Tips to Improve Your Home Security When You Are Short on Money

Smart gates, smart locks and 360 surround security cameras all represent the pinnacle of current technology for securing your home, but the annual costs all add up and not everyone is in the financial position to go down this route. At Quickly Locksmith here in Miami, we are available to help if a smart security system is what you desire, but even if it isn’t and your budget is slightly more modest, there are a range of other solutions to choose from. Here are some of our suggestions on how to improve your home’s security, even with a tight budget.

  • Make sure the door and lock match well:

Smart locks and high-end security systems definitely have their place, but they’re just not necessary for many installations. Many consumers are in the market for a good quality, solid lock to secure their front and rear doors and we’d agree with this idea. Ensuring you chose a good quality lock is important as the leading brands only require minimal ongoing maintenance. Parts are usually available cheaply and guides can be found online for the DIY-enthusiasts among-st you.

What’s important to watch out for is that the materials match each other in their strength. For example, a strong lock used with a weak door can lead to problems such as the cylinder cracking the frame from the inside which can be a costly repair. A qualified locksmith can recommend a good combination of lock and door to match any budget.

  • Other tricks:

At Quickly Locksmith we also offer commercial locksmith services in Miami and one thing that we often suggest to small business and residential customers alike is to place a small camera in plain sight. It doesn’t even really have to be wired in and working as its presence along can offer a strong deterrent to would-be thieves.

As the leading commercial locksmith service in Miami, we’ve also learned that sometimes an alarm is a good investment. Again, it doesn’t even need to be connected to an ongoing service and the sound alone can be enough to send an unwitting burglar on their way.

    TIPS

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services:

    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.
