Upgrading Commercial and Home Security

When someone thinks of the phrase “home security” the first thing that may come to mind would be something out of a television show with a room full of computers and armed guards. At Phila-Locksmith, unfortunately, we do not offer services such as these. However we still are in the home security industry for people who wish to protect their home or business in a more manageable and affordable manner. The greatest key to protecting your home or business is to make sure that you are completely prepared.

While it would be great to have a personal security detail in your home, most people can not afford to do this, which is why Phila-Locksmith offers more sensible solutions for everyday home and business security. One of the first steps in making sure that your home is prepared against break-ins is to make sure that all of your locks, on both the windows and doors, are properly functioning and fit correctly into the door. This is easy for any home owner to do and can help you identify where you may have a security deficiency.

In addition to making sure that all of your locks are properly fitted and working, you need to make sure that you have the correct locks. All entry doors should have a deadbolt lock on them for both commercial and residential uses. Deadbolts provide a more secure lock on exterior doors than normal cylinder locks do. This is the easiest improvement to home security that we find and it is quite affordable to customers when compared with more sophisticated home security measures.

If you are looking for home security that is more advanced than your everyday deadbolt then Phila-Locksmith is still able to assist you. We offer high level residential security options as well as options for commercial locations. A good source of security for both businesses and more expensive homes is the installation of closed circuit television. Closed circuit television (CCTV) offers you security cameras that will monitor the entrances to your business or home. The security cameras then transmit those images to a recording station within the home or business. This prevents outside interference and allows you to fully control your security.

CCTV and deadbolts are not the extent of Phila-Locksmith’s home security however they are the most common services that we see people are interested in. For more information on protecting your home or home and business security options give a call to Phila-Locksmith at 215-554-6109 and we will be happy to help you with any questions.
