Who Will Keep Your Family Safe? Home Security In Revere

December 1, 2011 by kennyslockinc

Now, we like doughnuts as much as the next person. But stories like this one, which details the conflict between a former Revere police officer and a local blogger that happened at the Revere Dunkin Donuts, kind of quell the desire to go grab a jelly filled, if you know what I mean. We don’t want that kind of excitement in our lives – and we certainly don’t want people acting badly in our homes. What are the best steps that you can take to keep your Revere home safe?

Home security begins by ensuring that all entrances to your home lock securely. This includes your front door, back door, windows, french doors, sliding doors, and garage entryways. When criminals attempt to break into a home, they look for easy, fast access. Unlocked doors and windows make it easy for people to enter your home undetected. If windows, doors, and entrances are locked securely, it becomes more difficult to enter the residence. Criminals like to move fast: they don’t want to stand around, risking detection, trying to force entry into a securely locked home. If you don’t have a home locking system, talk to your Revere locksmith. Having secure locks installed provides peace of mind, keeps your family safer, and is the first step toward enhancing your home security.

Another step that Revere homeowners can take to keep their family safe is having a home security system installed. If you own an apartment complex or rental properties, you may wish to explore the many types of locking systems available that can provide extra security for your tenants. Apartment intercom systems ensure that your tenants know who they’re talking to before they let someone into the building: great protection for Revere families.

Keeping our families safe is everyone’s top priority. And for doughnuts? There’s always the drive through!

Happy Thanksgiving From Kenny’s Lock

November 23, 2011 by kennyslockinc

Happy Holidays! Tomorrow’s the big day, and we’d like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you a Happy Thanksgiving. This is the time of year when we reflect upon what we’re grateful for. Here at Kenny’s Lock, we’re grateful to you, our friends and customers. Thank you for your support!

Holiday Home Security

A great Thanksgiving holiday means gathering with family and friends. The Thanksgiving table is piled high with all of the favorite foods. Afterwards, there’s football and Black Shopping Friday. It sounds like a lot of fun – and it is!

This time of year can also be a lot of fun for criminals, who often view holiday season as ‘easy pickings’. Breaking into a home gives a crook easy access to all of your possessions – not to mention the stacks of gifts you’ve been carefully hiding away. The kids might not find them…but a determined crook would! Give yourself the gift of home security. Home security systems provide that extra level of monitoring and support that it takes to keep your family safe in this world.

What to do when you lock your keys in the car!

Thanksgiving marks the beginning of busy season: that time of year when we’re always on the go. There are holiday parties, gift shopping, picking up all the provisions for special meals, trips to the Post Office to send parcels to loved ones…on top of our regularly packed schedule of work and family responsibilities! When we’re busy, we forget things — like taking the keys out of the car BEFORE we lock the doors.

If you’ve locked your keys in the car, call us. Kenny’s Lock is the only AAA Authorized locksmith on the South Shore with the skill and the latest technology to duplicate and generate keys to the majority of cars on the road today.

Quincy Home Security: Keeping Your Tools and Workshop Safe

November 21, 2011 by kennyslockinc

If you’re a woodworker, craftsman or just a do-it-yourselfer, you know it doesn’t take long to spend a lot of money on tools. Equipping a workshop is one of life’s greatest joys, but it’s also a significant financial investment. Tools are valuable. That’s why people steal them – like this man who stole $1,500 worth of tools from the Quincy Home Depot. Some thieves steal tools for their own use, while others sell the tools they steal for quick cash.

What can you do to make sure your tools and workshop are safe? Your Quincy locksmith shares these best practices:

Raise Your Awareness

It’s easy to take our tools and workshops for granted. We’re used to having them around – but we’re not used to thinking of tools as a quick source of ready cash. It’s sad but true that high quality tools are always a quick sale to flea markets, junk dealers, and people who don’t mind paying cash for tools that ‘just fell off the truck’. Raising your awareness that your tools are valuable and need protection is an essential first step.

Make Sure Your Tools Are Put Away When You’re Done Working

More than a few do it yourselfers have the unfortunate tendency to leave tools lying around where they last used them. If you have this habit, break it now! It’s incredibly easy for someone to just walk away with the saw you left outdoors unattended. Bring tools indoors when you’re finished with them.

Secure All Entrances To Your Home Workshop

All entrances to your home workshop should lock securely. This includes workshop doorways and windows. If your workshop has a garage door, that should lock securely. Thieves and would-be criminals look for easy access. They want to be able to get in and out of your shop fast; it only takes a few minutes to grab your tools and get away. Strong, secure home locking systems should include workshop and garage areas. If yours doesn’t, talk to your Quincy locksmith.

Imagine how you’d feel if someone took it all away from you. There is no type of business or enterprise that is immune from criminal activity. Thieves look for opportunities to make quick cash.

You can lose everything you worked so hard for in a single instant.

Boston Business Security

Every small business owner needs to have a security plan. Talk to your Boston locksmith about what can be done to keep your Boston business, restaurant, bed and breakfast, apartment complex, managed property, or other location safe and secure. There are many types of locking systems. You can choose a system that allows the public access to certain parts of your business, but keeps them safely out of other areas. Security system options secure your property and monitor for fire, criminal activity, and other emergency systems.

Small business experts recommend allocating minimum 3-5% of your annual operating budget to security costs. Boston small business security is a sensible investment, protecting your physical plant, inventory, and employees. You’ve worked hard for what you have. You don’t have to let anyone take it away from you.
