Security for Residential Property

Homes are going up everywhere. It seems in some places, everywhere you look there is a new community being built. There are so many options with home ownership, from condos to single family houses. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if you rent or own. What matters is you feel safe in your home. The only way this can be the case is if you have solid security for your residential property. 

Schedule a Consultation & Inspection

When it comes to security for your property, you might want to do research on your own, or you might find it easier to reach out to a lock and security provider that provides services in your location. You could begin by asking for an inspection, or you might find that a free consultation is very helpful for you. You can let the expert know the concerns you have – perhaps you don’t think your front door lock is sturdy, or maybe you’d like a CCTV system. Perhaps you would prefer a keyless system but aren’t sure where to begin in the shopping process. It could just be that you lack confidence in how safe your property is. An expert should be able to offer the guidance you need. 

You might not have thought of this regarding residential security solutions – but in some cases, you might be able to benefit from a discount on insurance. Some companies offer lower rates depending on the features you have in place. Why not ask about this?  

Now that you realize how important residential property security is and you know that you have the option to connect with a locksmith, we are going to go over some of the solutions we are frequently asked about…

Child-Proof Locks for Homes with Small Kids. Having a baby or toddler means making changes around your home. Think about it – you might have locked your dresser to the wall, so if the child were to climb on it, it would not necessarily fall over. Maybe you have had to put something on top of sharp corners, and move chemicals from under your sink to higher up off the ground where they are out of reach. Speaking of being out of reach, can your small child reach your front door lock? You might want to consider child-resistant locks. There are quite a few options and they are completely affordable. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Lock Rekeying Service. Would you consider having your locks rekeyed? If you aren’t sold on totally replacing your locks, then maybe you will be interested in having them rekeyed. This can be the case if the locks are in decent shape. It’s cost effective, too! 

Look into Keyless Systems. From Kwikset to Schlage, there are many different keyless entry systems available. You could spend less than $50 or you could spend a few hundred dollars or more on your system. Would you prefer an auto-locking system? What about a smart wi-fi deadbolt? What is your preference? Keyless systems are good for those who don’t want to have to pay if they get locked out because they can avoid lockouts. These systems are good for people who want to share a code with friends and guests so they can easily get inside. There are many reasons to go keyless. Think about if this is the type of system that might benefit you.

Upgraded Locks You want peace of mind. You want the most secure way to protect your property. Sometimes, a lock upgrade is all it takes. And with all the brands out there, like Arrow, Mul-T-Lock and Yale, you can’t go wrong in terms of options. Upgraded locks, depending on what you get, can reduce your risk of losing your keys; they can provide you with peace of mind; and they can be a better match in terms of aesthetics for your home. 

Deadbolts. A deadbolt can be great to have, and you have lots of options. You can even get smart ones. Whether you want a keyless or single cylinder deadbolt, or something else, you can enjoy another security layer.  

Safe Installation. Another option for residential security is a safe, which is beneficial whether you have a weapon that needs to be hidden so not just anyone can access it, or important files that need to be kept organized and protected. You can enjoy a theft-deterrent as well as a security feature that protects your items temporarily during a severe problem like a fire. You wouldn’t want your child’s birth certificate to get destroyed in a flood. You wouldn’t want your passport to be destroyed in a fire. And of course, you don’t want cash just sitting around. So why not consider safe installation? This is a great solution for residential property owners. 

When you have a residential property, it is important to keep it protected. You can do this by making sure you have the right security features installed.
