"We wanted to get on board with the current trend in doorbell cameras. Got a quote from ADT Provider, known as Safe Street USA, and felt their offer was more than fair. We have door sensors and motion detectors inside and the doorbell camera mounted outside. Nice to feel “with the times” in home automation and security."

"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 hired them to install three exterior lights, by my front and back doors & garage. I had the fixtures, just needed someone to install. Good work at a reasonable price. I subsequently hired them to fix some wood rot by my garage door. Ivan cams in, cut out and replaced the bad pieces, caulked and repainted. Excellent job!"

"I live in a small condo building that has been the target of repeated criminal damage to property. After three cinderblocks were thrown through my windows I got the security screens installed. The screens are very aesthetic to the eye and I have received compliments on how nice they look. More importantly though, they have kept myself and my property safe. Two more cinderblocks have been thrown at the windows and caused no damage because of the screens. A week ago the criminal targeting the building set off an m80 firework at our front door and the door was destroyed. Last week an m80 was jammed into the window panel near my bedroom window and set off. One window behind the screens did get blown up but the screens remained perfectly in tact. Pieces of concrete were blown off the building from the explosion but again, no damage to the screens. These are very heavy duty and they work. Scott has been a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Midwest Security Screens to anyone looking to make their home or business more secure. When I move in the near future I will have security screens installed on my new home. Thank you for helping keep me safe!"

"I called Forest door for a quote and they came out to quote it right away. Their price was competitive. I had them quote on the door quite a while ago but I did not proceed because of cost. When I re-opened my inquiry, between them and their competition, they were able to locate the quote quickly and got the business. It took about two weeks for the door to come in and they installed it right away. The two man crew came out to my house within the one hour time frame. It took a few hours to install."

Security Doors questions, answered by experts

Leaving a light on at night probably does not deter burglars as much as we would like. While there isn’t much evidence supporting the theory that lights deter burglars, there’s not anything disproving it either. If you feel like it offers added security because a burglar thinks you’re at home, then you can set your lights to a timer so they go off and on at intervals, mimicking someone moving around inside the house at night. A better idea is to install motion sensor lights in your yard.

You likely can reset your house alarm without the code, but it depends on many factors like how it’s wired and whether or not there’s a default reset code. Most companies make bypassing a security alarm without entering your code challenging to prevent burglars from simply resetting the alarm during a break-in. Your best bet is to contact your alarm company directly to get specialized support for your situation. 

But, while you wait for support, you can disconnect it from the power source to stop the alarm from going off.

When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.

Pros

  • Home automation can help make your home more energy efficient, possibly lowering utility bills.

  • A wide range of automated solutions is available to meet your needs.

  • Centralized and remote control of different home automation systems.

Cons

  • Home automation can be costly.

  • Not all automated systems are compatible with each other.

  • Over-dependence on home automation can be problematic if systems cannot connect to the cloud.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

One significant drawback of home automation is the increased risk of cybersecurity threats. With more connected devices in our homes, there's a greater chance that hackers might try to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data or even control your devices. If you don't secure your smart gadgets properly, they can become entry points for cyberattacks, risking your privacy and safety. Moreover, technology isn't perfect. Sometimes, systems can malfunction or experience connectivity issues, disrupting your daily routines. The upfront cost of buying and installing smart devices can also be a hurdle for some people.
