Quincy Carjacking: Is Scituate Responsible For Rising Crime Rates?

January 16, 2012 by kennyslockinc

If you read the comments in this Patriot Ledger story, you’ll see that many people want to lay the blame for apparently rising crime rates in Quincy on residents of Scituate. Is that reaction warranted? It’s a common human trait when something bad happens – whether it’s a car jacking, home invasion, or burglary – to try to find someone to blame. It’s better if those someones we identify as bad people live far away. After all, no one wants to live next door to a criminal.

But the truth is we never know. The factors that drive someone to engage in criminal behavior – economic pressures, drug addiction, poor morals – know no boundaries. It doesn’t matter what zip code you live in, or next to: you can be the target of criminal activity. It’s essential that you take the steps necessary to protect your family, your home, your car, and your business. At the end of the day, does it matter if you’ve been broken into by a person from Scituate or Quincy – or would you rather have the Quincy home security that keeps your home from being broken into at all?

We talked to your Quincy locksmith about steps you can take to keep your home, car, and business safer. The first step you have to take is to raise your awareness of basic security. As much as we might like to think so, we’re not living in the good old days where everyone could leave their doors unlocked. Today, it’s essential to lock your car. All entrances, including doors, windows, and service entrances to your business must lock securely. Quincy home security begins by having strong locks installed on all doors, windows, and entrances to your home.

Why are strong locks so important? Thieves look for opportunity. Easy access to a home or business via an unlocked door or window makes the criminal’s job easier. They can get in faster, take what they want, and get out in a hurry. If you don’t have strong locks in your Quincy home or business, talk to your Quincy locksmith. Installing a home locking system, or business security system for your Quincy business, can help protect your family, your livelihood, and your assets from criminals – no matter what neighborhood they call home!

Boston Business Security: The Need Is Greater Than Ever

January 8, 2012 by kennyslockinc

Have you noticed all the construction? There’s a building boom in Boston, according to recent stories in the Boston Globe and Herald. Biotechnology companies are growing rapidly, and these firms need office space. This is great news from an economic perspective.

There are other people in Boston who may not take such a benign view of the building boom. To the criminal element, new office space in Boston means that they now have more businesses to target. Desperate people will dare anything for some quick cash, and office complexes can contain lots of valuable computer equipment. If you own a business in Boston, whether you’re going into one of these new office complexes, or reside in a long-established address, security must be one of your top priorities.

Boston Business Security: Your Boston Locksmith

While every business has its own unique set of assets that must be protected, there are universal security needs that all companies should comply with. Your Boston locksmith can be a great resource. Talk to them about making sure that every access point to your business, including every door, window, service entrance, garage door, loading docks, and more, can be locked safely and securely. Thieves look for easy opportunities: open doors, unlocked windows, or overlooked service entrances can make it easy to get in and out of your business undetected.

There are a range of business security systems. Your Boston Locksmith can help you identify which system is best for your business’ unique needs. There are simple items, such as door closers and openers, that your Boston locksmith can install. Installing a door closer is an easy way to eliminate the problem of doors being left open inadvertently by busy employees. Essential for service entrances, delivery doors, and any unmonitored entrances. Locking systems let you know that every point of entry into your business is closed safely and securely.

Revere: Better Home Security Just Can’t Wait

December 28, 2011 by kennyslockinc

Talk about a holiday surprise that nobody wants! It was only a few days before Christmas when Jim D’Orsi walked out of his home to find that someone had stolen all four wheels – tires, rims, and all! – from his daughter’s car that was parked in front of the house. You can read the story in the Revere Journal here. One of the factors in this outrageous crime is that the Revere police department said they were short-staffed on the night of the incident. There were only three patrols in the city on Sunday night.

If you live in Revere, what does this mean for you? The budget crisis that is reducing the number of police officers on city streets isn’t going to resolve any time soon. The tight economy and high unemployment in the region mean that more and more people are choosing desperate and illegal activities to boost their income. Stealing the wheels off a car parked 20 feet away from a home is not an amateur’s crime. If someone is willing to take on that kind of risk for tires and wheels worth only a few hundred dollars, what will they do to gain entrance to a home that could contain valuable jewelery, electronics, or cash?

It’s time to get serious about your family’s home security. If you don’t have good, strong, secure locks on every entrance to your home, it’s time to call your Revere locksmith and have locks installed. Unlocked doors and windows are prime opportunities for criminals who want access to your home or business. Talk to your Revere locksmith about home locking systems. With a home locking system, you can secure your entire home with the touch of a button. Monitoring systems add an extra level of security for your family. Having bright lights, motion-activated or static, creates an atmosphere that’s uncomfortably visible for criminals who like to operate in the dark.
