Moving into a Winnetka house
Houses here often change hands with keys that have been copied for years: cleaners, gardeners, contractors, neighbors. Rekeying every exterior lock on move-in day is the simplest way to start fresh, and with four or more locks the rekey offer makes the fifth free.
The single knob on the back door
Plenty of older ranch houses still have nothing but a knob lock on the back or side door. A knob latches the door; it doesn't hold it against a shoulder. Adding a deadbolt there closes one of the easiest ways in.
Apartment buildings along the corridors
Complexes line stretches of Sherman Way, Vanowen Street and Winnetka Avenue. Renters should check with the property manager before changing a lock. Owners and managers can rekey units between tenants, or set up a master key so maintenance staff carry one key instead of forty. Keep a written list of which unit keys exist and who holds them.
