Introduction
Whether you’re a homeowner in Minneapolis, a small business in St. Paul, or a property manager in Maple Grove, security is critical. At Lock Champions, we proudly serve the entire Twin Cities metro area, helping residents and businesses stay secure with expert locksmith services. Below are 10 essential tips to protect your property and gain peace of mind—direct from Minnesota’s most trusted local locksmith.
- Rekey When You Move
Moved into a new home in Woodbury, Eagan, or Brooklyn Park? Rekey the locks ASAP. Previous owners, tenants, or contractors might still have spare keys.
- Upgrade to High-Security Locks
Standard deadbolts won’t cut it anymore. We recommend bump-proof and pick-resistant locks like Schlage Primus or Mul-T-Lock, perfect for homes in Eden Prairie, Blaine, and Roseville.
- Smart Locks Done Right
Smart locks can boost convenience and control, but cheap models can compromise your security. We install trusted brands throughout Bloomington, Burnsville, and Inver Grove Heights.
- Master Key Systems for Businesses
If you run a business in Richfield, Minnetonka, or Coon Rapids, a master key system can simplify employee access while maintaining control over security.
- Secure Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are easy targets. Reinforce them with secondary locks or security bars—especially for homes in Apple Valley, Chaska, and Shakopee.
- Avoid Obvious Key Hiding Spots
Burglars know to check under mats, fake rocks, and planters. Use a coded lockbox instead, or leave a spare key with someone you trust in Savage, Champlin, or Golden Valley.
- Annual Lock Maintenance is a Must
Minnesota winters can be rough on your locks. We recommend a yearly checkup and lubrication—especially in high-traffic areas like St. Louis Park or Fridley.
- Ditch Key Tags with Labels
Labeling keys with names like “Garage” or “Front Door” is risky. If lost, they make a thief’s job easier in places like Plymouth or Brooklyn Center.
- Hire Local, Not a Call Center
Avoid nationwide scams. We’re a local, verified Twin Cities locksmith with real credentials and hundreds of satisfied customers in every suburb from Lakeville to White Bear Lake.
- Get a Free Security Audit
We offer free walk-throughs for homes and businesses across the metro—from Cottage Grove to Maplewood—to evaluate locks, doors, and entry points.
