Lost Your Keys? Here’s Why You Should Replace Locks Immediately

It happens to the best of us, you reach for your keys, and they’re nowhere to be found. Maybe they slipped out of your pocket, were left behind at work, or even stolen. But what many people don’t realise is that lost keys are a serious home security risk  especially if your address or vehicle was nearby when they went missing.

If you’ve lost your keys, don’t take chances. Replacing your locks immediately is the best way to protect your home, your family, and your peace of mind.

Why Lost Keys Put You at Risk

When keys go missing, there’s no way to be certain where they’ve ended up, or who might have them. A simple keyring can give away more information than you think, especially if it’s attached to a car fob, ID tag, or piece of mail.

Criminals only need one opportunity to take advantage of that lost key. That’s why you should always change your locks right away.

By replacing your locks, you:

• Eliminate the risk of unwanted access

• Ensure your home insurance remains valid

• Gain full control over who has keys to your property

• Restore peace of mind knowing your home is secure
