We are Chicagolands premier window / door security screen company. As a family-owned and operated business with over 30 years of construction and design experience, we pride ourselves on providing quality service and installation you can rely on. A security alarm alone may not prevent an intruder from entering your home, taking what they can, and leaving long before police or neighbors can respond. Security screens provide a critical barrier of protection against burglars and vandals. Let us help put your mind at ease by installing our security screens and doors on your valued home or business. When compared to burglar bars and shutters our screens provide many added benefits: /They blend in with the surrounding windows. / A Single point latch system allows easy escape. / The windows can not be broken./ Our screens often improve the appearance of the window. Please note: we DO NOT install or service window bars or shutters

"The product is excellent and the workmanship was top notch."

"Chris and his team are without a double the most incredible group we've worked with during our new build. After two years of planning, we are in all the final phases with our new house. Technology can always be overwhelming but it's never been so simple! Truly, as we are getting thru the last few parts from our sound system, tv's, all the lighting and shade controls...and honestly tying the entire project into our phones - Life is Good!!! Every part of our project exceeded our expectations and realized there is no way an ABT or other sound guy could have ever done the things Trifecto did for us. We've used ABT for our last few projects, but Chris and his Team handle so many things others cannot do, and again with the Tech and support that we now could ever live without!"

Home Security Systems 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.

Yes, evaluating needs based on home size, layout, and climate.

Understanding the pros and cons of installing a home security system is the first step to deciding which one is right for you. A few of the advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Added security for your household

  • Reduced home insurance premiums

  • Many smart home integrations available

  • Security companies can monitor your home 

Cons

  • Expensive setup costs 

  • Subscription costs can add up quickly

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • Weak signal reduces the security of a wireless system

In general, daytime visibility for security cameras ranges from 10 to 70 feet. Higher-end cameras may have night vision that records 100 to 200 feet out. When shopping for any type of security camera, it's important to pay attention to focal length, resolution, and infrared technology to get an idea of the depth and crispness that will be used when capturing images.

Yes, adding ease of use and remote access via smartphones.
