Home Business and Vehicle Security Tips

Helpful Security Tips

Apartment resident? The lock installed on your apartment door is likely Master Keyed. This makes your property much more vulnerable to theft. A Master Keyed lock is much easier to pick open and if each of the 5 chambers contained in the lock housing holds a master pin, up to 32 different keys can open the lock. For the protection of your family, property and for peace of mind, have a second deadbolt installed on your apartment entrance door.
New homeowner? What most people don't know can hurt them. When a builder develops a new sub-division, he usually has the front door of each new house master keyed. This is done for his convenience and offers no security for the new home owner. One key will usually open the front entrance door to every house in the new development. Consider having your locks Professionally rekeyed and keep your family and property safe.
Keep your high-end vehicle safe - Thieves are targeting high-end vehicles and theft is as easy as having the keys made. The V.I.N. (Vehicle Identification Number) is a thief's passport to your vehicle. A professional vehicle thief will get your V.I.N. number and then go to a vehicle dealership and claim to have lost the keys to your vehicle. The vehicle dealership is not required by law to ask for the ownership and they are more than happy to make the profit from the manufacture of the keys. All vehicle V.I.N. numbers are displayed on the driver's side of the vehicle dashboard. You are not legally allowed to remove the plate bearing this number. You can however, cover this plate over with a business card or piece of paper. Thieves using this method to steal vehicles will go elsewhere…where a V.I.N. number is visible.
Feel secure whith the deadbolt on your door? With the recent tageting of high-end vehicles, a new personal and family safety concern has arisen. Thieves have entered a home where a family is sleeping in order to gain access to high-end vehicle keys. They have been brazen enough to awaken the homeowner from his/her sleep in order to demand the keys to their vehicle. This may put the homeowners life in jeopardy. If you have a home alarm system installed, use it when you go to bed. Have a secondary lock installed on your entrance doors that are only accessable from the inside of the house. Finally, if you have a garage, park your car in it every night.
