How to Make Your Emergency Exits More Secure

There is so much going on in an office and so much to maintain, and all too often, emergency exits end up at the bottom of priority lists.

Your emergency exits are designed to keep employees safe, but this doesn’t mean criminals won’t see these doors as potential entry points.

It’s essential to secure your emergency exits if you want to enhance the security of your office or commercial space.

How to Make Your Emergency Exits More Secure

  • Install a Push Bar

The first way to make your emergency exits more secure is to ensure they work as they should. Naturally, the safety of your employees is a top priority, and making sure they can get out in the event of an emergency is crucial. By installing a push bar, you not only make it easy to get out but obvious too. All that’s required is some pressure for the door to open from the inside of the building. No panic necessary.

  • Add a Lock to the Outside

While you don’t want to make it complicated for employees to be able to get out in the event of an emergency, you don’t want to make it easy for criminals to get in. For this reason, it’s recommended that you install a lock on the outside of the emergency exits of your building. This way, you need a key to get into the building from the outside, but on the inside, employees merely need to turn a knob to unlock the door.

  • Install Cameras

Another way to prevent criminals from potentially using an emergency exit as an entry point is to install cameras, which are an effective deterrent. Installing a camera above the door and in any areas leading up to the door also means you can identify criminals should they manage to get in through the emergency exit.

  • Evaluate the Door

As with any type of structure, some maintenance is required eventually. Make sure that you evaluate the integrity of your emergency exit doors at least once a year to make sure they are still structurally sound. And while you’re at it, you may also want to test any alarms that are connected to the door. In fact, some emergency exits don’t have alarms at all, so now is a good time to make sure that you have one.

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
