Thoughts of Home: It's a place we look forward to returning at the end of a long day. It's a shelter from the rain, a nice warm and cozy feeling. There's no place like it, and it's where the heart is! Safe and secure is what we feel most in our home, but unfortunately, all these wonderful feelings can be taken away and destroyed when an intruder seizes the utmost opportunity to invade our home.
§ have standard locks that do not prevent key duplication or protect against physical attack § have ever given others a copy of your key § have never changed your original locks § have created a "burglar friendly" environment Since homes have many entrances, your home may have one or more doors that make it difficult to secure easily with a standard dead-bolt lock. Aside from the obvious front and back doors, there are many other potential points of entry that are often overlooked. A sliding glass door leading to outside patios or decks, double or French doors, a side service entrance to a garage, or a door leading from the garage to inside the home all need to be considered when securing a home. The most revealing question is - How are the locks on your home? More than likely, they are like the common locks available at most retail stores. These common locks have a very limited choice of combinations for your key, which means the chance of your neighbor's key fitting your door could be 1 in 50. |
