Are you traveling for the holidays? Tips to secure your home

Are you traveling for the holidays? Follow these helpful safe tips to secure your home before you leave Tucson for wherever it is you choose to celebrate the holidays.

Lock Your Doors, Windows and Gates

As simple as it sounds, the easy act of locking your existing locks before you leave is often enough to make a burglar think twice before your home becomes a target for crime. Many burglaries happen merely because a door or window was left unlocked. Locking them makes it more difficult for a crook to gain access to your home. Locking gates make it more challenging for a burglar to get access to the side or back of your house where they often lurk out of sight to gain entry. If your locks are inexpensive and not overly secure, consider installing high security locks, more secure locks before you leave.

Cancel Deliveries and Put Mail on Hold

Contact the post office and any newspaper or other scheduled deliveries such as newspapers or online orders to have them put on hold and canceled while you are away. If mail and newspapers stack up outside of your home, this is a red flag to a would-be burglar that no one is home and a welcome invitation for them to steal important information from the mail even if they never enter your house. If mail or newspapers do show up unexpected, have a neighbor on alert and willing to come by and pick them up to hold them for you until you return.

Keep Up The Yard

Make sure your lawn is mowed and landscaped kept up while you are away so that the home looks lived in. Ask a friend or neighbor to help out, or hire a professional landscaping company to come and mow or do the yard work. Don’t feel as if you need to explain to the landscaper that you are not home. They won’t typically need you to be home when they come to work, and the bills can usually be handled online.

Make Sure You’re Insured

Before you leave, make sure your home and its contents is insured or that your insurance is up to date. Make an inventory of your valuable items, and take pictures for record keeping sake. Keep a record of your policy and inventory in a safe place. Also make an electronic copy of your policy that you can store on your phone or mobile device so that if your documents are stolen or a fire or flood occurs while you are away, you will still have access to your insurance records and proof of what was stolen or damaged.

Hide Valuables

Secure small items like expensive jewelry in a safe that is bolted to the wall or floor boards and out of sight. Larger items, like a television set, cannot easily be tucked away. However, be sure to draw your blinds or curtains so that these valuable items are not easily seen by a passer by through a window.

Call Forwarding

If you still have a landline in the home, a telephone that is constantly ringing or triggering an answering machine can be a red flag to a burglar that no one is home. Remedy this by having your phone calls forwarded to a cell phone while you are away.

Alarm System

An alarm system is a good deterrent for would-be criminals, and having that alarm system monitored by a service is even better. The monitoring company will typically call you first if an alarm is triggered and if you do not answer, they will immediately send police to check out your property and home.

Dog Barking

While many people get a dog for security purposes, a constantly barking dog can alert burglars that the owner is not home to tend to the pet. Never leave your dog outside unattended as this is also a red flag that the dog is alone, so the property must be unattended as well. If you can’t take your dog with you, have someone come to take care of your pet who will also act as a house sitter while you are away.

Call upon the help of a professional locksmith at Tucson Locksmith 24 to assess your locks to make sure your home is safe and secure.

Top Home Safe Brands

Home safes are designed to keep your most valuable items secure and protected from theft, so choosing from the best top home safe brands is very important. Having a home safe will not only keep your valuables secure but often gives you a break in insurance rates as well. The insurance company will want to know the qualifications on your safe which will help to determine the replacement value of your valuables. Before rushing out and buying the first safe you see, there are some helpful tips to keep in mind.

Type of Safe

Do you want to store important documents, heirloom jewelry, or are you needing to keep cash safe at a business or maybe secure a gun? Whatever it is you want to keep inside your safe, this is the first consideration in shopping for the best safe brand for your needs. Maybe you simply want a safe place to protect priceless family items from fire or flood. Keep in mind, for instance, that a safe that has good fire protection ratings may not be the best safe for your needs to protect from flood or theft and vice versa.

Safes come in different:

Sizes

Styles

Materials Used (Steel, etc.)

Theft or Fire Protection (For instance, a safe made of steel will protect from thieves, but for fire protection, you will want two thin sheet metal boxes filled with a layer of fire board insulation)

Ratings

Safes are tested and given a rating. Safes that are intended to keep items free from theft go through rigorous testing to make sure they cannot be easily cracked open. A rating of TL15, for instance, means that it took at least 15 minutes before the safe could be opened during testing.

