Q: Should you replace your locks or rekey them?

• <div><p>The cost to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-replace-or-rekey-locks.htm">rekey locks on your home</a> is <b>$40 to $100</b> plus <b>$15 to $40 per lock</b>. Rekeying means you can keep your existing locks but simply change the key. You&rsquo;ll still need a pro to cut a new key and rekey the lock, but no new hardware is required. Rekeying is a good option if:</p><ul><li><p>You need a quick way to upgrade your current locks</p></li><li><p>You have a quality lock that works well</p></li><li><p>You recently moved in and want to ensure you&rsquo;re the only one with access</p></li><li><p>You lost a key</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you install a deadbolt yourself?

• <div><p>Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.</p></div>

Q: Which locks are most difficult to pick?

• <div><p>Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as &quot;pick-proof&quot; are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this&mdash;they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do burglars snap locks?

• <div><p>Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.</p></div>

Q: What tool is used to remove door knobs?

• <div><p>Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don&rsquo;t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.</p></div>
