Security is a top priority for most homeowners. With so many options on the market, it can be difficult to know what type of security products are right for you and your home.
This blog post will show you different security items that a handyman can install in your home, including security screens, security locks, and home alarms.
Locks
Installing high grade locks on windows and doors is one of the easiest and most inexpensive security upgrades any home can have. The best recommended locks are made from steel and should be at least five millimetres thick with a bolt that extends into both the door and frame for added security.
Security Locksets
A well-made lock will keep intruders out of your home, but it doesn’t do anything to prevent them from breaking in through an unlocked door. Because of this, many people choose to install a security lock on their front and back door as well as any exterior doors leading into the house.
Security Cameras
Installing home cameras is another way to keep your family safe while you’re away from home or at work. Security cameras are affordable and many these days are also wireless with a long battery life, making them very easy to install.
Many cameras now can also be linked via a Mobile App, allowing you to keep an eye on your property and receive notifications of any movement even if you are out for the day or even overseas.
Home Alarms
Installing an alarm system in your home can give you peace of mind while you are away. There is a wide variety of systems to choose from, with different levels of protection and features.
Security Screens
A security screen may not seem like it will do much good if someone wants to break into your house, however it will act as a deterrent, and particularly if you use a high grade screen.
