If you have to break up with someone who has been living with you and kick them out of your house, you want to make sure that they can't come back. You can take their house keys and make sure that they can't get in that way, but there is no guarantee that they didn't make copies which could let them still get into your house. The best way to handle it is to call an emergency locksmith. They can come to your house and help make your home more secure. How can a locksmith help you out?

Change Your Locks

The first thing that the locksmith can do for you is change your locks. The locksmith can remove your old locks, including the door knobs, and put in new ones. Those new locks will have brand new keys that your ex won't have ever had any possession of. Another thing that the locksmith can do is make sure that all the new locks are keyed to the same key. That means you only need one key to open everything up. If you are worried about how strong the locks are, the locksmith can recommend some very secure and strong locks to install at your house. 

Security Systems

Locksmiths can also install security systems that make it harder for anyone to get into your house and will let you know if anyone does try to get into your home. While the emergency locksmith may not be able to install a full security system right at that moment, they can probably get some basics up for you, like a camera and door sensors, especially if you tell them you want a security system installed before they come out. The locksmith can also recommend some better security systems for you and set up an appointment with you to come back later and do a full install. If they can get the basics in while they are there the first time, then you can feel more secure after they leave and until you can get a better security system installed. 

When you break up with someone, it can be difficult. If you have to kick them out of your house, things can get even more difficult. An emergency locksmith may not be able to fix a broken heart, but they can help you make sure that your former partner can't get into your house by coming and changing your locks.
