Door Protection To Prevent An Unwanted Intrustion

Courtesy of www.personalsecuritysolutions.com/blog  - Personal Security 911

Have you noticed in the news over the last year that the numbers of home burglaries and home invasions have dramatically increased?  It’s true!  If you haven’t been affected by a home burglary, you may know someone who has.  It’s a tramatic experience!!

In the security plan for your home, it’s a good idea to take extra precautions to ensure all perimeter doors are  impenetrable to a home intrusion and that also includes your sliding glass doors.  This is a good idea even if you have a security system for your home. 

The following security products are excellent for adding extra strength to your perimeter and interior doors.  In my Home Invasion Prevention program, I discuss how these products can prevent a door from being kicked in due to the 20-gauge steel frame and wedging effect they offer.  These products are reasonably priced and offer additional benefits and security to homeowners.

Dual Function Door Brace

The dual function door brace is a security bar made of rugged 20-gauge steel, is adjustable, and installs easily under the door knob to provide additional security for your doors.  The door brace adjusts to most hinged doors and the cap on one end of the brace can be removed and used on sliding glass doors.  With a clean baked enamel finish, homeowners will find the door brace attractive enough to use in their home.

Another recommendation for the Door Brace is in your home’s SAFE ROOM.  This may be the master bedroom, a closet, or another room within your home that you and family members would retreat to in the event of a home invasion.  If that happened, one of the first things to do would be to press an alarm emergency panic button (if you have a security system), lock the bedroom door, and put the door brace under the knob handle to prevent the door from being opened or kicked in. If you have no alarm system, quickly call 911.

The door brace will prevent the intruder from opening the door, giving the homeowner time to alert the police or grab their personal protection, e.g., pepper spray, TASER, stun gun, or a firearm.

Other ideal uses for the Door Brace would be when you travel, staying in hotels, college dormitories, added security for a son or daughter who lives alone, and much more.

The cost of the dual function Door Brace is $15.95 and can be purchased at The Personal Security Store @:  www.thepersonalsecuritystore.com/homeprotection.

 

Door Stop Alarm

Most security products on the market today will only alert you after an intruder has entered.  This device will not only activate an alarm but will prevent unwanted intruders from entering.  If an intruder attempts to enter, the door stop alarm will sound a 125 db alarm and the unit will wedge underneath the door.  The wedge-shaped design and non-skid pad on the bottom of the door alarm will hold the door tighter the harder it is pushed.

The door stop alarm is placed on the floor below the door knob with the low end of the unit under the door.  If the door is opened it will strike the metal plate, preventing the door from being opened and the 125db alarm will activate.

The Door Stop Alarm is also equipped with a movement sensor which will activate the alarm if the unit is moved.  A sensitivity switch allows you to adjust the amount of movement required to set off the door stop alarm. 

The cost for the Door Stop Alarm is $15.00 and can be purchased at The Personal Security Store @:  www.thepersonalsecuritystore.com/alarm.

Remember, protect your home and keep your family safe!!

Self-Defense WAA - Have A Safe, Happy & Prosperous 2009!!

The new year is finally here and luckily 2008 is in the rearview mirrow!  Today we have been celebrating the first day of 2009.  I hope this day has been a positive start and your outlook for the entire year is optimistic.  This has been a day of being grateful and excited about the future.  If there are some things we did not accomplish in 2008 - both business and personal, we now have a fresh start to make them happen in 2009. 

For me that starts with setting yearly goals and a plan for my personal and business life.  By looking at what I set the year before I can see what I accomplished and what I didn’t.  Maybe the ones I didn’t aren’t really that important now.  If that’s the case, I scratch it and move on.  If I have a written set of goals, I am more likely to achieve them.  If I have to try to remember my goals, forget it!!

What are your goals for 2009? Do you have personal and home security goals?  Is one of your goals to provide better protection for your home making it a safer place for you and your family?  Have you been considering a security system for your home - but have just been procrastinating? How about your personal security and safety?  Having a plan of action to keep yourself safe whether at home, traveling, or wherever you are is an excellent goal to have.  Carry some type of personal protection if you are a "woman at risk" - whether due to your job or your domestic life.  Your personal security should be a high priority the same as your home security. 

Now is the best time to set your goals and take action.  By focusing on one goal at a time and being proactive, you can accomplish your 2009 goals.  And what a great feeling you’ll have knowing you have taken care of protecting the things that matter the most  - your family, your home, and YOU!

Good luck.  May 2009 be the best year ever for you and your family!!!
