Lost Your Car Keys?

Sometimes a key code is available. You will have access to this code if you are the original buyer of the keys. This code is typically found on the original bill of sale which you may have or the car dealership may have. However, while rare, these codes are sometimes written on the cover of the owner’s manual. So check this as well. A key by code can save you money over having a key fitted to the car on-site.

The Dangers of Having Windows On Or Near Your Door

Take care in what type of lock you use for your front door. Having a simple thumb-turn dead bolt lock won’t do much good. Thieves will just knock out the glass, stick a hand in, and turn. Get a double cylinder lock that needs a key on the inside, that way even if they broke the window in your door, you’re still safe and they couldn’t get in.
