Why changing your locks on time is so Important?

When we think of locks what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Security. In an ideal world, all humans would live peacefully among each other and there will be no such thing as sense of security but unfortunately, we live in a messed up world bubbling with crime and violence. In year 2019, property crimes (burglary, theft, trespassing) in Roseville increased by 7%. Violent crimes also increased by a whopping 47%. These shocking stats clearly show the importance of an Emergency locksmith in Roseville.

My aunt (32) lives in Roseville and last year she came over to spend Christmas with us. It was a great family weekend that we all spent, when she left back for Roseville we had no idea about the tragedy that was about to strike us. When she reached her apartment, she sensed something was off as there were shoeprints with red mud on her front door matt. She didn’t think anything of it until she entered the apartment.

She broke up with her abusive bf a couple of months ago; they both shared the apartment and had keys to it. When her bf moved out, technically she should’ve changed the locks or forced him to leave his key behind but she didn’t. It was partly because of how difficult and expensive it is to change locks in CA if you don’t have contact information of a reliable emergency locksmith in Roseville.

My aunt didn’t pay attention to this issue and it almost cost her, her life. Her ex broke into the apartment while she was staying with us and when she went back, attacked her. He beat her to the point where she was left unconscious with two broken ribs, a broken nose.

The PTSD and TRAUMA:

Her neighbors heard her cries and called 911, if the police were a couple of minutes late my aunt could’ve died. She had to spend a month in hospital only because she didn’t had an emergency locksmith on hand to call and get the locks changed. Physical injury and pain is there but the trauma of being attacked in your own house can wreck of your mental health. Your house should be your sanctuary, a safe haven where you feel secure. My aunt had PTSD from this incident and she still has to go to therapy every week.

The point of sharing this gruesome incident is that how important it is to keep a locksmith in your contacts. While getting insurance for your apartment make sure emergency locksmith services are covered within the insurance. If you ever feel the need to change the locks, do it in the first instant, don’t delay it, nothing can be more precious than your life.
