Keeping your home safe isn’t just about locking the front door — it’s about creating strong layers of security that deter break-ins and give you peace of mind. At Lock Champions Locksmith, we’ve helped homeowners across Minnesota secure their homes with reliable locksmith services and smart advice.
Here are our top tips for protecting your home — whether you live in the suburbs, the city, or a quiet neighborhood nearby.
- Upgrade Your Locks
If your home still has basic doorknob locks or old deadbolts, it’s time for an upgrade. We recommend high-security deadbolts, smart locks, or bump-proof lock technology. These options offer much more protection than standard locks.
We’ve upgraded locks for homeowners in Blaine, Fridley, Coon Rapids, Anoka, and Spring Lake Park — and these upgrades make a big difference.
- Reinforce Doors and Frames
A strong deadbolt is only as good as the door frame it’s installed in. We often see break-ins in cities like Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, Champlin, Shoreview, and Mounds View due to weak door frames. Reinforce your strike plates with 3-inch screws, and consider a door security bar for added strength.
- Secure Sliding Doors and Windows
Burglars often use sliding doors or first-floor windows to gain entry. Homeowners in New Brighton, Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, North Oaks, and Columbia Heights should install window locks, sliding door bars, and motion lights near vulnerable spots.
- Re-key When You Move In
If you just bought a house in Roseville, Little Canada, Arden Hills, Maplewood, or Oakdale, re-key your locks immediately. You never know who has a spare key from the previous owner. Re-keying is affordable and easy — and we handle it quickly.
- Add Smart Security
We’re seeing more families in Woodbury, Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville, and Lakeville switch to smart locks and video doorbells. These allow you to monitor your home remotely, lock doors from your phone, and receive alerts about suspicious activity.
- Keep Entryways Visible
Burglars don’t like being seen. Install motion-activated lights, trim back bushes, and keep your entry points clear. This is especially helpful in homes in Savage, Inver Grove Heights, Richfield, Golden Valley, and Hopkins.
