4 Keys to Keeping Your Home and Valuables Safe

When it comes to ensuring that your future is safe, the first thing that likely comes to mind is financial security. We all want to make sure we are making the right financial decisions for our future, to retirement and beyond. Part of financial security is in diversifying your assets, as financial planners will tell you.

And when it comes to another aspect of creating a secure future — literally securing the things in your life — diversity is again important.

At All Secure Lock & Security, we like to stress the importance of having a security portfolio, so to speak. There are four parts to creating a diverse security portfolio that protects your family, home and valuables: locking, arming, watching and securing. So what does this mean?

Locking: Simply put, locks are not enough. However, locks are your first line of defense and are an absolute necessity in protecting anything you care about, from your home, to your firearm to your irreplaceable family heirlooms.

Arming: Locks don’t work if they aren’t locked. This might seem like it goes without saying, but unfortunately, too many homes are broken into and too many valuables are stolen simply because it was easy enough for a thief to get them — thanks to locks being unlocked.

And like locks, security systems can be invaluable, but they have to be armed. Fortunately for people in the Denver area, All Secure Lock & Security makes this easy. We offer home and business security systems that can be armed through a wall panel as you head out the door, or even from your phone. The latter can be especially handy if you want to let someone into your house when you aren’t there, but don’t want them to have a key. These systems can also be sophisticated enough to turn on lights, raise blinds and sense motion or glass breaking.

Watching: Yes, we are lucky to live in a time when we can be thousands of miles away and video chat with a loved one, but we are also lucky to live in a time when we can be 2 or 2,000 miles away from home and watch what’s happening there. Placing cameras in your home and around the perimeter lets you and law enforcement get a good sense of what’s going on and swiftly act accordingly. Whether a nanny cam in a teddy bear or clock makes sense for you, or a motion sensor camera over each entrance to your home is what you need, we can set that up for you. Not only are in-home cameras great for checking in to make sure everything is OK, but they also come in handy when you just want to see whether a package was left.

Securing: Hiding your valuables is not good enough. Burglars will look under mattresses and in sock drawers — you are not being sneaky by hiding things there. And in reality, if someone is going to ransack your home, there’s a good chance they’ll find your other hiding spots too. It’s important to have a good safe in your home — one that bolts to the ground. We offer safes in a wide variety of sizes that have great fire ratings of 30 to 120 minutes.

Now when we say you need to get a safe, we mean a good one. Don’t pick one up on your next trip to a big box store. Those tend to have plastic inside and be made of pop metal. Those can be broken into, and it’s not hard to do. Trust us. We sell safes that are made of at least ½-inch-thick steel with poured concrete inside and are pry-resistant. All Secure Lock & Security is proud to sell American Security safes that have a lifetime warranty against for attacks and fires so you can trust the security of your most valuable items.
