A lock is only as good as the door it's on. Inspect your frames for weakness and add mechanical reinforcement to prevent forced entry through sliding or swinging doors.
Step 2
Step 2: Early Warning Systems
Smart security starts at the perimeter. Use long-range motion sensors to get alerts before a visitor reaches your lock. This gives you time to verify and respond.
