# Closing Up a Lake House for Winter in Seneca, SC

Lake homes and cabins around Seneca often sit empty for weeks in winter. Before you close up, take a few minutes to check every lock and spare key.

- Check that every door, window, and sliding door locks fully before you leave.
- Lock up dock boxes, sheds, and boat lifts, and bring small gear inside.
- Take back spare keys lent out for summer guests, or rekey if you are not sure where they are.
- Ask a local locksmith about stronger deadbolts or a keypad if the house is often empty.
