Home Security is an ecosystem, not a single expensive door lock

If you are thinking about upgrading the security of your home or business, you need to think “outside the lock.”  It is common for home and business owners to focus on having quality door locks, deadbolts, and other entryway security. But this isn’t the whole picture. For example, a deadbolt may not be much protection if you door has glass windows. And doors aren’t the only access to a structure. First floor and basement windows can be easily broken into, and they are often not the focus of a homeowner’s security efforts. Also, a door lock is only as solid as the door it locks. Hollow core doors or weakened door frames mean a lock can be bypassed with a good solid kick.  The lesson here? Locks matter, but they are only part of the picture. Ask a certified locksmith for a complete evaluation of your home security.
