Do you know there are some towns and cities in the world where people don’t lock their doors ever? Talk about our housing societies and most of us will feel that our house is insecure even with a proper lock. We require more advanced and foolproof security mechanisms to protect our house from burglary and vandalism.

To achieve this objective, I will suggest four security hardware, that your locksmith should have already suggested you. If he hasn’t yet, find out about these now, and then get those implemented for enhanced home security. door knob

1. Burglar alarms It’s a home security system kit which includes a control panel, sound box, and motion sensors. The motion detectors, when installed, work to detect movement in the set area depending upon its range. If any movement is detected, a message is sent to the control panel to activate the alarms, and there you go! It’ll startle and scare away someone who’s trying to sneak into your house.

Burglar alarms are best suited for urban set ups and for houses that are surrounded by a lot of other houses. If you live on the countryside, and there’s nothing around your house for miles, such a system is of no use to you. The setup cost depends on the system, and a local locksmith Baltimore will advise you better on which one is fit for your home but remember that initial setup cost is indeed costly.

2. Keypad locks If you’re a person who often forgets his keys or drops them somewhere, you may want to consider this system. Instead of using keys to unlock the door, you use a key code. But here’s the issue. The key codes can be passed on or leaked very quickly. You’ll obviously give the code to your kids, and they may not doubt their best friends, and soon, everyone will have the key code to your house.

To double up the security, you will need a combination of keypad locks and a standard deadbolt lock. So, don’t consider it an alternative to using keys but rather a system for double protection.

3. Indoor and outdoor cameras Above two are necessary home security systems that every good locksmith will suggest. But you may want to consider having cameras to monitor the activity around your house while you’re not at home. If you’re a working individual, you must have this system. You can just access your phone to check who is at your door while you’re at the office. You can also have indoor cameras to monitor your pet activity.
