Make Changing Your Locks Step Number One
Have you just purchased a new home? Did you change the locks?
Probably not, right? You just got handed the keys and the code for the garage door from the previous owners. They seem like nice people and they probably are, too.
What you don’t know, though, is to whom else they gave a copy of the key.
The baby sitter? The dog walker? Aunt Jenny?
The point is that as the owner of a new home, you have no way to know just who has a key to your abode. Your home is probably safe while you’re at work, but then again, you never know.
When buying a new property, make changing the locks and the garage door code your first step as a rightful homeowner.
