Lock Problems Over the Holidays: How to Prepare featured illustration

Holidays mean travel, visitors and late nights, which is also when lock and key problems tend to appear. A little preparation goes a long way.

Before you travel

  • Check every exterior door and window lock
  • Make sure deadbolts fully extend into the frame
  • Leave a spare key with a trusted neighbor, not under the mat

Hosting guests

If guests need a key, cut a temporary copy and get it back, or use a keypad lock with a guest code you delete afterwards.

If something goes wrong

Our listed hours include holidays . Call 562-340-4631 to check availability. We do not add extra holiday charges .

After the holidays

If keys went missing during the festivities, consider rekeying so you know exactly who has access.
