there’s a chance they’re still in your possession, play it safe and get a locksmith to cut you some replacements.