Some of the best top home safe brands include:

First Alert is one of the best home safe brands. The First Alert 2092DF is waterproof and fire safe with a digital lock. It provides amazing protection from water and fire damage as well as theft protection. You can bolt it to your floor without interfering with the waterproof resistance or fire proof aspects. The inside space of the safe is large enough to hold several valuables with its 1.31 cubit foot storage capacity and a removable shelf. It offers pry-proof and concealed hinges with live locking door bolts. The digital keypad is back lit to make it easy to lock or open with the right code even in the dark and has an emergency override key. It is made of steel, cement and ABS plastic and designed to sustain one hour of fire exposure and able to be fully submerged in water.

SentrySafe SFW123DSB is one of the top home safe brands and models offering protection from fire with a combination lock. The water resistant feature is less reliable than the First Alert model, but still offers some amount of water resistant protection, and is large enough to hold an air-tight container to resist inside condensation for photos or other keepsakes. The safe has a pry-resistant hinge bar and bolt-down hardware. Its weight is a theft deterrent and can also be bolted to the floor. The 1.2 cubic feet of inside space makes it large enough for several home valuables. It is UL classified to survive one hour of flames and heat from a fire.

Stack-On PS-515 home safe offers an electronic lock and is a nice, budget-friendly option. It delivers protection from burglary and is a decent medium sized basic for documents, jewelry or small firearms. It is a certified home gun safe with concealed hinges and two live action steel locking bolts. It is pry resistant with a solid 9 gauge steel door and 12 gauge steel sides and has a padded bottom and shelf. The keypad is easy to read and times out after three attempts to deter crooks.

Other top home safe brands include names like Barska, Honeywell, and Paragon.

If you store your home safe inside a wall or on a floor board, be certain to bolt it down properly. Also, always keep it locked when not in use. Ultimately, when selecting from the top home safe brands, purchase the most expensive safe that fits within your budget.

Panic Bar & Fire Exit Hardware for Doors

If you own or work in a commercial building or one with heavy public traffic, you will need to meet certain qualifications for panic bar & fire exit hardware for doors. The reason for this is to make sure the occupants have a safe way to quickly exit during an emergency. Your local code requirements will determine which type of exit device is appropriate and needed for your specific needs.

Panic hardware must consist of a door-latching assembly incorporating an activating device. The activating device is usually a horizontal bar or push pad that causes the door to unlatch when a force is applied in the direction of egress travel.

In official, complicated legal terms, panic bar and fire exit hardware need to follow specific requirements that are explained as follows:

Panic Bar Hardware must:

Have a maximum unlatching force of 15 pounds and able to be opened without special effort or knowledge.
The activating portion of the releasing device must extend at least one-half the width of the door leaf.
On balanced exit doors, the activating device must be a push-pad type and may not extend more than one-half the width of the door leaf from the latch side.
The activating device must be mounted at a height greater than 34 inches but less than 48 inches above the finished floor.

The International Building Code, IBC is the Life Safety Code that requires:

Panic hardware shall be listed in accordance with UL305
Fire exit hardware shall be listed in accordance with UL 10C and UL 305
The actuating portion of the releasing device shall extend at least one-half of the door leaf width and the maximum unlatching force shall not exceed 15 pounds.
If balanced doors are used and panic hardware is required, the panic hardware shall be the push-pad type and the pad shall not extend more than one-half the width of the door measured form the latch side.

In words a bit easier to understand, the difference between panic hardware and fire exit hardware basically comes down to one allowing fast exit in an emergency and the other allow a quick exit with some limitations for non-emergency use.

Each specific device has its own purpose:

Panic hardware & Fire Exit Hardware are two different types of exit devices. The most obvious difference is the lack of mechanical dogging on a Fire Exit Device. Some internal parts may be different and the method it is secured to the door may vary.

