Upgrades to Make the Neighbors Jealous

Re-Key Me

A good home security system blends equal parts preparation and paranoia. That's why KwikSet's new SmartKey plan is appealing -- instead of pins and tumblers, which a sheared-down key can "bump" out of position, the deadbolt uses a new un-bumpable technology called a "side locking bar." When you want to change the locks, simply insert the small SmartKey adapter, then insert a new key. The lock "learns" the new key, rendering the old one obsolete. So easy, you could change your locks every day.
