Home Security Tips for Cypress Living

Our climate and layout bring unique challenges. Keep your home secure with a few easy habits and upgrades.

• Humidity and heat Use a quality graphite or PTFE lubricant in your keyways twice a year. Avoid oil-based products that gum up in dust and pollen season.
• Door alignment Wood doors can swell in summer. If your deadbolt does not throw smoothly, the strike may be misaligned. A small adjustment can prevent a stuck lockout at night.
• Long screws Replace the short strike and hinge screws with 3 inch screws that hit the studs. This strengthens the frame against force.
• Spare keys Store a spare with someone you trust in Cypress rather than under a mat or in a fake rock. Those tricks are old news to intruders.
• Smart lock batteries Put a calendar reminder to swap batteries twice a year or when the app alerts you. Keep a 9-volt handy if your keypad supports emergency power.
• Code hygiene Avoid easy codes like 1234 or a birth year. Change codes after cleaners, contractors, or sitters no longer need access.
• Sliding doors Add an anti-lift pin and a secondary lock. A cut wooden dowel in the track works, but a keyed or foot lock is better.
• Lighting A bright entry with a motion light lowers risk and helps cameras and video doorbells see clearly.
• Windows Simple pin locks can secure ground-floor windows without making them hard to open from the inside.

Want a quick walk-through of your home’s entries and easy upgrades? Ask for a home security assessment during your rekey or lock install. We point out low-cost fixes that make a big difference.

Brands and Hardware We Work With

We install, rekey, and service most major lock brands found in Cypress homes.

• Schlage
• Kwikset
• Yale
• Baldwin
• Emtek
• Defiant
• Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security options
• August, Nest, and Level for smart access

Not sure what brand you have? Look at the latch face on the door edge for a small logo. Or send us a photo and we will identify it for you.

Seasonal Considerations for Cypress Homes

• Heavy rain and storms Check that doors close cleanly. If the bolt drags, the frame may have shifted. We can re-align hardware so locks throw smoothly.
• Hurricane prep If you plan to evacuate, test every lock and make sure you can secure windows, sliders, and gates fast. Keep fresh keys on hand for neighbors or family who might check your home.
• Pollen and dust Spring can bring grime into locks and tracks. A light clean and lube keeps keys turning and sliders locking.
• New school year Code access is perfect for teens who get home before parents. Set unique codes and alerts so you know when they arrive.

Moving to Cypress? Start Secure on Day One

Buying in a new development or a resale off Telge or Huffmeister? Make rekeying part of your move-in checklist.

Why start with rekeying?

• You control who has keys
• You get fresh, working keys that fit every door you want
• You can match finishes and styles right away
• You set smart lock codes on your schedule

We often meet movers at the curb, rekey while boxes come in, and finish before the last load. That way your home is secure the first night.

Short-Term Rentals and Home Offices

Running an Airbnb near Towne Lake or a home office with separate entry? Smart locks with schedule-based codes let you grant access without handing out keys. We can also provide a keyed override for emergencies and show you how to check access logs.

For home offices, a quality knob and deadbolt combination protects files and equipment. If you handle sensitive work, ask about restricted keyways that cannot be duplicated at a big-box store.

Our Approach to Safety and Identification

Your safety matters. We verify residency or permission to access the property before opening a door. Have a photo ID ready. If you are locked out without ID, we can often verify with utility bills, neighbors, or property managers. If we cannot confirm you have the right to be there, we will not open the door. This keeps our community safe.

What To Expect On Arrival Times in Cypress

Traffic patterns in Cypress can change with school hours, 290 construction, and Grand Parkway congestion. We set honest ETAs and update you if a crash delays us. Most calls see a tech in 20 to 45 minutes. If you prefer a set appointment window later in the day, we are happy to schedule a time that fits your plan.

Small Fixes That Make Locks Last Longer

• Tighten loose door handles to reduce wear on latches
• Replace worn strike plates that have ovalled screw holes
• Add a door closer on garage side doors to keep them from slamming
• Use weather strip that does not bind the door so the deadbolt lines up
• Keep a spare key with a trusted neighbor in Fairfield or Coles Crossing

We bring shims, alignment tools, and the right lubricants on every call so we can tune your doors during service.
