South End Security Spotlight: Watch Out For Fake Mailmen!

by

In what is surely one of the strangest crimes we’ve read about in a while, an East Boston man dressed up as a mailman and his companion, a registered Level 2 sex offender, were pretending to be delivering the mail while really attempting to break into a home. That’s according to this news story on SouthEndPatch.

That’s a new one for South End business owners. It’s not enough that we have to worry about criminals breaking in during the wee hours of the night, petty vandals, and the everyday security issues that come to business owners.  Now we have to watch out for fake mailmen!

South End Commercial Locksmith: Protect Your Business

If you own a business or manage residential properties in the South End, you know that commercial security is a big concern. By working with your South End Commercial Locksmith, you can identify the best ways to protect your business, whether you’re opening a new business, remodeling or upgrading an existing business, or need to repair your business’ locks.

We may not have many crooks dressing up as mailmen on a regular basis, but we do have to admit that there’s crime in South End.  As a business owner, you can wind up facing security challenges on two fronts. The criminal element that comes in from outside is one big problem – but in some instances, it’s the internal criminal, the employee who steals from you, that can do the most damage.

South End Master Key Systems allow you to protect your business by restricting access to valuable areas (such as storage areas, inventory, r&d and more) to only those people who have a legitimate, professional reason to be there. Restricted Key Systems prevent unauthorized duplication of your keys, an integral component of smart business security.   Restricted Key Systems are often far more affordable than you might suspect.

Dorchester Business Owner’s Spotlight: Commercial Locksmith

by

Being a business owner in Dorchester is hard. There are always plenty of criminals out there, ready, willing, and able to rip you off at the first opportunity. Somehow it makes things even worse when you learn that other business owners are willing to make their profit at your expense. Store owners who buy shoplifted goods to re-sell in their own establishment (often for pennies on the dollar) have been the target of recent police investigation, but this is not a problem that is just going to go away.

Business owners need to be able to protect themselves.  We don’t like to think about it, but often the source of our shrinkage or loss problems comes from within: employees who have easy access to inventory may take advantage of your trust, especially when they know there are ready buyers for stolen inventory. A master key system can restrict who can get to your valuable inventory and  help keep products that haven’t even had a chance to make it to the store shelves from being stolen.

Door closers and openers are another essential element of commercial security your Dorchester locksmith can help you with.  People who are shoplifters look for opportunities.  There’s nothing easier to get into than a back entrance or supply room door that has inadvertently been left open.  It only takes a few minutes to slip inside and start grabbing merchandise! Door closers take chance out of the equation: you know your doors will close completely and securely when they’re in place.

Talk to your Dorchester commercial locksmith about business security systems. There are a range of options available to help keep your business – which is, after all, your livelihood – safe as possible from opportunistic criminals.  You don’t have to see your merchandise being sold for pennies on the dollar to profit someone else! Working with your Dorchester commercial locksmith gives you options.

Quincy Commercial Locksmith

Do you know what one of the cover stories in Police Chief Magazine is this month? It’s Civil Disturbance Readiness: How Ready is Your Agency?, a frank and fairly complete look at the challenges facing local law enforcement if the riots and civil unrest we’ve seen in Europe show up in America. There’s been relatively minimal amounts of vandalism, property damage, and criminal mischief associated with the Occupy movement – but as a Quincy business owner, you know there’s no guarantee that all social protest movements are going to follow that same model.

Quincy Commercial Locksmith

What steps can you take to keep your business safe? It’s always prudent to be proactive about Quincy commercial security. We all hope to never see riots in the street here, but we must also acknowledge that there are already the criminals, the vandals, and the mindlessly-destructive individuals in our community.  By working in partnership with your Quincy commercial locksmith, you can develop a security strategy that protects your livelihood.

There are many factors to consider when protecting your Quincy business.  Controlling access to your building is essential.  There are the obvious public entrances that need to be attractive, inviting spaces while remaining secure against unauthorized individuals after hours.  Talk to your Quincy commercial locksmith about the best locks and security system options. It’s also critical to ensure that your service entrance, delivery area, and other entry doors can lock securely.

Sometimes it turns out that we’ve hired a less-than-scrupulous person.  Internal theft and shrinkage are huge problems. Keyless Entry Systems allow you to restrict access to supply areas, equipment storage lockers, records rooms, and more. Protect yourself and your clientele!  Keyless Entry Systems track attempts at access by unauthorized users – information you can use to protect your business!

One of the main concerns business owners have is controlling access to their business.  Some parts of your business may be open to public – either 24 hours a day or during your hours of operation – while other areas are reserved for your employees or yourself. If you are a property manager, have a Boston apartment building, or have a hotel, bed and breakfast, or similar hospitality-based business, you want to make sure that your lawful tenants have easy access – while the criminal element in our society is kept completely out of the picture.

For that reason, you’ll want to talk to your Boston commercial locksmith about Masterkey Systems, restricted key systems, and keyless entry systems.

To protect your assets, inventory, staff and business, it’s essential that you have strong doors that lock securely. If a criminal tries a door and it is  open, unlocked or it opens very easily, that’s bad news for your business. Talk to your Boston commercial locksmith about door closers, as well as door hardware installation and replacement.

There are several types of safety and  security measures that a business owner must have to comply with local regulations and ordinances. Talk to your Boston commercial locksmith about Emergency Exit devices. This keeps your employees, your customers, and your business safe!
