Why should I buy from you and not from a big distributor?
You are free to buy your security in a box, and try to install it by yourself, but a professional will provide you with many things a big distributor can’t give you:
The assurance that your security system, high security lock or even your desk lock will be installed according to the highest standards in the industry.
The full extend of the manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty might be void if a certified distributor or professional hasn’t installed the product.
The guarantee that your insurance company acknowledges the installation of a security product, without an installation receipt stamped and/or signed by a certified security business, your insurance company may simply ignore your claim.
Should I notify my insurance company when I purchase a security product?
You should always consult your insurance company prior to the purchase of any security related product, Insurance companies often have lists of recommended security devices, and sometimes may even require specific security and locksmith equipments to insure you.
Why do I need a fancy “high security lock” on my door? I’ve been living for 15 years with a simple deadbolt lock and nobody ever robbed me.
Good for you, you might well be the exception that confirms the rule.
A high security lock is not indestructible, but will significantly slow the “work” of would be robbers.
My roommate just moved out, should I change the lock of my apartment?
Definitely, even if you separated on good terms, you don’t necessarily know who may have had access to the keys of your apartment, and you definitely don’t want to have someone sneaking in your living room at night.
It is very cheap to re-key an existing lock
You can already adopt a master key system or a key control feature for your new lock, for the absolute peace of mind.
