In this blog entry, the New Orleans residential lock installation and lock repair service team here at Liberty Locksmith New Orleans will detail the essential features of security for residential complexes.
- Security Risk Assessments – This will help to improve building security and identify any potential hotels or vulnerabilities in our security system, assisting professional locksmiths in providing you custom tailored solutions that increase the security at your property.
- Security Guards – Hire security officers to make your tenants feel safer and can keep an eye on the proceedings at the entrances to your property at all times.
- Locksmiths – It’s essential to keep the number of a trustworthy and professional locksmith team on hand at all times. They can assist with emergency lockouts, rekeying, lock replacement, lock installation, and much, much more.
- Access Control Systems – these help to ensure that unauthorized people cant unlawfully enter your property. Access control systems can include electronic card systems, biometric scanning systems, or key fobs. These systems dramatically increase your building security, and even allow for a detailed log of entrances and exits to be kept by building managers.
- Door Security – Make sure that all exterior hinged doors in your property have solid cores, deadbolt locks, and peephole viewers. Consider installing auxiliary locking devices on sliding glass doors and windows for extra security. Make sure laundry room doors are also solid and can be locked from the inside with a panic bar. All doors in your apartment complex need to be able to withstand kicking and forced entry attacks. When installing deadbolt locks, make sure to consider how much force deadbolts can withstand. We recommend locks that are built to withstand lock bumping attacks.
- Window Security – Ensure that all accessible windows to your property are outfitted with a sturdy and durable lock. Consider additionally outfitting windows with window security film that sticks directly to glass and absorbs potential impacts from break-in attempts, holding glass together. We recommend pin locks on all ground floor windows.
- CCTV Systems – Install a CCTV system at all building entrances, both as a deterrent and a recourse if any unlawful entry attempts are committed. We recommend pairing CCTV systems with smart lock and access control systems.
- Lighting – We recommend installing motion sensor lighting at all entrances and exits to your building. This will ensure that burglars cannot take advantage of the darkness of night to sneakily gain access to your property. The lighting will automatically illuminate when motion is detected,scaring off potential criminals and ensuring that tenants feel safer.
