Areas of Expertise:
Security System:
A security system is a combination of devices and services which work to protect a residence or business against the threat of invasion or intrusion. Security systems sometimes serve as protection from natural disasters as well. Residential, commercial, and industrial customers alike use security systems to safeguard against theft (burglary) and property damage. Security systems are available in a range of formats, levels, and pricing packages. They may involve professional installation or DIY installation. Whether these systems are intended to protect against a single incident or high threat of invasion at all times, they may involve a number of components, such as video cameras, alarm systems, smart home automation, notifications, smart locks, smart sensors, and more.
Locksmith:
A locksmith is a service professional who provides key and lock services. For homeowners and business owners, a locksmith can break a lock, replace locks, duplicate keys, unlock mailboxes, and make replacement keys. Locksmiths are trained professionals who can offer lock-related services without breaking or damaging locks or doors. Some locksmiths may be able to offer the same services for smart locks as well. While breaking into certain locks may mean replacing the lock, this route is still often less costly than alternative entry methods. Security system providers may offer locksmith-related services under plan warranties, which helps users avoid destroying equipment.
Security Camera Installation:
Security cameras, also called CCTV, are used within security systems to help users monitor a certain area. Unlike surveillance cameras, video cameras send signals to a monitor at a specific location and don’t necessarily connect to an IP network. Security cameras serve to help thwart home crime attempts, including theft. Cameras may be placed in plain sight or hidden, depending on security system needs. A variety of security system cameras are available, ranging from video doorbell cameras to a number of different indoor and outdoor cameras, and cameras may involve self-monitoring or professional monitoring. Installation of security cameras depends on user needs and the security system provider, but either DIY installation or professional installation may be available. Professional installation helps avoid wiring issues and other issues that may arise during DIY installation.
Services Offered:
Emergency Locksmith Services:
Not all professional locksmiths provide 24-hour services, but this is a service which can come in handy at all hours of the day. Some providers offer emergency locksmith services within security system packages to ensure homeowners or business owners have a backup plan if for any reason they are locked out of their residence or place of business. Individual contractors and professional locksmiths may also provide 24-hour lock services.
Intercom Installation:
An Intercom is a stand-alone device that allows a one-way or two-way communication. It is a voice communication system used within buildings, homes, apartments, and businesses, functioning independently of the telephone network. Intercoms allow users to identify visitors, enhancing their security systems, generally mounted on a wall, incorporating connections to loudspeaker systems, CCTV, telephones, walkie talkies, and many other intercom systems. Different types of intercom devices will vary according to the nature of the installation and service needed, such as audio and video intercoms, IP intercoms, and custom lobby panels. Intercom systems are more commonly used in residential apartments and office buildings, for a more convenient way of identifying visitors. Professional installers may also provide guidance with intercom systems for the home or building automation. Expert technicians deliver intercom services, such as repairs, new installations, and can even engineer solutions for a more customized communication system.
Access Control Services:
Access control systems are the main hub of security systems, providing access to or denial of entry to a given area. Access control is the combination of hardware and software in a security system that helps secure points of entry. These systems may include a security system’s control panel (its hub or computer), the system reader, and its smart locks/electric locks — as well as the components of these system parts. Typically, these systems require professional installation due to the wiring and connection requirements.
Safe Installation Services:
A security safe, also called a home safe, lockbox, or simply a safe, may hold a homeowner’s or business owner’s valuables, from birth certificates, wills, and vehicle titles, to business documents, such as licensing copies. Some people opt for standalone safes, while others elect security safes that are larger and heavier. Such safes may require professional installation to ensure proper setup and security. Many providers offer safe installation services to ensure proper setup.
Keypad Installation:
Certified locksmiths can install countless types of keypad locks, such as digital keypads for home or offices, or combination keypad locks. These professionals also repair or replace malfunctioning keypad locks, connect new ones to an existing security system, and change codes to gain access. Nowadays, home security systems come with a keypad for quick access to the security systems. Alarm system keypads or touchpads are the primary interfaces between the user and the alarm system, used mainly to arm and disarm the system, or check its status. Keypads are usually installed near entry doors or a central location inside a home or office. Very few security keypads are handheld and come with a DIY installation. In most of the cases, security keypads use a 4-wire connection to the main alarm panel and require professional installation. Licensed locksmiths have the proper skills and equipment needed to install these keypads or touchpads, for straightforward access.
