Question:
Looking for a more secure lock for the exterior doors to my house. Have looked
at Sargent, Medeco, Schlage Everest Primus, Mul-T-Lock as well as some that seem
not to be readily available in the US, like EVVA and Abloy.
I'd just like to hear some opinions on the pros and cons of each of these locks,
as well as any alternatives I may have missed. Also, if I wanted to do install
something like an Abloy Protec deadbolt (for its claimed resistance to bumping)
or something similar, how would I obtain these in the US?
Do you want to istall a home security system kit?
Answer:Contact a local alarm company for a home security/safety
evaluation... Many companies these days will do a survey
and offer a quote...
Having worked in maintenance/security for several years
before going on to college, I can say that there is no
single "brand" of alarm panel or device that is better than
any other... They all do the job when they are installed
properly...
It is the way the system is designed to fit your home and
unique security needs and therefore how it protects your
home that makes the alarm system effective... There is
no such thing as a "cookie cutter" alarm system kit that
can be used to protect your home...
Not having done any kind of residential alarm work, I am
unable to give any specific suggestions...
