Revere Security Spotlight: Telephone Entry Systems

by

If you own rental property or commercial property in Revere, MA, you know that security is a top concern.  Protecting your business investment is a top priority, as in ensuring the safety and security of the people who rent apartments from you. As your Revere locksmith, we know that the key to great apartment building security is restricting access – keeping the bad guys out! – while making it easy for your tenants to let their guests in for a visit or delivery.

Revere Security: The Telephone Entry System

A telephone entry system is a simple, efficient, easy to use security system for apartment buildings.  When your tenant has a visitor, all the visitor has to do is select the tenant they’re coming to see from the easy-to-read LCD crystal display.  The telephone entry system safely and securely calls your tenant on their home or mobile phone.

If there’s no answer? No entrance. Your property remains safe and secure – and your tenants know their homes are safe, even when they’re not home!

If the tenant answers, they can decide if they want to grant access or not.  If they do want to see their visitor, a simple push of a button on their phone grants access: the door is unlocked, and their visitor can come right up the stairs.  If they don’t want to see the visitor, they don’t have to. The door will stay locked!

The telephone entry system is also a valuable tool for off-site property managers. The telephone entry system can be programmed to reach you on your cell phone, allowing you to offer your tenants immediate responsiveness.

Quincy: The Search for a Braintree Burgular

by

According to this story in the Patriot Ledger, police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a Braintree man believed to be involved in a number of local burglaries. Jamie Johnson is listed as the owner of a car found full of stolen goods.

What steps can you take to make sure your possessions don’t wind up stolen and in someone’s car? There are a number of Quincy home security steps you can take to keep yourself, your family, and your possessions safe, according to your Quincy locksmith.

First, practice being aware of your surroundings.  Many times, when we get home after a long day at work, we’re tired and not necessarily in the mood to pay attention. However, something as simple as noticing a strange car parked nearby or unusual activity at a neighbor’s house can serve as your first clue that criminal activity may be occuring.

Lighting is a critical consideration.  Criminals like to operate in the dark, where their illegal activity can go unobserved.  Talk to your Quincy locksmith or qualified electrician about your options in installing security lighting around your home.  Security lighting can be effective without being ugly!

Every door, window, or entrance to your home should close securely with a strong lock.  If you don’t have good locks in your home, your Quincy locksmith can install them for you.  If you need new keys for your locks, or need locks re-keyed for greater security, your Quincy locksmith can do that too!

Home locking systems are another way to keep your home, family, and possessions safe. Your Quincy locksmith can help you choose the home locking system that is right for your needs, install the home locking system, and be there to make sure your home locking system works right! Keeping our family safe is the top priority for every Quincy homeowner.

Boston Home Security: Protecting Your Family From Violent Crime and Home Invasions

by

If you’re a parent, you may have found the headlines recently to be more than you can bear. It seems as if every day, we’re subjected to a new, horrible story where young, innocent children are killed by predatory criminals.  Time magazine tells us the tale of Alyssa Bustamante, who stabbed and strangled nine year old Elizabeth Olten, to “see what it felt like”.  In Florida, Jared Harrell admitted to killing seven year old Somer Thompson, as well as molesting other area children, in exchange for a sentence of life without parole.  When we, as parents, are confronted by the existence of evil people like Bustamante and Harrell, we must wonder how we can keep our children safe?

Boston Home Security

Child safety experts agree: the must be individual and community efforts made to make the world a safer place for children. In this article, we talked to your Boston locksmith about steps you can take to make your home more safe and secure. It’s a sad but true fact that in many instances, the perpetrators of violence against children are people who knew and had access to the child.  This means that as parents, we have to be especially vigilant about who we associate with, and who we allow our children to associate with. However, nothing is foolproof – even the most aware parents have been surprised by treachery from trusted family members, friends, and neighbors.

One way to help keep your child safe is to restrict access to your home. The days when we could leave our doors open are long gone. It’s essential to have strong locks on every entrance point to your home, and to use those locks.  Criminals who are out to snatch a child have to move fast: secure door locks and window locks slow things down, increasing the chances of detection and capture. If you don’t have strong locks in your home, talk to your Boston locksmith. They’ll install new locks, or a home locking system, which provides whole home security you can control with the push of a button!

 

Revere: What Would Suffolk Downs Casino Mean to Your Home Security?

by

Make no mistake.  It’s absolutely not a done deal – not set in stone, not cast in concrete, not even semi-firm Jell-O, really, – that there will be a casino in Suffolk Downs.  There’s still a lot of planning and paperwork to be done; agreements to be made. votes taken and counted – this article in the Revere Advocate shines a spotlight on some of the introductory process. But one thing is clear.  There’s going to be a casino somewhere in Massachusetts.  What does the presence of a casino mean, in terms of home security, for nearby residents and homeowners?

According to a study published in the journal Crime and Delinquency entitled Does the Presence of Casinos Increase Crime? there is no one clear answer to that question.  By studying crime rates in six communities where casinos had recently been introduced, researchers found that in some communities, crime rates went up after the casino was opened.  In other communities, the crime rate remained stable.  In other communities, a new casino opening was followed by a decrease in criminal activity.

There is still clearly research to be done on this topic.  What isn’t open for dispute, however, is the need for Revere home security.  Having securely locking doors and windows helps deter criminal activity. Home locking systems provide an extra level of safety and security for your family. Being proactive about home security means talking with your Revere locksmith about the steps you can take to keep your home safer.

Revere business owners also have security concerns.  What will the presence of the Suffolk Downs casino mean for business owners in Revere? There are many potential positives: increased traffic can lead to increased customers.  Your Revere Locksmith is your source for information on how to better protect your business from all criminal activity.  Don’t trust your livelihood to Lady Luck!

Quincy Carjacking: Is Scituate Responsible For Rising Crime Rates?

by

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!
