"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."

"We didn’t realize how many items could be integrated into our ADT security system. But after speaking with the helpful representative on the phone for about 10 minutes, we decided to go forward with their full home automation package. Not only are the doors and windows secure, but we can control lights, the thermostat, and the garage door."

"Alem came out and fixed door rot on my front door frame. He came out the day after we made contact, expertly fixed my door and completed the job at a very fair price and with a smile on my face. Would definitely hire him again."

"Excellent. I had a last minute emergency (my dog rushed through the storm door, and tore it off the frame). Mind you, this happened on a Friday afternoon, and we were expecting company late on Saturday. I reached out to Hugo late on Friday, he responded, and was at my house on Saturday morning to attempt the repair. We thought that we would need to purchase a new storm door, but Hugo was able to shore up the install. get the door back square in the opening, and now it works like brand new!! He even filled the holes left from re-nailing the moulding back to the door frame. This is the second job he has done for us, and I recommend his company highly"

"The jobs were straight forward and the work was well done.  There was a more complicated, more expensive way and a lower cost more direct way to do the door frame job.  Mr Handyman pointed this out and assured that the simpler solution was perfectly effective.  He was right, and the door frame issue seems to be solved, happily.  This was a confidence-builder for me, and I am likely to call Mr Handyman again.  Thanks Steve!

"Juan R did a great job with our installation of a dog door. Our door had a small issue due to the design, but he went out of his way to fix the problem and get the job done. Super efficient and friendly guy."

"First Detect did a great job on the initial installation and they were able to use my existing equipment in most places, which I appreciated.  They are very responsive when I call with questions about my system. Any subsequent visit usually happens within 1 day.  I love being able to monitor my security system remotely using a smartphone app!  Billing automatically debits my credit card monthly, making it hassle free.

Security Doors questions, answered by experts

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

The biggest downside to a wireless security camera is that it's 100% reliant on Wi-Fi to capture footage at your home. Even when Wi-Fi is reliable, the range for wireless cameras may only be 200 feet or less. Drywall, brick, and other materials in your home can be enough to make your signal lag.

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.

With the popularity of DIY security cameras and video surveillance systems, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Video footage readily available

  • Reduced home insurance

  • Save on labor costs by installing security cameras yourself

  • Wireless systems are easy to move and set up

  • Monitor from your smartphone

  • Avoid false alarms

Cons

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • No direct link to authorities

  • Risk of installing the system improperly, reducing its effectiveness

To prevent false alarms, motion detectors need proper placement and settings. Start by installing them away from pets and windows where outside movement could set them off. Adjust the sensitivity settings to reduce the likelihood of it detecting minor motions. Consider using dual-tech sensors, for example passive infrared (PIR) and microwave technology, to improve accuracy and reduce false alarms. And don’t forget regular maintenance—cleaning the sensor and checking for any obstructions can go a long way in making sure your detectors run smoothly.
