Keeping your business secure is essential, not only to protect your assets and profits, but to keep your employees safe and secure while they are present in the workplace. If you live in a relatively low crime area, it can be easy to become complacent and believe that a theft or unlawful entry could never happen to your business, and you can just as easily convince yourself that investing in security is unnecessary. However, it doesn’t pay to think like this, and cutting corners when it comes to protecting your business and employees, simply isn’t worth the risk.

When it comes to your business premises, cutting corners with security is never an option, and your lock systems should always be professionally installed and repaired, by a certified locksmith; here’s why:

Mercedes is a popular choice of automobile for many discerning American citizens, and while they can be fantastically stylish and dependable cars, getting the ignition key replaced if you lose it or it becomes stolen, can be a pain. It’s a lesser known fact that locksmiths can actually provide a car key replacement service for a range of vehicles, so when a Mercedes Benz owner misplaces their key and desperately needs a new one so that they can make it on time to their first business meeting of the day, they automatically assume that they need to contact a local, Mercedes Benz dealer. While some may still choose to do this, imagine if you need the key replaced at super short notice or outside of office hours? Finding a dealership open out of hours is next to impossible, meaning that you’re stuck without your vehicle until office hours begin the next day.

Protecting a business from the threat of criminals has never been as easy and effective thanks to closed-circuit television, better known as CCTV. With a rise in crime over recent years reported by the Home Office, more and more businesses are turning to this new technology to help keep their properties, employees and clients, safe, and here’s how your business could benefit from CCTV:

It may not always be necessary to change every lock at your business premises if you want to improve security, when rekeying them may be a more affordable option. You may assume that a licensed locksmith will always advise you to change the locks if you’d had a potential security breach, but after assessing your circumstances, they may suggest rekeying instead. So, what is rekeying and when might you need to do it at your commercial property?

Did you know that the quickest and most reliable way to get your car keys replaced or programmed, is to call on the services of an auto locksmith? No matter what type of vehicle you have, your local auto locksmith could be there within minutes to help get you back on the road again:

While lockdowns and other restrictions may be easing in many countries, the memory of being housebound for weeks on end will remain for some years to come, and for a lot of us, it’s a vivid one. We remember how we took more notice of our home in general: how it functions, what noises it makes, and how it protects us and keeps us safe. Hygiene was also a big concern, and many of us contemplated, or switched to contactless locking systems.

Protecting your home or business from the threat of intruders is something that you should never cut corners on; you need the best locks that you can afford and advice and guidance from a licensed locksmith.

No matter how many guns you keep in your home, office or man cave, you’ll want to keep them safe, and the best way of doing this is with a fire rated gun safe, but do you know enough about them to make an informed purchase?

No matter how often or infrequently you open your electronic gun safe, few things can be more frustrating than not being able to get into it when you need to. Usually caused by battery failure, while it might mean that the battery is dead, it could also mean that it doesn’t have enough amperage to power the electronic lock.

While there is absolutely no reason why a rented apartment can’t be just as safe (and in some cases, safer) as a standard house, it pays to make a few simple security checks before and after you move in, just to be on the safe side:

Whether your business deals with sensitive data or has valuable items stored within its premises, keeping the wrong people out, and allowing the right people in, is vital for the protection of your business, employees and clients. While you may have a good high security lock system, nothing beats an access control system for limiting exactly who ca gain entry to your business, and who should be left very firmly on the other side.

Determining whether you’re getting a good return on your security investments at home is tricky, as if the systems you’ve put in place are working, it will seem as if they are doing nothing, and knowing whether this is because they are acting as a deterrent or because there was no real threat in the first place, can be next to impossible to know.