Panic Hardware – An exit device that is used on a door that is not intended to be used as a fire door. Panic hardware allows the latches to be held retracted to create a push/pull function. Panic hardware is designed to provide building occupants fast egress in the case of an emergency. Because of its durability and ease of use, panic hardware is often installed on doors that don’t require it by code.

Fire Exit Hardware for Doors – Fire exit hardware is panic hardware that is listed for use on fire door assemblies. These doors must be labeled as a fire exit with words “Listed” and “Fire Exit Hardware” and indicate a control or serial number. An exit device that is designed to be used for both panic and fire conditions and is required to be used on doors used during an emergency evacuation in case of a fire. Fire exit hardware does not incorporate mechanical dogging. Fire exit hardware must have positive latching. The swinging fire doors must be closed and positively latched to protect exit stairways, corridors, and other areas of the building from the spread of smoke and fire. They also must self close and automatically latch after each use.

Dogging devices are not permitted because swinging fire doors are required to positively latch. A dogging device mechanically defeats the latching feature of panic hardware preventing the door from positively latching when in the closed position. Dogging devices are usually activated manually with a small wrench or tool.

Lock Bumping

When you are locked out of your home, the thought of lock bumping is probably going to cross your mind. If not, you need to know that it is a common technique used for those wanting to gain access to your home for all of the wrong reasons, to break in. Lock bumping requires a special, filed-down key and an object that can be used for blunt force. If you try it yourself when you are locked out, you risk leaving damage to your doors or locks. You’re better off calling a locksmith to get you back inside. The locksmith may actually use a bump key to open your lock, but will not typically leave damage behind. However, it is interesting to understand how lock bumping works, so you can have your locks evaluated and assess how safe and secure they really are.

Also known as the “999 Method”, lock bumping has been around for decades. To bump a lock, a special key is placed inside the keyhole and then manipulated. Lock bumping requires the use of a bump key. Bump keys can be purchased online or made by carefully filing down the right parts of the key. A bump key has a straighter edge on the prong side. They are used on spring-loaded pin stack locks. When the bump key is inserted into the keyhole, you use force to bump all the pin stacks into an open position so the lock is able to be turned.

Lock bumping takes a lot of patience and skill to ensure all of the pins are lined up in the proper position before applying force. With a bump key you may need to use a bump hammer to get it done properly. The bump hammer is smaller than a regular hammer. It is used to gently bump the key until the lock is opened.

Bumping a lock is a common technique used by would-be burglars. To ensure your locks are safe from lock bumping, take some steps as follows:

Make your home unattractive for crooks by keeping the landscaping around the doors and windows clean and trimmed. If a crook has no place to hide, he or she will move onto the next home.

Install security cameras. Successful lock bumping thieves are often so skilled in their work that they leave behind no evidence of break-in. If you have video surveillance footage of them breaking in, your insurance company will be more likely to pay the claim of damage since you have proof.

Install anti-lock bumping devices on your locks. One of the quickest and most effective devices is one that has a bar that prevents the thumb lock to turn. You may also consider installing security pins or high security locks. Ultimately, keyless deadbolt locks are among the highest security against lock bumping since there is no key to physically insert for bumping.

What is Transponder Key

Keyless entry systems or electronic key fobs for vehicles has been standard now for decades, but now there are automobiles that operate with something called a transponder key. What is transponder key and how do they work? More importantly, what do you do if you need a replacement transponder key?

What is transponder key –

The term transponder is made up of two words, “Transmitter” and “Responder”. The transponder key fob transmits a signal that is received and responded to my a receiver inside your vehicle. In newer vehicles, there is no need to insert a key into an ignition and turn the key to start the car. There is keyless electronic ways of doing this instead. As long as the transponder key is in your hand or pocket, you simply step on the brake and push the button to start the car. If you are trying to open a car door or lock them, you press the button on the key fob. They operate on a remote electronic signal and function only when charged with a battery.

The key fob for the transponder key has a small short range radio transmitter inside that communicates with the corresponding receiver inside your vehicle’s locks. When you push the button on the key fob, it sends a brief signal to the vehicle to signal whether you want to lock or unlock the doors or start the ignition. Some transponder keys are programmed to encrypt and rotate signal codes to make it more difficult for car thieves to intercept and duplicate the signal to gain access to your automobile.

