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.

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!

Revere: Better Home Security Just Can’t Wait

by

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.

Who Will Keep Your Family Safe? Home Security In Revere

by

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!

Revere Security Spotlight: Increased Police Presence Applauded

by

In a recent editorial in the Revere Journal, the Journal Staff applauded the move to increase the visible police presence, especially on Broadway. You can read the entire editorial here. One of the benefits cited as a result of the increased presence is a heightened sense of security enjoyed by the elderly and local business owners.

Our elderly friends and neighbors are particularly vulnerable to the criminal element.  Older people have historically been viewed as an easy target. If you’re frail, in poor health, or simply can’t move the way you used to, the thought of facing down a home invader or would-be thief becomes especially terrifying.

If the increased police presence on Broadway reduces the amount of criminal activity targeting the elderly, that’s great news! Here are some other steps elders can use to help maintain their personal safety:

Secure Locks on Every Entrance

A simple way to improve home security for seniors is to make sure every door and window in the home locks securely.  Criminals look for easy access to their victims: an open door or window – or one with an easily forced lock! – is an invitation to them. If you(or your parents or grandparents) don’t have good, strong locks on your doors and windows, talk to your Revere locksmith.  Having locks installed is a simple step that can provide tremendous peace of mind.

Business Security Concerns

Many of today’s seniors are business owners and entrepreneurs.  When you have everything you own tied up in a business, you want to protect it. Your Revere locksmith has a range of security options available for the business owner, designed specifically to meet your needs.  Having a security system installed  helps deter criminals.
