The locks on Brookland doors

A security checklist for Brookland
- Have every exterior door rekeyed to one key after you buy
- Add deadbolts to side, kitchen and basement doors
- Secure the door between the garage and the house like an exterior door
- Consider a keypad lock on the door your family uses most
