SHOULD I REKEY MY BUSINESS?
3 Questions to Answer
Being a business owner means keeping a lot of different ducks in a row, and one very important duck that you may find difficult to keep in line is office security. While questions about how often you should rekey your office space, or about specific situations that might compel you to do so, will be decided on a case-by-case basis, a few key factors can help you decide when you should have a locksmith rekey your office. IS THERE AN IMMEDIATE SECURITY THREAT? Of course, if you believe your workplace may be in danger of theft or vandalism, it might be time to rekey your office and update your security measures. Examples of immediate security threats include: • Someone having access to keys for which they shouldn’t have access • An employee has left the company disgruntled and still has access to the workplace • Forced entry or burglary has already happened at your workplace IS THERE A HIGH DEGREE OF TURNOVER AT YOUR WORKPLACE? In the absence of immediate security threats, you could base the rate at which you rekey your locks on the average turnover rate at your workplace. If your turnover rate is higher, and employees are given
access to the office as they come and go, you might want to consider rekeying your locks more often than not. If your rate of turnover is lower, the opposite might be true. DO YOUR OFFICE ASSETS REQUIRE THE LATEST IN OFFICE SECURITY TECHNOLOGY? Depending on the kind of assets you want to protect at your office, you might just want to keep tabs on the latest offerings for office security. While your motto with regard to office security might be, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” a better one might be, “Better safe than sorry,” if you have expensive equipment or sensitive information stored at your office. Better to spring for the extra security upfront than grapple with your losses later on down the road.

TAKE A BREAK
THE BEST RIDE-ALONG COMPANION ANYONE COULD ASK FOR
The Pups of Pop-A-Lock
I got Onyx after my previous dog, who had ridden with me all over town for 10 years, passed away. She’s a Chihuahua, chow, poodle, and German shepherd mix that my wife got me from the Humane Society. She looked just like my old dog, and while she took some getting used to, I can definitely say she’s the smartest, healthiest, most protective dog I’ve ever owned. In her downtime, she loves to play catch with a Frisbee and torment my Yorkie. She’ll eat pretty much anything, but her favorite treat is the hot dog that she always gets when we go through the Skyline drive-thru. She perks up every time we’re headed that way. She’s admittedly not the friendliest dog, but I can leave my car completely unlocked and walk away knowing that
no one will try to break into it if Onyx is there. And, if only for that reason, I’m glad to have her around.
