I have tested numerous home security products in my lifetime. And with all the various products in the market, it’s no surprise why so many people often feel overwhelmed and fail to actually purchase security products. Don’t make this mistake – your loved ones, and your hard earned assets, depend on this critical decision.
Knowing your budget and what (whom) you are protecting is the first step in identifying the perfect solution.
Ask yourself these questions:
What and who am I trying to protect?
What am I protecting them from?
What system(s) do I currently have in place for their protection?
How did I acquire this system?
Is my current system out-of-date / obsolete?
How many people have access to my system?
Do I trust everyone that has access to my system?
What is the worth of my assets?
How much am I willing to spend to protect them?
After answering these questions, you should have an idea of what your appropriate protective measures should be. You can now present your plan to a reputable locksmith so that they, in turn, can present you viable options that fit your budget. Request the cheapest option to fulfill your needs and have the locksmith or security professional answer why certain upgrades might be important to you. Remember, they will want to sell you a golden castle. I mean, do you really need a bank grade vault door to your master bedroom? Think about what makes sense to your needs and make the
locksmith work around your budget, ultimately a great locksmith will only sell you what you need.
At the very least, ask yourself these questions and think about it. Understand your own protection better than anyone else. Give yourself peace of mind in this uncertain world.
