Some of our top tips to keep your home protected this Locktober include:

1. Upgrade Your Locks
   The season of Locktober is a great reminder to inspect your door and window locks. Make sure they’re sturdy and in good condition. Consider upgrading to Mul-T-Lock locks for added security, With their wide range of lock platforms and smart locks allowing you to monitor and control your home access from anywhere.
2. Outdoor Lighting
   Darkness is a burglar’s best friend, so don’t let them lurk in the shadows! Install motion-sensor lighting around your home’s exterior, particularly near entry points, to deter unwanted visitors.  Our Smart lights come with a remote control so you can control when you want them on or off.
3. Security Cameras
   With the Dark Knights settling in early during Locktober, security cameras are your extra set of eyes. Place them at key points like doorways, driveways, and backyards. Opt for one of our Hikvision True Color CCTV solutions providing a colour image regardless of the lighting condition.
4. Smart Security Systems
   Modern security systems are more affordable than ever and can be customized to fit your home’s needs. They provide 24/7 monitoring and can send instant alerts to your phone if any suspicious activity is detected.
5. Reinforce Windows and Doors
   Don’t forget about the basics. Reinforce vulnerable entry points like sliding doors and windows. Add deadbolts, window locks, or even security bars for extra protection.

 With the dark days of #Locktober rolling in, taking the time to secure your home will give you peace of mind—and keep those would-be intruders out in the cold! Stay safe and enjoy the season.