Transponder Key Programming — Transponder Keys

What happens when you need a new battery in your transponder key?

You follow the steps to replace the battery which usually mean opening up the key fob, buying the proper size of battery, removing the old one, replacing it with a new one and reassembling the key fob unit. Sometimes, an extra step of reprogramming the transponder key is needed.

With the exception of classic cars or those made before electronic key technology, gone are the days when all you needed to open up a locked vehicle was a coat hanger and time to patiently jiggle the lock open. While transponder keys make a vehicle more difficult to break into or steal, when you lock yourself out of your automobile that operates with a transponder key, you need to take other measures of getting back inside.

Transponder Key Services

Key Stuck in Lock

Locks and keys are a part of everyday life, and we usually use them without any trouble. But, when something goes wrong with a lock or key, it can sometimes go terribly wrong. What could be worse than losing your keys or locking yourself out of your home, office, or car? Turning your key to lock or unlock the door only to find your key stuck in lock or worse, broken off with part of the key stuck inside.

Key cylinders are spring loaded with a series of pins that allow the cylinder to be turned when the proper key is inserted. Keys get stuck or won’t turn when the key grooves have become worn, the wrong key is inserted, it has been re-keyed improperly, screws have become loose, or there is dirt or grime preventing the key to insert properly or the tumblers from turning smoothly. Sometimes, this will cause the key to either become stuck or to break off entirely inside the lock.

Key Extraction

When your key is stuck inside the lock, the first and most important thing to do is to not panic. Think clearly, and assess the situation. There are do-it-yourself methods, but the most time efficient way to get the key out without leaving damage to your locks is to contact a professional locksmith.

Methods for extracting a key include:

Using a key extractor tool
Tapping the lock
Using a probe and pull method
Pushing the key
Icing the lock
Lubricating the lock
Using tweezers or scissors
Using a mini saw blade
Last resort is drilling

A professional who is skilled at key extractions will show up with the tools and technology needed to get the key out of the lock without damaging your locks. The skilled expert will show up and probably use a key extractor tool. This is a fast and simple way to get the key safely out in about 15 minutes. The technician will first determine whether or not the key is stuck or if the blade has broken off deep within the lock. The expert will also provide you with a spare or new key and make sure your lock is in working order or recommend a change of locks or a re keying.

Car Ignition or Trunk Key Extractions

When your key is stuck inside your ignition or trunk, a professional locksmith will be able to extract the key but with a slightly different method than the ones used on home or office door locks. An expert can usually remove your key from your car door, trunk, or ignition without leaving any damage. This requires the use of a special key extraction tool.

Preventative Steps

There are preventative steps to take to make sure your key never gets stuck in the lock. Often, a key breaks off in the lock because we are in a hurry and turn it with more force than usual. Slow down, and take your time to lock or unlock your door smoothly. As simple as it sounds, make sure you are using the right key. If you carry several keys on a key chain, this is easier to confuse one key for another than you might imagine. Another tip for preventing a key stuck in lock is to make sure your locks and keys are properly maintained by cleaning out dirt or debris and making sure they are properly lubricated. If you notice wear and tear on your lock or your key, look into having it repaired, a new key cut, or new locks installed. Even when you take preventative measures, keys can still get stuck or break.

When you find your key stuck in lock, it’s time to contact a professional locksmith who will be able to show up at your location in no time to extract your key without damaging your locks and provide you with a duplicate key, change or re-key your lock on the spot.

Master Key System

What is, and who needs, master key system?

A master key system allows one key, which is given to authorized personnel, to open more than one lock to have access to different doors within the master key system. Master key systems allow one key to open up to as many locks as you need.

Landlords, cleaning crews, hotel housekeeping staffs, schools, college campuses, and offices all benefit from using a master key system since it eliminates the need to have a huge key chain filled with keys and also allows for implementing specific security measures within the master key system.

Master key systems offer convenience, security, and affordability. The convenience allows specific keys to open doors in specified areas. Master key systems provide an added level of security to spaces that are heavily populated because it keeps staff, students, or other visitors or employees out of places where they are not authorized to be. These systems are less expensive than you may thing. They are inexpensive to install and easy and affordable to upgrade.

