Avoid auto lockout

Some drivers keep their second transponder key in the car but what good can it do when you would need an emergency car lockout? Locksmith Torrance also suggests avoiding leaving your car parked outside with the ignition car key on the driver's seat. Keep the key with you at all times and avoid leaving it at parts of the house, where they can be found by kids or pets.

Make sure safes are hidden

If you decide to install safes in order to hide jewelry, documents or money, make sure they are installed in places which cannot be found easily by intruders. When you proceed with safe installation, make also sure that it's secured on the floor or wall.

Customizing your keys

Your keys don’t always have to look traditional or typical. Our locksmith company that can help you customize keys—making them into some form that is easier to carry and use. For instance, you can have your key made compact and attractive that it can be used as a pendant. Conversely, if you have keys that usually get misplaced, customizing them to look bigger and more conspicuous is also an option.

Alarmed locks

It is now a common and popular option to add alarms to keys and locks. In that respect our team would argue for upgrades at the earliest opportunity. The key elements of the security protocol are that the property manager or owner must be alerted before intruders arrive.

Don't ever give away your keys

Even if you trust your good friends, avoid giving them your keys unless it's absolutely necessary. In this case, lock rekey is highly recommended in order to avoid surprises. You never know who might have access to the pockets of your friend or if you will have a fight with him tomorrow.
