Question 1

I just had a baby and we moved to Windsor Terrace — what is the safest way to secure our home?

Accepted Answer

For new families in Windsor Terrace, we recommend: Grade 1 deadbolt on all exterior doors, door reinforcement kit (prevents kick-in), a door viewer (peephole) if you do not have one, and window lock pins on ground-floor windows. For the nursery door, a door knob cover makes more sense than a lock. We do family home security assessments with practical, non-alarmist recommendations.

Question 2

My Windsor Terrace apartment is near Prospect Park — is there a security issue with ground-floor units?

Accepted Answer

Ground-floor units near park perimeters have two considerations: visibility (passers-by can see when you are away) and accessible windows. Beyond a Grade 1 deadbolt, we recommend window stops on ground-floor double-hungs and a secondary door lock (chain or swing bar) on the inside of the front door for nighttime use. A door camera or video doorbell adds another layer without complex installation.

Question 3

Can a locksmith in Windsor Terrace also install window locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install sash locks, window pins, and keyed window locks on single and double-hung windows. For casement windows, we install locking hardware compatible with the existing hardware. Ground-floor window security is a common add-on to lock change service calls in Windsor Terrace.

Question 4

My Windsor Terrace lease is ending and I installed a smart lock — how do I restore the original lock?

Accepted Answer

Save the original lock hardware when you remove it — store it in a closet. When moving out, reinstall the original lock. We can help with this swap-back in a 30-minute visit. If you no longer have the original, we install an equivalent-grade new lock. Most landlords accept this, and we provide a receipt showing what was installed.

Question 5

How long does it take to rekey all locks in a Windsor Terrace apartment?

Accepted Answer

For a typical Windsor Terrace apartment with a front door deadbolt and a door knob lock, rekeying takes 30–45 minutes total. If there is also a mailbox key or building entrance key to match, add 10–15 minutes. We cut all your new keys on the spot using our key machine in the van.
