Four reasons to change your locks

Home lockout services Residential Prime Locksmith Las Vegas

Changing the locks on your property can either be a full hardware replace or it could just be rekeying the existing locks. Here are four reasons to change locks around your home.

You’ve bought a new home

Buying a new home is an exciting time. Although your house is new to you, it might not be to somebody else. You never really know if you have been handed every key to the property or if there is more floating about. It’s a good idea to update the locks on a newly owned property.

Your tenants have moved out of your property

Unless you have used a restricted master key system to secure your rental property there may be duplicates of keys that you are unaware of. It’s a good idea to update the locks between tenants. You may also want to consider updating the locks to using a restricted master key system.

Old or faulty locks

Replacing the locks is definitely required when the existing hardware is broken or faulty. Locks that don’t work as they are intended are as good as having no locks at all. It’s a good idea to check the locks on your property every 6 – 12 months to make sure they are functioning as expected. You can also perform some lock maintenance and clean them to help make sure they stay in good working order as long as possible.

You’ve been burgled or lost your keys

If you have been broken into your might have been left with broken or damaged locks. Another reason to change the locks post burglary is that keys may have been amongst stolen items. If you have lost your keys, the security of your home may also be at risk. Rather than replacing hardware, you might just want to rekey the property.

Some other reasons to change the locks around your property can include loaning the keys to somebody or going through a separation or divorce.

Vitali Was a great help. I had found his information on yelp after calling plenty of well-known companies that either didn’t call me back or didn’t give me the time of day. I really appreciate all of his help

Phenomenal guy, phenomenal service. Best prices in town and veteran discount! I must have called 5 or 6 different companies and Prime us half the others. Call this guy. Also, small business, shop local!

I had an exceptional experience with Prime Locksmith, and I'm delighted to leave a positive review. The locksmith was not only highly professional but also an excellent communicator. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring I understood how things worked. What truly stood out was his genuine approach in helping me save money. When my computer wouldn't connect to his scanners, he correctly diagnosed the issue by suggesting it might be something as simple as a blown fuse. This advice turned out to be spot-on, and I was able to resolve the problem quickly on my own. Furthermore, the locksmith went above and beyond by returning the same night to provide the service I needed. He understood the urgency of my situation as I relied on my car for work the next morning. His pricing was fair and transparent, and he patiently explained every step of the process. In a world where excellent customer service is sometimes hard to come by, this locksmith is a true stand-up guy. I genuinely appreciate his professionalism and dedication to ensuring his customers' satisfaction. I highly recommend Prime Locksmith for anyone in need of reliable and fairly priced locksmith services.

Great experience with this locksmith. He was upfront and honest about whether he could copy a broken key, the price, and his schedule. I had called over 30 locksmiths and Vitali stood out as the most trustworthy, communicative, and helpful. A previous locksmith actually failed to copy my key, wasting my time and money, and increasing my anxiety. My van is my home, so I’d been basically unable to leave home for 2 days. Anyone who calls a locksmith is in a position of desperation, and some locksmiths will exploit that. Vitali is not one of them. Highly recommended and appreciated

Vitali went above and beyond when I needed a locksmith, after THREE different local locksmiths couldn’t unlock my trunk, Vitali showed up early in the morning, opened the trunk within minutes, and even drove to my work later on to make a key copy for me. He’s a trustworthy, professional, honest, family’s man. The pricing was also unbeatable.
