Santa Ana Lock & Key Check
Not sure if you've looked at the news going on in your local town, but in Santa Ana California, there's quite a lot of news regarding personal security and well being lately. On September 30th, 2010, it was reported that a 57 year old woman was murdered in her home in Santa Ana. It has now been discovered that her car and one of her sons are missing. As a local Santa Ana locksmith, this concerns us greatly. We too often overlook security measures because of cost, time, or simple human inertia. However, we strongly urge our fellow community members to perform a lock & key check for your homes, cars, and offices.
First off, you need to observe your own lock & key behaviors. A common mistake is to place a spare key under a mat, potted plant, or somewhere "hidden" yet close to the front door. Thieves know about these common mistakes and make great efforts to take advantage of our own faulted behavior. Leave a spare key with a family member or friend, not outside your door where anybody can freely pick it up.
Secondly, we recommend hiring a licensed and experienced locksmith to run a full inspection of your home to determine if there are any weak points. From there, you will have the basis for further investigation. Typically, weak points rest in the window locks, sliding door locks, back door or side door locks, roofs, and garage door locks. Qualified locksmiths carry the latest and most advanced tools and technology to provide stronger and better equipped locks and security systems. Just moved in? Be sure to change locks and door keys! New place – new start – new locks and keys!
Alarm systems, intercom systems, and surveillance cameras are all routes you may decide to take to ensure the safety of your home, your family, and your valuables. You can consult with a reputable home security system advisor, who can perform a risk assessment and report and present the different alarm system choices. There are also DIY (Do It Yourself) methods, but it is always recommended to speak with a professional.
There are some basic precautions you can also take with your auto. Never leave valuables (including small electronics) in the car when you are not present. Turn the car off and take the key out after locking the doors – even if you are at the gas station and will only be gone for a minute. These are so obvious, yet so important, lock & key solutions that can greatly decrease your chances to fall victim to auto theft.
