Why Keys By Themselves are Not Enough?

If you have valuables you care about protecting keys are not enough anymore.  Locks are very easy to defeat with a technique called "key bumping".  You can find a video on how that is done on my youtube channel.

Information on how to copy keys....even keys that are not allowed to be copied by their design, can be defeated.  You can read about how to do that simply here.

So what you need to do, is be careful about leaving your keys about or giving them to someone who may get them copied to come back and steal from you later.

Use some sort of an alarm system as a back up, even if it is not monitored, it will record for you if someone opened and entered your home or office with a key by the audit trail on the system.

If you are a woman and concerned about a stalker or an old boyfriend who had a copy of your key at one time....bite the bullet and pay to have the lock re-keyed to another key.

CCTV is another back up and is more affordable than it has ever been.

Just don't rely simply on keys anymore, they are not sufficient.
