Who has a spare key to your home?

who else has a house keyWith spring right around the corner moving into a new home is on the list for many people. More families move in the spring than any other season.

It took a while to find the perfect house, but now you’re finally moving in. But do you know who else may have a key to your dream home? The previous owners may have given a second key to the neighbors to water the plants while the owners were on vacation, the babysitter, repair people, other family members and relatives. When someone uses a duplicate key to enter your house, there would be no sign of a forced entry. Even worse, the intruder could come back for more any time.

The biggest danger to your home is home invasion. According to the latest available statistics from the FBI, there were 2,159,878 burglaries nationwide. Most homeowners fail to realize the danger they might be facing by neglecting to change or re-key the locks of their new home. A lock is only secure when every key is accounted for. Furthermore, Key-in-the knob locksets offer virtually NO security. If your home is equipped with these, they should be replaced with deadbolt locks.
