Although most people focus on unpacking and arranging furniture after moving into a new home, your personal security can also make or break your experience. For example, what will you do if the old owners decide to stop by to pick up a few things that they left, or if a neighbor kid walks straight through your front door. Before you do anything else, it is important to focus on your security by rekeying your house. Choose a new door knob, dress up your front door with a fancy electronic deadbolt, and install a sturdy kick plate. You never know, your changes could dress up your entryway, in addition to securing your space.
