"It's foolish to bolt your door
with a boiled carrot!"
The truth is, just like people, some locks have more
strength than others. Some are prettier than others. Some have both beauty and brawn. And,
with today's strides in electronic security technology, some locks are actually smarter
then others!
So, whether you're selecting a lock for a freight door, kitchen door, a window or trying
to establish a whole new security program for your home or business, there are locks
available that can be customized to your needs. They may not be the cheapest initially
but, they will surely be the most cost effective over their useful life.

business you own or operate, we can help you select the proper hardware for your
business' security needs. In other words, hardware security solutions that work,
designed with your needs in mind while helping your business comply with the Federal mandates

openers.

Many business owners feel the easiest way to keep the thugs at bay is to install a
heavy-duty deadbolt, locking bar, slide bolt or chain and padlock on the doors they feel
are most vulnerable to attack.
Although the new lock just might prevent a future burglary, it could bring the business
owner the unwanted attentions of the local fire marshal who can shut down your business.
According to
NFPA 101 - which are the minimum criteria that most jurisdictions use to base
their Life Safety Codes on - putting a deadbolt, slide-bolt or other type of auxiliary -
or secondary - locking device on the selected door would most likely be forbidden.
Therefore, if there is already an "approved " locking device on the door even
though you may feel the approved lock is inadequate to do the job you want it to. By
putting another lock on the same door you may not only be a violation of your area's Life
Safety Codes ... but could net you an unwanted fine or even shut down your business!
The law, now federal,
requires that any person should be able to exit any
commercial building in an unimpeded manner (1
movement Egress). Further, that
law states that any
designated fire exit ( Virtually any door that permits egress from the building
) cannot have any lock, chain, bolt or device that requires a key or "any
specialized knowledge" to operate - "even in the dark".