Retail stores have long been prime targets for shoplifters and other types of thieves, and as a store owner, keeping the premises safe, secure and unappealing to criminals can feel like a losing battle. However, there are things that you can do to improve the security at your retail premises, and here’s how:

The size of your gun safe may well depend upon how many guns you have in your possession, and whether you want to keep them all in the same place, but there is one important consideration that all gun experts, collectors and safety experts advise of:

Patio doors can be a real asset to a home or business, particularly if they open out onto a private outside area that can be used for family gatherings, BBQ’s or even business meetings when the weather is fine. However, they can be an easy target for burglars, with many preferring to try and gain illegal access to a property through them, as they are generally at the back of buildings, where their criminal endeavours can be hidden from public view.

While some homeowners don’t consider their garage door to be a vital element of their home, the role that it plays is actually a significant one, and the condition and style of a door can have a huge impact on the overall look of a home.

If you’re just beginning to think about the security needs of your business, or simply want to check that you’re existing safety precautions are substantial enough, then these top tips should help you:

Not all of us can afford (or want) to live in high class, safe neighborhoods, and it’s an unfortunate reality that many people today, live in areas of towns and cities that have high crime rates. However, nobody can become complacent, no matter where they live, and we should all be taking steps to protect ourselves and our homes from criminals.

For peace of mind and to protect homes in the best way possible, most will have doorknobs and deadbolts on the doors at the front of the property. The main entranceway will doubtless have a doorknob and a key, along with a deadbolt. Deadbolts are single or double sided, and for most front doors, a single sided deadbolt with a thumb turn is the best option. For doors with glass or windows, a double-sided bolt would work best.

Rust can build up on guns quickly, especially if you don’t handle them often and so don’t notice it. Knowing how to prevent your guns from rusting in a gun safe can increase their performance, and in so doing, increase the safety for you and anyone else who might handle the gun or be in the vicinity when it’s fired.

Whether you’re thinking about adding to your gun collection, or thinking about purchasing your first firearm, where to safely store both the weapons and the ammunition, should be your primary concern. While keeping guns locked safely away in a fire rated gun safe is certainly common sense and a best practice, should you store your ammo in there, too?

Doors, unsurprisingly, are the focal point for burglars and intruders and once these are bypassed, they are given full and easy access to your home and any valuables inside it. The importance of burglar-proofing your doors should not be underestimated, as some criminals will stop at nothing in their efforts to get in if they think the rewards will be worth it:

More often, the items that we tend to keep in a home safe, are the very ones that we shouldn’t, and these can include valuables that haven’t been inventoried, documents you may never need, or rarely have a need for, and large sums of cash.

Even if your business is only small or medium sized, and you believe that you don’t need to increase the security at your premises, there are many reasons why you may be wrong. Catching would be criminals, preventing fire damage and having more control over who enters your business premises, can only be achieved with a functioning and efficient security system, or indeed, several, and here are just a few reasons why neglecting security could prove bad for you and your business:

If you have important items that you need to keep safe from harm or theft, either at your home or business, then you probably need a fireproof or fire resistant safe. But what is the difference, and which one do you need?

You’ve made the important first step by purchasing a fire-proof safe to store your valuable items in, but have you given enough thought to where you will put it? A quality safe is an investment, and if you’re storing valuable items inside one, then it’s clear that investments are important to you. So, don’t waste your investment by putting your safe in the wrong place in your home or business. Here are some general points to help you when placing a safe inside your property:

Burglars, intruders, thieves, call them what you will, but never give them an easy ride when it comes to breaking into your home. Sadly, such people are always on the look-out for new properties to steal from and are always developing new tricks and techniques for planning and carrying out burglaries. However, with these tips, bungling a burglar’s plans has never been easier, and there is no reason why your home should fall prey to unwanted guests:

Neighbourhood burglaries can often occur in waves, with one property being targeted one night, and the rest soon falling prey to criminals as the days pass. If there has been a spate of burglaries in your street or vicinity – or even if it’s usually a crime-free area – it might be time to ensure that your front door is burglar proof. While some intruders will enter through windows, many will get in through your front door, and without taking any preventative measures, your home could be extremely vulnerable.

