As native Lehigh Valley residents, we appreciate the strong social bonds and a tight-knit network of neighbors who look out for one another. Well-maintained public spaces and well-lit streets can deter criminal activity and make residents feel safer.

​

Despite these factors, it is still important for residents in our communities to be vigilant about lock security.

This could include ensuring that all doors and windows are properly secured and locked, installing deadbolts or other security measures on doors, and being mindful of whom they let into their homes. Stop to consider who else may have a key to your new home.

Relatives, neighbors, contractors, etc. may have been granted access at some point during the previous owners residency. Additionally, you might consider installing security systems or alarms or participating in neighborhood watch programs to help ensure the safety of their homes and property.

​

By being proactive about lock security, residents can help maintain the safety and security of their community, and ensure that they and their loved ones feel protected in their own homes.
