There isn’t a question about it – your residential property has to be kept safe and secure. This is the place where you should feel the absolute safest. You should be able to lock the door and go to sleep at night with confidence and in comfort. No matter where you live, you deserve to feel like you have security. We serve customers in and around Simpsonville, NC and wants to go over some solutions in terms of security for residential properties. We know how important it is for you to feel safe at home, and we want to help you accomplish your goals!

No matter where you live and no matter what type of home you have, whether it’s a single-family home, condo, apartment, duplex or townhome, you should feel like it is properly protected. We can’t all afford to have personal security guards (although that might be nice) but what we can do it make sure we have effective features in place. 

Let’s start with the basics. 

Locks. Everyone has a lock on their front door – and if not, they should! There are different kinds of locks available, of course, and you will want to choose the brand and type that is right for you. Maybe a certain material is more visually-appealing to you or better matches your home. Or maybe you are just committed to a certain brand, like Schlage, Kwikset or Falcon. Now, did you know that you can also have locks installed for your garage, windows and patio sliding door? You can, and you should definitely consider these options for better residential security. There are many options available. There are sliding window locks, latches and so on.

There are sliding door locks that could even function to baby-proof a closet. There are window sash locks, flush mounted sliding patio door locks, bar locks and more. A quick Google search will reveal plenty of options, which can get overwhelming. So, you might want to call the locksmith serving your location to get information on the various window, patio door and front door locks. They can also talk with you about deadbolts and other locks that could be used for your garage door (and keyless entry, as this is another option). 

Keyless Entry. Speaking of keyless entry, this is a good option for some homeowners. You might be prone to misplacing your keys. Or maybe you frequently have guests in town, who you don’t want to have to constantly make extra keys for. Perhaps you sometimes need people to go in to walk your dog. In some cases, it’s just easier and makes more sense to go keyless. Again, there are many different options available for those interested in this form of security.

You can call a locksmith serving your location for details on keyless entry systems that fit within your budget. You are sure to discover plenty of options! There is the Next x Yale lock, for example, the Schlage Camelot Satin Nickle Smart Door Lock, Smart Code Keyless Entry Deadbolt lock, and more. Basically, there are many different options at all different price points. Some are made from different materials. Others can be connected to your smartphone. You are sure to find something that is perfect for you. 

Deadbolts. A deadbolt is a way to better secure your residential property. The Schlage Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Deadbolt is a popular option. Kwikset and Kaaba also make affordable deadbolts for homeowners. You can’t beat having an added layer of security for your home, so why not look into these options? 

Rekeying Locks. This is a good service for residential security. Let’s say you rent out a room in your home. If you have the person renting from you move out, you are going to want to either replace or rekey your locks. You don’t want them to continue to have access to your home. This is also a good service if you recently moved into a new home, because you can never know how many people have gained access to a copy of your key. Just to be safe, rekey your locks in these scenarios. 

Safe Installation. If you have a weapon, or if you have valuable items you want to keep out of plain view, consider having a safe installed for better residential security. This way, if your home is ever broken into, or if you have contractors who you don’t personally know coming into your home, you can trust that your valuable items are properly locked away. This is a good idea and can even help you to stay better organized. Safes come in all different sizes and options, so surely you will find something that fits in your budget, no matter what your budget happens to be.

New Lock Installation. If you simply are not happy with your current locks, have them replaced. Maybe they tend to get jammed, or otherwise are not working as well as they used to. Don’t take chances – have new locks installed by a locksmith who is licensed and insured! You can’t go wrong. With so many brands to choose from and types of locks, you are going to find something that you are happy with. There isn’t a question about it – your residential property is so important to you and your family, and it has to be kept safe and secure.

This is the place where you should completely confident about the level of security that you have. You should be able to lock the door when you get home after a long day, and go to sleep at night with confidence that you and your family are protected because you have anti-burglary features in place, whether that entails having an alarm system that alerts the police if someone tries to get in, or just adequate locks throughout the property. No matter where you live, you deserve to feel like you have security. Call a locksmith with any questions about security for your residential property!
