Security Tips

For complete home security from burglary and fire a home needs 3 important securities.  Each security buys the house time, the more time it takes a thief to commit his crime, the less likey the crime will be commited: 

1. Good locks
2. A high quality safe
3. A home alarm system

The first and most important - A secure home needs a secure door with good quality locks.  If the theft can't get in, he can't commit the crime.  The most cost effective way to secure your door requires 2 inch screws in the frame of your door.  Go to a local hardware store and buy at least 2 screws measuring 2 inches in length, and install them in your strike plate.  This ensures that your dead bolt is secure to the studs not the frame of the door. For the absolute best security we recommend consulting a local locksmith to ensure your doors and locks are of good quality.  Below is a list of local hardware stores, and locksmiths.

• Ace Hardware
• Lowes
• Home Depot
