Door Security For Homes
80% of break-ins take place through the front or back door of a home. Two thirds of these are forced entries. With figures like that it’s little wonder that most homeowners want to choose and install effective door security for their homes.
There are ways that homeowners can defend themselves from these sorts of break-ins. Most of them are to do with the types of entry and door security devices that are used. If you live in Orange CA, then Orange Locksmith can use their skill and knowledge to sort out your security needs.
Most break-ins take place through one of the doors, so that is the first place to improve security. The better the locking device, the better is the security. A door that uses a key is the minimum level of security. The next step is the use of a night latch and more secure still are deadlocks and dead latches.
A night latch is installed on the inside of a door and allows residents to get out. No one can get in, unless let in. However, a burglar could let himself out. A dead latch is not that much different from a night latch, but it has a key on the inside. A thief would need a key to get out. A dead lock is like a dead latch, but the lock connects with the keeper and when it is locked, the lock and keeper cannot be parted.
These last two locks might keep thieves from getting in and out but it also stops the family getting out in a hurry. This type of door security for homes can be quite easily installed by one of our experienced technicians at Orange Locksmith.
Alarms
Alarm systems can be fitted that range from motion detection alarms to door alarms that are activated when the door is actually opened. Some alarms automatically switch off when the door is closed. A thief, once in the home, only has to shut the door and the alarm stops. However, even some quite simple and inexpensive devices can set off a very loud noise that might well scare off the would-be thief.
Home Safes
Many of us own passports, documents, jewelry, a valuable watch and cash, which are far too valuable or awkward to lose. A home safe can be installed, so that it can’t be seen easily and fixed securely to the wall or floor or both. The door on the safe is usually locked with a combination key and rarely causes trouble except when you forget the combination. Call Orange Locksmith if you have a home safe door lock problem.
