Homeowners should re-key their locks for a variety of reasons. Some common examples include:
• Lost, stolen or unreturned keys
• A recent move
• Remodeling, upgrading or updating
• Tenant turnover
• Or, to increase home security on a regular basis

Kwikset locks also protect against lock bumping, a common technique used by home intruders.
• • The term "bumping" comes from the fact that a specially cut key is inserted into a keyhole and then tapped or "bumped" by a screwdriver or other object, allowing the intruder access to the home.
• BumpGuard is a patented side locking bar that protects against lock bumping.

Try linking motion sensors to your outdoor lighting system. The sensors will startle intruders by instantly exposing them to light.

It's About Time
