Should I Replace My Door Locks After A Break-In?

Have you recently had a break-in at your home or work? It is advised that you change your locks after a break-in. Sevan Locks and Doors is a professional lock company that can help you when this happens.

What To Do After A Break-In

When your home has been broken into, it makes you feel uneasy. Your personal space has just been violated and ransacked. The first thing that you should do after experiencing a break-in is to change the locks. Here are a few of the reasons why you should this:

Your Locks May Have Been Damaged

It is very common for your locks to be broken when someone attempts to break-in. When thieves attempt to pick the locks, pieces get bent and damaged. This can prevent the locks from properly locking anymore, not allowing you to lock your doors.

If your locks have been damaged, you are going to need to replace them. This can be a good thing to do whether they are broken or not. That way you can know that everything is secure. 

Gives You Peace Of Mind

It’s a scary situation to discover you have had a break-in. Whether it is in your business or your home. It is an experience that no one wants to go through. It is an experience that can be very traumatizing depending on how it all played out. 

Sevan Locks and Doors always advises that you change your locks after you have had a break-in. That way you will have peace of mind along with secure locks. You wouldn’t want to leave tampered with locks on your doors. This will make it easy for someone to trespass again.

Your Keys May Have Been Duplicated

When someone breaks into your home, it isn’t always done with forced entry. Someone along the way could have made a duplicate of your keys. There is also the chance they found keys in your home when they broke-in and took them with them. 

That is why changing the locks on your doors is recommended, even when everything still looks to be intact. This way, if a copy was made, they can’t re-enter your home. You are also going to feel more comfortable in your home knowing someone isn’t walking around with your house keys.

Other Forms Of Security

Many people have security measures installed in their homes and businesses these days. The locks on your doors are a small form of security. After you have experienced a break-in, you may want to consider other forms to install for safety. 

This will give you the ability to be alerted when there is movement in different areas. Police can be notified as well as you. That way if you are home alone or away from the office you can worry less. Some of the many different types that you can use are:

  • Security Cameras
  • Access Control Systems
  • CCTV
  • Integration Systems
  • And More

Most of these systems can be monitored from a variety of smart devices. That means that you do not have to be sitting at your computer for access to them. You can be anywhere using your tablet or cell phone.
