Locksmith Services & Tips for the Holidays

BarzzLocks back to remind you to stay safe during these busy holidays! The holidays are a time to spread warmth and joy, that also means many residents will have stocked their homes up with gifts and valuables for their loved ones, which unfortunately can leave you at risk to potential burglars and robberies. Robberies can happen in the most unfortunate situations even with those you trust- so make sure to lock up your valuables and keep them secure!

Do not post your holiday vacations on social media, as it could leave you in a vulnerable situation while you are away from home! Cutting spare keys for your most loved and trusted family members while you are away from home to check on your property or feed your pets, will help keep an eye on your property, as well as making sure your pets are fed and cared for. Also-  BarzzLocks reminds you to not leave a key at your residence somewhere on your property that a family member can access. If they can access it, burglars can too. Which will then leave you in another unlucky position such as- reinforcement of security measures including; new locks; rekeys; potential upgrades on security devices and most importantly the replacement of your lost and stolen possessions.

An old trick to keep burglars away is to keep one light on in the house somewhere that is most visible to people passing, to create an illusion that you are still home. Also, keeping curtains or blinds closed to protect from people peeking in to look at your valuables; keep all windows locked EVEN on the second or third floors. Humans DO possess the climbing skills.

Installing higher security locks will also help protect against unwanted visitors as well as decrease lockouts. Lockouts are always a pain in the butt and can be costly with the wrong locksmith, but don’t panic, the worst thing that can be done in a lockout situation is… panic. High-security locks can be installed with ease and can be both locked and unlocked through a push code or smart device! This eliminates the panics lockouts can cause because it will reduce the need to carry a key and lessen the fear of losing your keys. BarzzLocks still reminds you to keep your keys in a safe place if you choose not to carry them on you outside because losing them still leaves a small risk of becoming locked out of your residence temporarily, since most of these locks can only be re-keyed/coded a limited amounted of times.