It might seem like a question with a straightforward answer, but in fact, many US citizens aren’t clear as to what should and shouldn’t be kept in a safe, and hopefully the following guidance will help clarify the matter:

The modern world is full of electronic devices, many of which are of high value, and not just for their cost, but because of the information stored in them. As may already be the case for some of us, our devices are more valuable to thieves than other items such as gold and jewellery, making keeping them safe a high priority.

Having a clear understanding of what you want to use your residential safe for, will help enormously when you start shopping for one. For example, do you need to keep important documents safe, keep a gun out of harms way, or protect your valuable from burglars? You should also consider your budgetary restrictions, and do a little research before you select the right residential safe for your home:

No matter where you live, be it in a gated community, the midst of a thriving metropolis, or slap bang in the middle of nowhere, the safety of you, your family and your personal belongings are always worth protecting. Whether you believe your location is enough to keep burglars at bay or think that your security methods are enough to deter criminals, many people who end up being burgled, are often surprised to find themselves the victim of a robbery or intrusion. The point being, that sometimes, however sturdy your locks are, everyone is susceptible to crime and the simple act of having a safe in your home, can ensure that even if criminals do gain unlawful entry to your property, they’re not going to be able to get their hands on certain, irreplaceable items.

When your company premises are damaged due to vandalism or intruders, not only can this slow your business down, but it can cost considerable money to put right. If you value your business, then you should absolutely value its premises, too, and here are a few questions you should be asking yourself to determine whether your business premises are secure enough:

For those of us who own guns, keeping them safely in our homes should be a priority, and we should always be able to control who has access to them, and who doesn’t. Home intruders are perhaps the most likely individuals that would seek out, steal and use your guns, but in fact anyone who enters your home may be able to get their hands on them if they’re not kept secure, and this could have tragic consequences.

Electronic safes are one of the most secure ways of storing valuable items, and when you buy a high-quality one, you can depend upon it to keep your guns, jewellery and sensitive documents safe from harm. They also give you almost instant easy access to its contents, meaning that you don’t have to waste time making trips to safety deposit boxes at your local bank.

Depending upon what you want to store in your safe, the cost will vary according to the level of protection that you require. The general rule of thumb is that the more you spend, the better protection a safe will afford you, but to give you a little more guidance if you’re wanting to purchase a gun safe or a home safe, here are some things to look out for:

Modern gun safes have become more sophisticated than ever before, with many models coming with LED lights for easier contents viewing, drawers that seamlessly in and out for smaller guns such as pistols and finishes that are fire resistant. That’s all well and good, but it makes selecting the best gun safe for your needs, trickier than ever. Here is a short guide to choosing the best gun safe for your needs:

Many US homes are fitted with standard locks, and while this almost certainly compromises the safety of the homes inhabitants, many homeowners may not be fully aware of just how vulnerable they are making themselves. Made from cheap materials and not industry tested, standard locks can be bought for as little as 5 bucks apiece and offer security at its very lowest level. But what’s the alternative?

Aside from the safe keeping of your firearms at home to prevent individuals from getting their hands on them and putting lives at risk, there are other things to think about when protecting your guns:

If you’re going to invest in a safe to protect your valuable or precious items, then you may as well do it right and purchase a fireproof one. Buying a safe with the highest fire rating will naturally give a safe and the items stored within, the highest protection should it be engulfed in flames, but did you know how they are made fireproof?

Padlocks have been around since times of old, and there’s no sign of them waning in popularity yet. For as long as they can continue to perform their function – which a good quality padlock can certainly do – they will be used to secure items and property well into the future. Naturally, the type of lock that you need will depend entirely on what you are trying to secure, but here are a few general pointers and tips to help guide you when purchasing a padlock:

Locksets for main entrance doors usually comprise of two pieces: a deadbolt and a matching doorknob. It goes without saying that a deadbolt will always be more secure than a doorknob alone, but there are still ways that even a deadbolt can be compromised if an intruder is determined to get into your property, meaning that ideally, you should consider upgrading to a high-security lock. We’ll look at how deadbolts can be compromised and what locks you can buy to protect your home as best as you can from thieves and intruders:
