Home Owners

-Keeping intruders out is the #1 priority. Here are some things you should know:

• DEADBOLTS are 80 times more secure than an entrance key set.
• Grade "2" lock sets are far superior to Grade "3" lock sets and the same grading applies to DEADBOLTS as well.
• Many insurance companies can LOWER YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUM by up to 15% when DEADBOLTS are installed.

- Every 13 seconds a home is burglarized in the United States. Keep your family safe with these tips:

• Locks should be re-keyed when moving into a new home.
• Electronic locks offer keyless entry and re-programmability. No more lost keys!
• Put the security stickers on your doors and windows. This act alone will detour many intruders.
• Front and back doors should be made of solid hard wood or be of metal wrapped construction.
• 40% of non-forced entry residential crime is via the garage door. Make sure it is locked at all times.
• Dog and cat door flaps offer easy access to homes despite their small size. It is advised to remove these for proper security.
