WHAT’S NEW
Costco selling Security Bollard for driveway.
Why It Is Important
With the rise in auto thefts, protecting your driveway has become increasingly crucial. Vehicles on driveways are often targeted by thieves due to the ease of access and lack of barriers. Installing security bollards can effectively deter unauthorized vehicle access and provide an extra layer of protection for your property. Costco Canada in Ontario has started selling these products.
The Details
Security bollards are sturdy, vertical posts installed to block vehicles from entering specific areas. They can be installed at the end of your driveway to prevent cars from being stolen or unauthorized vehicles from accessing your property. These bollards are typically made from steel or other strong materials, making them difficult to bypass. Some bollards are removable or retractable, offering flexibility for homeowners who may need occasional vehicle access. The installation process involves drilling into the driveway and securing the bollards with concrete, ensuring they are firmly anchored.
So What
Installing bollards on your driveway is a proactive measure to enhance home security. This simple yet effective solution can significantly reduce the risk of auto theft and unauthorized access. By investing in security bollards, you can protect your vehicles and improve the overall safety of your home. Regular maintenance and inspection of the bollards will ensure they remain in good condition and continue to provide the necessary security.
SECURITY ENVIRONTMENT
Let’s Increase our Door Security
Why It Is Important
Improving door lock security is essential to protect your home from potential break-ins. A secure door lock can delay burglars and provide peace of mind. Even small enhancements can make a significant difference in the overall security of your home.
The Details
One effective and simple way to enhance door lock security is by replacing the short screws in your door's strike plate with 3-inch screws. Most doors come with short screws that only anchor into the door frame trim. By using 3-inch screws, you ensure that they reach the wall stud behind the door frame. This significantly strengthens the strike plate and makes it much harder for someone to kick in the door. It’s a quick fix that greatly increases the door's resistance to forced entry.
So What
By taking the time to replace the short screws in your door’s strike plate with 3-inch screws, you can dramatically improve your home’s security. This small, inexpensive upgrade can provide a robust defense against break-ins, enhancing your family's safety and giving you greater peace of mind.
