Buying locks for your home can be difficult if you don’t
know what you’re looking for. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when
purchasing a new lock:(1) You get what you pay for, the higher the price the
more likely it will offer better security.(2) Know the brand; some common
brands have a better reputation of both durability as well as security. (3) Know
what type of lock you need, typically you find two types of locks on homes. A door
knob and/or a deadbolt, knowing what you have and want is a major key in buying
the right lock for you. |

Here are a few questions to ask yourself when purchasing
a safe. (1) Sadly the price for safety is high, so when looking for your safe,
have a price range in mind. That way you can see all your options. (2) What are
you planning on putting in your safe? Size is important, from birth
certificates to something much larger like a gun. Having an idea of what you
want to put inside makes the shopping process much faster. (3) Lastly, the
function of your safe. Only you know yourself, whether it’s forgetting
the combo or misplacing the keys. |

 "It's a great feeling
when you finally get handed the keys to your new home. Walking to the front
door with your head held high, nothing can ruin this moment. Until, you think
of ALL the other people that may have lived there at one time or another. Yet
with every problem there is a solution, one word "Rekey!" We
recommend to at least rekey the perimeter door locks. Make your moving day, a
safe one."

 We all have those days where losing our keys are
inevitable. Here are three easy tips to help you. (1) give a
spare to a friend and/or family member. Knowing someone you trust has a spare
key gives you reassurance and a piece of mind. (2) always have a copy of your
key(s) in your purse and/or wallet. That way if you’re in a hurry, you have
a backup. (3) purchase a "Hide-A-Key". This is one of the oldest methods but still effective. You might not see the need now but down the road it’s going to save you time
and money! |

Statistics
show that more than 34% of Burglars use the front door to get access inside. Also be sure to lock and secure allwindows,
over 23% of Burglars enter threw first floor windows.
Also, avoid posting on social media sites that your house is/or will be empty.
This generation does everything online. So the first thing they look for is
anything suggesting “Leaving” or “Going Out”. So be safe when updating a status
or posting online (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). Sometimes it's safer
to "late post" rather than giving "real-time"
info. |

 Be cautious of purchasing automotive transponder keys and remotes online. Make sure that the company or seller can verify the item you are purchasing is compatible with your vehicle by year, make and model. If you have an existing remote and you are looking to buy a 2nd one, you should check the "FCC #" on the back to confirm that it matches to remote you are buying. "Like Us" @ |

 Try to get into the routine of placing your keys in the same place as soon as you walk through the door but keep them safe at night and out of view of potential intruders. We recommend moving them to your night stand for safekeeping while you sleep. This way, you definitely know where they are when you wake up first thing in the morning and you won’t have to begin the day with a “where did I leave my keys?" |

 When going on vacation you might want to consider doing the following: 1. Shut & lock all windows and doors. 2. Set up a timer to turn on your TV or radio to appear that someone is home. 3. Leave porch or front light on and one light on inside to appear as though someone is home. 4. Keep a car parked in your driveway or ask a trusted neighbor to use your driveway while you are gone. 5. Ask your local Post Office to hold your mail or have a trusted person collect your mail if you will be gone for an extended amount of time. |
