Every year when the temperatures begin to rise, so does the crime rate. For some reason criminals become more active when the weather is nice out. Perhaps its easier to be dishonest when you are not freezing, but homeowners tend to open windows and let the spring breeze blow through the house, giving criminals a prime opportunity to waltz right into your home and take your valuables. The best way to avoid this from happening is tightly securing your home with the latest locks installed by the professional locksmiths at Texan Lock and Key.
Many Burglars Use Bump Keys to Get into Your Home
A bump key is a special key that has been filed down to allow it to penetrate most of the pins in any particular lock if it is hit or “bumped” into place. These keys have to be specially made and will not work on highly secure locks that are installed by the professional locksmiths at Texan Lock and Key. If your home has old or outdated locks that have never been changed, contact Texan Lock and Key today to replace your old and potentially risky locks with new, highly secured locks provided by Texan Lock and Key. Do not become a victim of the bump key due to old or outdated locks on your doors.
How to Tell if Someone is Trying to Break into Your House
Many criminals use forced entry to gain access into your home and most of these criminals that go this route are extremely desperate because forced entry is very loud and will attract a great deal of attention to anyone who is in the vicinity. Your home may have been the victim of an attempted forced entry without you even knowing about it. You could have been at work, on vacation or running an errand while some criminal was attempting to break through your front door. Some of these signs include bent locks, splintered door frame, warped door frame, or a great deal of debris at your door step that was not there before. Inspect and keep your eye out for any of these signs.
