.jpg) Media ReleaseAugust, 2013 MISISSAUGA, Ont. – With summer coming to an end, many homeowners will be tackling last minute renovation projects while they still have the chance. Replacing the locksets in your home with something more modern can give your home a fresh, new look with minimal effort. But how do you choose a lockset when there are so many choices available? Weiser, a leading innovator in home security for more than 100 years, has put together some tips on what to consider when buying new security for your home. "Choosing a lockset can be a very daunting task, especially when you don’t know what you’re looking for," said Mark Wallace of Weiser. "Weiser strives to make the choice easy by offering a variety of styles and finishes." Check out Weiser's list of tips for easy lockset buying: Warranty Be sure to review the product warranty before purchasing. A good lockset warranty will protect against finish deterioration and defects in material and workmanship. See Weiser's lockset warranties here. Customer Service Customer service is often overlooked when it comes to buying a lockset, but you should look for a manufacturer that stands behind their products with easily accessible customer service. You may have installation challenges or something just might not feel right, so being able to talk with a knowledgeable customer service rep is important. Quality Often times, consumers make the mistake of purchasing a lockset based on price instead of quality. Weiser suggests avoiding the low cost locksets and choosing a brand name product made of durable materials, noting that the less expensive product may come with a hidden cost when it breaks down prematurely, potentially compromising the security of your home. Variety Be sure to check out the variety of styles available for the lockset of your choice. Choose a style and finish that complement your existing decor.
