Q: Can someone hack a smart lock?

• <div><p>As with any computer, smart locks can be hacked by someone with the technical skills to do so, but most people do not have that ability, making smart locks relatively safe. If you have any concerns about a compromised smart lock, opt for an encrypted smart lock, change your Wi-Fi password, and make sure that you only give out your password to trusted family and friends. </p></div>

Q: How do you maintain a door lock?

• <div><p>Proper <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-keys-proper-door-lock-maintenance.htm">door lock maintenance</a> includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.</p></div>

Q: Can I change the locks myself?

• <div><p>The good news is that, yes, you can change locks yourself. Many people find it&rsquo;s an easy DIY project that requires few tools and not much expense (depending on which lock you&rsquo;re installing). If you have trouble with any part of an installation, you can always call a locksmith to help finish installing them.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to change your locks when you move to a new home?

• <div><p>Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.</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>

Excellent service and quality install. Even down to installing the hardware on the cabinet, most companies over drill out the handles and butcher the inside of the drawer or door, but not this company. They definitely take pride and what they do and also provide great communication.
