Locks, Keys and Safes on the Road: Securing Your RV

There are a myriad of reasons why homeowners may need to change their current locks. The most common reason is if you have been a victim of a burglary and would like to enhance the security of your premises. However, you may also want to change the locks in the event that someone you do not trust has a copy of your keys, or maybe you lost all your keys and would require the locks changed to gain access into your home. No matter your reason, rekeying may be a better alternative than changing the locks in their entirety. Here are some of the different benefits of rekeying your locks.

Rekeying is an economical alternative

Changing your locks can be quite expensive. This is especially true if you are changing all the locks in the residence instead of just the entryways. If you are doing this while moving house, you will find that your relocation becomes more expensive, and this could prove to be an inconvenience for people who are strapped for money. If you would like to ensure that your home is secure but your budget cannot cater to changing all your locks, you should opt for rekeying. All you would need to do is enlist the services of a locksmith who will come and determine what types of locks you have. Once this is done they will be able to establish how best to rekey the locks at a cost-effective price. Thus, they give you the same security benefits you would have by changing your locks without you having to spend exorbitant amounts of money.

Rekeying solidifies burglary insurance claims that may crop up

Homeowners will typically have home insurance to ensure they are protected in the event of a burglary or any other unfortunate incidence. However, you should note that the insurance providers could reject your claim if they can prove negligence on your part. A form of negligence would be overlooking the number of people who would have access to your home via copies of your keys, especially if you have moved into a new residence and did not bother changing the locks. To avoid the risk of having your insurance claims rejected, it is easier to have your locks rekeyed. This not only enhances the safety of you and your loved ones, but you can also prove to your insurance provider that you were not negligent about the security of your home.
