Oro means gold, so here’s the golden rule of closing day: make your keys the ONLY keys. 🔑✨
We teamed up with Kristen Orostieta | BCS Texas Broker • Real Estate & Lifestyle, Texas Real Estate Broker and owner of Oro Realty, to share the 5 lock & security must-dos every new Bryan–College Station homeowner should handle in week one:
1️⃣ Rekey every exterior door. Every copy the old owners ever made still fits. Rekeying makes them useless.
2️⃣ Reset every digital key. Old keypad codes, smart-lock apps and garage remotes can still work for someone else.
3️⃣ Upgrade weak hardware. A Grade 1 deadbolt and 3-inch strike screws beat builder-grade locks.
4️⃣ Lock the forgotten entries. Side door, garage entry, sliding patio door, mailbox.
5️⃣ Set your lockout plan. No spare under the mat, and a 24/7 locksmith saved in your phone.
The good news? We handle all five in one visit, usually in under an hour. 🎄 Closing before the holidays? Book your rekey for closing day, before the movers and the relatives arrive.
💬 Comment “KEY” and we’ll DM you our free closing-day security checklist.
📌 Save this for closing day and send it to someone who just got their keys.
