What Factors Can Affect the Cost of Securing Your
Home?

• A variety of factors can affect the overall cost
  of securing your home, from budget, to personal
  preferences, but in an ideal world, the more you
  can invest in securing your home, the better
  protected youll be.
• Below are some of the most common factors that
  will determine the overall cost of properly
  securing your home

3

• The type of door lock you choose
• Locks have come a long way in recent years, and
  nowadays, smart locks are a popular choice for
  many. While they undoubtedly cost more than their
  traditional, conventional counterparts (and
  thats down to the costly technology involved in
  designing and producing them), many prefer their
  convenience. That said, since smart locks are
  always going to be vulnerable to cyber-attacks,
  theres a lot to be said for traditional locks
  such as deadbolts, especially when theyre
  reinforced and professionally installed by a
  locksmith. So, you dont always have to spend a
  small fortune on locks.

• The door locks grade
• The grade of door lock system you choose
  something which is set by the America National
  Standard Institute, or ANSI can play a
  significant role in determining the cost of your
  homes security. Graded according to their
  strength to withstand both force and the test of
  time, Grade 1 locks are of a higher quality and
  cost more than Grade 2 locks. As this is the
  case, it makes sense to always try and opt for
  door locks that are a Grade 1, even though they
  may cost a little more.

5

• The cost of a locksmith to install your locks
• While it is possible to save some money by
  installing your locks yourself, theres always
  the chance that unless you really know what
  youre doing (and if you havent trained as a
  locksmith, theres every chance you wont), you
  wont install them correctly. Not only can this
  make your home vulnerable, but it can affect your
  home insurance in the event you try to make a
  claim. So, it pays to hire a licensed locksmith
  to fit the locks for you.

6

• The brand of door lock you choose
• Locks with a good reputation (as in, have been
  endorsed by experts within the industry) tend to
  be the big brands we all recognize, and as such,
  they generally cost more. Reputation is important
  though, and if you want to be able to trust the
  brand that you use and trust that the lock will
  protect your home adequately, it usually makes
  sense to invest a little more in them.

7

• While there are several factors that determine
  how much youll spend on securing your home, of
  course the amount you choose to spend, is
  entirely up to you. Locksmiths typically
  recommend products that have a good reputation
  for doing what their supposed to do protect your
  home, and by default, those products are usually
  more expensive than their less effective
  counterparts.
