It is where we watch our children grow up. It is a place where we find comfort and solitude. It protects our possessions, but more importantly, it protects us and our precious family members.

DID YOU KNOW...
2 out of 3 residential burglaries occur through a first floor door, yet the majority of homeowners invest more in their tennis shoes than on quality locks for their doors?
The average alarm response time (the time it takes the police to arrive) in the US is well over 10 minutes after the burglary has occurred, yet many homeowners trust an alarm for their security?
30% of assault cases and 60% of rapes occur in conjunction with a burglary/robbery, yet many homeowners claim they have nothing to protect?
2 out of 5 burglars have met the occupant at some point and have likely had access to a copy of their keys, yet the majority of homeowners use locks with absolutely no key control?
Goods are not recovered in approximately 80% of burglary cases and in 10% of cases reported, the police don't even respond to the call in person?
