Do You Worry Your Old Commercial Security System Is Failing? Update And Upgrade Today

If you own an older commercial building and you've been using an older security system for years, it may be time to invest in your company and your business and make an upgrade. You don't want your business to be at risk, and there are many new features in commercial security you'll want to take advantage of.

Talk with a commercial industrial locksmith and security professional. They will assess your business and security risks, and then develop a new system recommendation from there. Consider these things.

Upgraded Commercial System

An outdated system puts your business at risk. Look into getting an upgraded system that has these features:

• Interior and exterior video surveillance options
• Enhanced door and window locks
• Fire alarms
• Temperature and humidity alarms
• Motion detection
• Panic device options
• Flooding and water detection
• Perimeter intrusion
• Wireless monitoring and control

The more features the system has the more protected your business will be, and the sooner you will find out when there is a complication inside the building. Also, make sure that the system can be controlled from your phone or online if needed.

Keypad Locks on Important Doors

Any important interior and exterior doors on the property should have keypad locks. The exterior doors will have more robust deadbolts and protection, but even interior doors to important rooms should have a keypad entry. This is an easy way to keep people out of private spaces. You can change the codes when needed if there is a security breach or staffing change, and you don't have to worry about losing or keeping keys.

Door or Window Replacement

Old windows and doors can be a huge security risk. These are what keeps everyone on the outside from getting in, so now may be the time to consider upgrading. Windows that can't be broken easily, and that protect from exterior hazards are good ideas. Most commercial doors are hollow metal but you want a door with a high-quality steel kick plate in the middle.

Once you get the quote from the security professionals you can examine it and get more than one if needed if you want to compare the costs. Different security professionals also may have different recommendations on what type of system to get, or what the cost will be. Get quotes fast so you don't have to spend another day worrying your property or business is at risk. The more security updates you make, the more you should be able to save on commercial insurance.
