1.   Rekey the Locks

Landlords rent and lease apartments, rooms, and houses to different tenants all the time; therefore, it's always wise to have a professional locksmith rekey locks just to make sure that only the people living on the premises at that time have the keys to their respective rooms.


You may need rekeying services for your rooms when:

• A tenant misplaces a key
• Current keys aren't working properly
• You recently acquired a new property
• There was an attempted burglary
• A tenant was evicted

2.   Replace Deadbolt and Knob

In some cases, replacing the deadbolt is needed more than just rekeying the lock. Some common reasons for this include: 



• Lost keys
• Wear and tear from overuse
• Damage from burglary
• Need for increased security

3.   Utilize Smart Locks

Suppose you've installed smart locks or have other advanced locking features installed. Smart keys are a better option for commercial buildings and come with several perks. They are:



• More secure
• Offer great convenience
• Allow for "one-off" access

Repairing or installing smart locks will help make your rentals more secure and desirable for tenants. 

4.   Install Electronic Locks

Similar to smart locks, a locksmith can install keyless electronic locks to enhance the security of your rentals. Changing your apartment locks from conventional locks to electronic locks with the latest technologies also offers remarkable convenience and utility.

Some benefits when using electronic locks include:



• Enhanced security
• Improved durability
• Keyless entry and exit
• Time-determined locking and unlocking schedules
• Enhanced safety for children
