Why Should Your Apartment Have a High-Security Lock and Key System?
Using a key to gain access to your home is likely something that you take for granted on a daily basis. You may feel safe and secure but, if you live in an apartment and you don’t have a high-security lock and key system, there’s a chance that someone, somewhere MIGHT still have a key that fits your lock. Traditional keys are easy to duplicate, even without permission, so unless your locks were changed when you moved in you may not be near as safe as you think you are. High-security lock systems are ideal for apartments for several reasons. For starters, they’re significantly harder to pick than standard locks. Standard locks feature a finite combination of pre-set pins, making access easy even with a sloppily duplicated key. High-security locks and keys, however, are made specifically to fit one another. Only locksmiths authorized by the lock maker are given key blanks, codes and equipment. In addition, High-security locks come to the locksmith without pins. The lock pins are set and corresponding keys are made utilizing proprietary codes ONLY AFTER the lock is purchased for installation. To make a long story short, these aren’t cookie-cutter products. Each system is unique and secure.
What Other Benefits Do High-Security Lock and Key Systems Offer?
One of the most important benefits of a high-security lock and key system is complete control over who has a key. These aren’t keys that you could simply take to your local hardware store for duplication. High-security keys are made with specialized blanks only provided to the authorized locksmith. In addition, they may only be duplicated with your permission and using the code that’s unique to your system. If you live in an apartment, it’s not likely to be economical to install an electronic access control system. A high-security lock and key system represents the best in access control at a more reasonable price and won’t be disrupted by power outages.
