From moving into a new office to making necessary changes as a result of a previous break-in, there are a handful of reasons you might need to hire a locksmith to change the locks on your home or business. Even if you haven't experienced any issues in the past, you can never be too careful when it comes to your security. If you're wondering if it's worth investing in a lock and key replacement, follow the guide below for a closer look at some of the most common situations that may warrant a replacement. 

When Should You Change Your Locks? 

Purchasing a New Home or Office

locksmithIf you just purchased a home or an office building, now is a great time to change your locks. As exciting as your new purchase may be, you may not know who had keys in the past, or who still has access to them now. This uncertainty is reason enough to hire a locksmith for a fresh and secure start. Certain homes and businesses may have had a large number of owners without any lock changes, which makes this change necessary both for safety reasons and as a general update to old and worn locks.

Experiencing a Break-In 

In some cases, you may find yourself calling a locksmith as a result of previous security breaches or related concerns. Those who have experienced an attempted or successful break-in are among the most likely candidates for new locks. A locksmith can install new locks and provide you with safety tips to ensure that you avoid break-ins in the future. 

Misplacing or Lending Keys 

Other reasons for changing your locks may not be as urgent, but you should still act promptly when you find yourself in different situations. These may include losing your keys, loaning them to someone who never returned them, or having children who frequently misplace keys or let friends borrow them. Divorces and relationship disputes—whether it be with a spouse, former roommate, or someone else you're no longer on the best of terms with—are also reason enough to request assistance from a residential or commercial locksmith as soon as possible.
