Are you worried about the safety of your Perth suburb? It might be a crime hotspot. While it pays to be careful, you need not worry unnecessarily; there are some things you can do to keep your house safe.
A key breaking off while inside the lock can be an upsetting and frustrating issue. But considering that most keys are manufactured from soft metals such as nickel or brass, the issue is not very unusual. Wear and tear over the years, or poor lubrication within the lock are other factors that can result in a broken key in the lock.

What if you lose the keys to your door? Can you sleep in peace knowing that someone out there might easily gain access to your home?
