When Should You Renew Your Home Locks?

As we mentioned before, your lock has a specific lifespan and needs to be replaced eventually. However, we don’t want our clients to replace perfectly functional locks that still have a few years on them. Here are some signs that would help you decide if it’s time to renew your locks.

  • The Key Doesn’t Turn Smoothly – This is the first sign that the lock isn’t functioning as well as it’s supposed to. If the lock doesn’t turn smoothly, it’s a sign that the internal components are worn down. You need to renew the locks or risk being locked out unexpectedly.
  • You Need to Pull the Door to Lock – If you need to pull the door towards you to lock it properly, it’s a sign that there’s something wrong with the door. It’s possible that the door or the frame is warped and that can place a burden on the lock. A professional locksmith will help address the problem before the lock is completely damaged and the door gets stuck.
  • Rust on the Lock – Rust and corrosion can be corrected without replacing the lock if the problem is caught early. However, if the rust spreads into the internal mechanism, you need to renew your home locks. A professional locksmith will quickly correct the problem or renew your locks before the door is jammed and you’re locked out.

These are the classic signs that your lock needs to be changed. There are two different ways you can go about this. You can replace the entire lock, which can be a little expensive and time consuming. You can also rekey the locks. That would help you save some money. Our expert locksmiths can rekey as well as replace your locks easily. They’re trained, certified, and experienced.

You can trust the quality of their work and know that all locks they install will last for a long time and function smoothly.
