Top 3 Security Tips for New Homeowners

Owning a new home in the Indianapolis area can be a dream come true. However, those dreams can quickly be shattered when your home security is invaded. And the sad part is that no neighborhood is 100-percent safe. However, when you purchase a new home, you can do a few things to protect your home, your family, and your valuables, with a little help from our locksmiths here at Unlock Indy LLC.

1. Rekey your home locks.

To make sure all your exterior doors are on the same key—and a key that only you have, we recommend that you rekey every exterior door in your home. You can do it yourself or hire a professional, like Unlock Indy. We’ll make sure they all match aesthetically and allow you access without carrying around a bunch of keys.

2. Install deadbolts.

If your exterior doors do not already have deadbolts, then consider having them installed. Deadbolts offer another level of security that traditional door handle lock and keys don’t achieve on their own.

3. Purchase a small safe.

To protect small valuables or important documents, a small safe comes in handy. If you already have a safe but it has a broken lock, then our locksmiths can repair it or rekey it so that it’s functioning the way you need it.

These security measures are just a few ways that Unlock Indy can help you feel safe in your new Indianapolis home. In addition, we offer a few more home and auto locksmith services both on a scheduled and emergency basis. Unlock Indy serves the greater Indianapolis area, including Carmel and Fishers.
