Moving into a new build?

In the growth estates south of Waurn Ponds, keys pass through a lot of hands before you get them: the builder, trades, the site supervisor and sometimes a real estate agent. Rekeying the external doors when you move in costs little and means you know exactly who has a key. It's also a good time to add window locks to ground-floor windows and check that sliding doors have a proper lock.