How Does a Master Key System Work?

So, exactly what is, and who needs, master key system? Most master key systems use a pin tumbler lock. Pin tumbler locks open when the driver pin and key pin in the pin stack are elevated above the shear line after the key is inserted and turned.

The key pins are all of varying sizes, but the driver pin is of a universal size. The key that is inserted into the lock has to have the right set of grooves to lift the key pins to the needed height.

When a pin tumbler locking system is converted to a master key system, a master wafer pin is added that goes between the driver and key pin. Once this wafer pin is inserted the pin stack has two shear lines. One shear line is for the pin stack and one is above or below the line that allows the master key to work.

Parts of a master key system include:

Change Key – The change key is also sometimes referred to as the sub-master key. It is the lowest level on a master key system. Its purpose is that it opens only one lock or one type of lock.
Master Key – The top level key in a master key system that is able to open every lock under it.
Grand Master Key (These can grow and branch of up to Great Grand Master Keys and additional layers as needed) – In more complicated systems, these are the highest level keys that will open every lock beneath it.

Pros of a Master Key System

The benefits of having one master key that opens several locks allows you convenience so as not to have to juggle several keys, and it also allows you to control who has access to specific areas.

Cons of a Master Key System

One possible downside is that the pin and tumbler locks typically used within a master key system are easier to pick than other high-security lock options. There are ways to increase your security within the system, and if you use a master key withing a building, it is a good idea to install a heavy duty secure lock on the outside of the property.

To make your master key system more secure, talk to a professional about adding elements of added security. Some secure extras include using electronic controls, installing sidebars, implementing master rings or restricted keys, employing multiple cylinders, disk detainer locks, or using separate master key systems for different work groups or locks on separate parts of the building.

When you are wondering what is, and who needs, master key system, contact a local commercial locksmith who will be able to recommend the best system for your needs. Have a master key system installed, customized to your specific needs, and maintained with the help of a knowledgeable and skilled professional locksmith.

Car Key Types

Car keys not only open your car's doors and trunk, as well as start the ignition; but, they are an important part of your vehicle's security. New and constantly changing technology has given us multiple types of automobile keys. It is important to understand the type of key you have in case something goes wrong, or you lose your key.

Traditional Car Key – These keys are made of metal and have grooves cut to match your car's ignition. Some cars have a separate key to open the doors, glove box, or trunk. The key can easily be duplicated at a local hardware store key cutting machine.

Valet Key – The valet key is specially designed to use when your car is parked by a valet. The key is able to only start your car's ignition and is unable to open the glove box or trunk. Some valet keys even restrict the amount of power the engine puts out to prevent a valet worker from taking your car for a spin.

Transponder Keys – Sometimes called a chip key, the transponder key is an electronic key that has a computer microchip and is electronically coded. The chip is protected inside a plastic encasement. The code is matched with the vehicle to allow the key to start the engine or open the car doors. The transponder key is designed to prevent theft and are difficult to duplicate. It works with an activated radio signal that is sent from the car. Some cars are designed to shut down entirely if the wrong key is used in an attempt to start the engine.

Remotes – Most cars that are manufactured today come with a remote control. These remotes allow the owner of the vehicle to lock and unlock doors, open or close tailgates or trunks, and tun on or off the car alarm. The operate by using either a radio transmitter or infrared signal to send a coded message to the receiver that is inside the vehicle's design.

Keyless Entry Systems – As the name implies, in a keyless entry system, you do not need a physical key to enter your vehicle. You unlock the car with a remote or a keypad that is located on or around the door handle. You may have a key that starts the ignition or a push button.

Rolling Codes – The rolling codes key sends a new code each time the car key is used. It differs from the transponder key in that it does not send the same code every time. Instead, each time the key is used, a separate code is sent.

If your remote or transponder key fails to work, first check the battery if it is accessible. If you suspect there is a radio interference, try using the remote control closer to your car. Some remotes have a bypass system to allow you to use the metal key that is sometimes tucked away inside the plastic toggle remote. When all else fails, or if your key is lost, it's time to contact a local locksmith who can get you back on the road again in no time.
