Houston Locksmith Now Offering Free Security Audits

Not every house in the Houston area has high security locks installed. Homes and commercial businesses without high security locks are at risk of being broken into. In recent months there has been a spike in break-in’s where the burglars used bump keys to gain entry.

This rise in break-in’s has police concerned because of the high possibility that there could be an assault if the their is caught inside of the home. Most break-in’s where the criminal has been caught inside the home ends tragically.

This low tech bump key technology makes it easy for criminals to enter a home. The bump key carries low peaks and wider valleys, and a ‘bump’ action allows it to move the lock’s internal pins and open it ajar. Such keys are thus specially used for pin tumbler locks that carry springs to keep the lock in a closed position. However, according to some experts, over 95% of normal locks can be violated with a bump key.

Because of the recent spike in break-in’s 713 Locksmith is now offering a free security audit to protect Houston residents. “We feel that as a professional locksmith service that we have an obligation to protect residents. That is our primary job. Because of this we are now offering free security audits to all of the residents in Houston who call us,” says Coleman Oneil manager of 713 Locksmith.
