"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."

"I'm ecstatic! The process began with the salesman Ray Hendricks who is one of the nicest salesmen I've met in a long time. No pushy selling. He is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. He explained their entire process to me before he left so I knew what to expect as far as time frame and installation. It only took a couple of weeks before I received a call my windows were ready for install. The day of install Trey arrived early and began removing my security screens. Rick and Ray (different Ray, not the salesman) arrived with the windows and spent the entire day taking out the old windows and installing the new windows. They placed tarps on the floor under each window they replaced. They vacuumed after they finished and left no dust or dirt anywhere. Even using a HEPA vacuum to remove whatever dust might have been in the air. They replaced all furniture that had to be moved for ease of working, nothing was left out of place. I'm disabled and need the windows to open easily. They did not leave until they had me open and close each window, ensuring my satisfaction with ease of use. Trey then installed the security screens again. When the project was completely finished they removed everything and the inside and outside of my home looked beautiful. No trash left around, no tools, no window parts or pieces left laying around. Nothing. It was hard to know they had been at my home working. Before they left they gave me the permit and paperwork required by the city for my install. A simple phone call to their office put the city inspection in process. These three men worked like a well oiled team. Polite, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They worked non-stop. What really amazed me, usually contractors use foul language throughout their work day, I never heard one bad word from any of the three men. Surprised me! Impressed me. The windows are beautiful. The install was a great experience. I've never been happier working with a contractor. Highly recommend this vendor."
"Sam went above and beyond. He suggested (without pressuring) upgrading my phone, cable and internet cabinet to be more modular and add backup. Work was professional and reasonably priced. Sam really knows his stuff; after my next phase of home improvement, I’m bringing him back to install a security system!"
"Tropic Guard installed hurricane shutters at every window of our house. They are an excellent company to work with. The customer service is outstanding and Doug is not only extremely responsive but you can 100% rely on his commitments. His team is highly professional and delivers excellent work. This is the kind of company that you want to do business with."
"Ken was prompt to assess the shutter and repaired it on the spot! Another company had told us the shutter was not repairable and we would need a whole new door. Ken was careful not to insult the previous company and repaired the shutter. Thank you."
"Sean was very respectful of my property and extremely helpful in explaining how the shutters work. He also informed me of safety measures to exit my home in case of an emergency. I would definitely hire him again!!!!! Thank you for your prompt service, Sean!!!"

"I dealt with the owner, Craig Hill, who was a very personable and knowledgeable about the styles and types of hurricane protection and their respective pros and cons. After contacting other installers, I was pleased with Craig's fair price, his promptness (only 2 weeks from my order to installation!) and he and his workers continued on the job until it was completed. There were absolutely no problems during installation, and they left the area very clean and in tip-top shape. They were very professional and I highly recommend his company and their work. I love my shutters. They are beautiful and very functional. Thanks, Craig!!!"
Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit.
Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat.
Any type of dead bolt lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it’s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it’s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability.
Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.
A security camera company will be able to advise you on where to position the cameras, ensure all of the equipment is set up properly, and do all of the installations. They’ll take factors into consideration that a non-professional might not automatically consider, like obstacles that could block a potential trespasser from the camera or how lighting may obstruct the view.
