How secure are smart locks compared to traditional deadbolts?

Smart locks can be just as secure as traditional deadbolts, provided they’re high-quality and correctly installed. They offer features like encrypted access and remote control, but can be vulnerable to software issues or hacking if not updated. Traditional locks don’t face digital risks, but can be physically bypassed if they're low-grade. Security depends more on the product’s build and installation than on whether it's mechanical or electronic.

What should I do if my car key won’t turn in the ignition?

First, check if the steering wheel is locked by gently turning it while trying the key may help. If the key still won’t turn, inspect it for wear or bending. Don’t force it, as this could break the key or damage the ignition. Dirt or wear inside the ignition cylinder may also be the issue. If nothing works, it’s best to get it looked at before it fails completely.

How do I know when a lock needs replacing?

If a lock is hard to turn, rusted, loose, or no longer feels secure, it’s probably due for replacement. You should also consider replacing locks after losing keys, experiencing a break-in, or moving into a new property. Even if the lock still works, older or low-grade models might not offer enough protection. Reliable locks should operate smoothly and feel solid; if they don’t, it’s worth upgrading.
