Security Gaps in Your New Home
When you move in, you inherit the previous owner's security decisions. Here are the most common gaps we find — and how we fix them.
You don't know who has keys
You just moved in and the previous owner handed you one set of keys. But how many copies exist? The seller, their family, a neighbor, a real estate agent, a contractor who did renovations, a housekeeper, a dog walker — any of them could still have a key. You have no way to know.
Old or low-quality locks
The locks on your new home may be 10, 15, or 20 years old. They may be cheap builder-grade locks with standard keyways that are easy to pick or bump. If the previous owner never upgraded the locks, you're living with the security decisions made by someone else — possibly decades ago.
No deadbolts on exterior doors
Many homes — especially older ones — have only a knob lock on exterior doors, with no deadbolt. A knob lock uses a spring latch that can be bypassed with a credit card in seconds. Without a deadbolt, your front door is not secure.
Weak strike plates and door frames
Even with a good deadbolt, if the strike plate (the metal plate in the frame where the bolt enters) is attached with short 3/4-inch screws, a single kick can split the frame and open the door. Most builder-grade homes come with weak strike plates.
Garage and side doors overlooked
People secure their front door but forget the garage entry door, the side door, or the back patio door. Burglars know this — they target the door most homeowners ignore. Every exterior door needs the same level of security.
Contractors and service people had access
If the previous owner had renovations done, contractors may have had keys. If the home was staged, real estate agents may have distributed keys. Before you moved in, multiple people may have had access to your home — and you have no way to know who.
Signs You Need This Service
If any of these sound familiar, it's time to call a professional.
- You just moved into a new home and don't know who has keys
- The locks are old, cheap, or feel flimsy when you use them
- Your exterior doors don't have deadbolts
- The strike plates have short screws and feel loose
- You have different keys for every door and want them unified
- The garage, side, or back doors have no deadbolt or weak locks
What Happens If You Ignore It
Moving into a home without securing the locks is like moving in with the front door wide open. Don't wait — secure your home on day one.
Strangers may have access to your home
When you move in, you have no idea how many copies of your keys exist. Previous owners, neighbors, real estate agents, contractors — any of them could still have a key. Every day you don't rekey or change your locks is a day your home is accessible to people you don't know.
Old locks are easy to pick and bump
Standard locks from 10+ years ago lack security pins and are vulnerable to bump keys — a technique that opens a lock in seconds. If the previous owner never upgraded, you're living with their security decisions — and they may not have been good ones.
A door without a deadbolt is not secure
A knob lock uses a spring latch that can be bypassed with a credit card in seconds. If your exterior doors don't have deadbolts, they're not protecting you. This is the most common security gap in older homes — and the easiest one for a burglar to exploit.
Weak strike plates invite kick-ins
The most common break-in method is kicking the door near the lock. Standard strike plates with short screws offer almost no resistance. Without reinforcement, a single kick can split the frame and open the door — even with a good deadbolt.
How We Solve It
Our technicians use professional tools and techniques to resolve the problem quickly and correctly.
Rekey All Locks
The fastest, most affordable way to secure your new home. We rekey every lock so old keys no longer work and give you new keys. If your locks are in good condition, this is all you need — done in a single visit.
Lock Replacement
If your locks are old, cheap, or damaged, we replace them with quality hardware from trusted brands. You get new locks, new keys, and upgraded security — all in one visit.
Deadbolt Installation
If your exterior doors only have knob locks, we add deadbolts. A deadbolt is the single most effective upgrade you can make — it turns a door that can be opened with a credit card into one that resists forced entry.
Strike Plate Reinforcement
We replace standard strike plates with reinforced, 3-inch screw strike plates that anchor deep into the wall stud. This is the most overlooked security upgrade — and the one that prevents kick-ins.
Smart Lock Installation
Going keyless in your new home? We install and program smart locks from August, Yale, Schlage, and more. Enter with a code, your phone, or your fingerprint — and give temporary codes to guests, housekeepers, or dog walkers instead of keys.
Full Security Assessment
We walk every exterior door with you, assess the locks, deadbolts, strike plates, and door frames, and give you a prioritized list of recommendations. You decide what to upgrade — no pressure, no upselling.
