Texan Lock & Key has a list of reasons why you would want to have the locks replaced on your home.
Lost House Keys:
This is the first reason that you may need to go and change your locks on your home. You may have been out on a hike or just at the store and you realized that your key has fallen out of your pocket or purse and it is nowhere to be seen. You cannot be sure who could have access to the locks and in turn your home. If you lose a key you will need to have the locks replaced.
Moved Into A New Home & You Don’t Know who has Keys:
If you move into a new house or apartment you can’t be sure who has or had access to the house before you moved in. You do not want to live there wondering if just anyone could come waltzing into your home. The best thing to do is as soon as you move in is to have the locks changed so that you know you are the only person with the key.
Replace Broken Locks After a Break In:
If you have come home to find that your house has been broken into you need to get the locks changed. The lock many times will have been broken when the thief or home invader got into the house and if they did get in, you may not have had a sturdy enough lock to begin with. This is a great time to replace the locks and add another layer of protection.
Locks are Old and Sticking:
This is a better reason to have your locks changed as opposed to having a break in. If you start to notice that the locks are sticking and won’t open easily this may be a reason that you need to change out the locks.
