What to Know Before Replacing a Deadbolt Lock

The security of lives and property is one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing a residential building and business location. Therefore your family, treasure, assets and important documents have to be secured to give you rest of mind and installing a deadbolt lock is the right step in the right direction.

However, if the deadbolt lock is old or does not function efficiently, it should definitely be repaired or replaced and if you have taken such a decision, why not call a professional from GreenPro Locksmith in Atlanta.

Replacement and installation of deadbolt locks should be done from an informed position; so it is paramount that the homeowners have a pre-knowledge of what to consider before calling professionals for repairs, installation or replacement.

Why and when a deadbolt lock should be changed?

Compromised security

If your business location or home has been attacked by burglars or you're no longer comfortable with the people who had access to your home (you changed roommate or you're recently divorced) it is better to change the entire locks.

Malfunctioning deadbolt

Sometimes, deadbolts may start malfunctioning because it is not adequately lubricated and in such cases, the homeowner should do the needful and not change the locks. But, if it is broken, old or worn-out, then you should call a professional for replacement.

Security upgrade and home improvement

Can you remember the last time your door locks were changed? Or do you newly acquire or rented the building for residential or business purposes?

If any of the questions above applies to you, then you should consider making your building more secure.
