Pre Plan!

 Even if you choose not to have AGP Lock & Security, LLC install a Burglary/Fire system in your home.

 With our experience in the Public safety field we offer the following

 suggestions REMEMBER PRE PLANNING SAVES LIFE'S.

1. Make sure all family members know what to do in the event of a fire. Draw a floor plan with at least two ways of escaping every room. Make a drawing for each floor. Dimensions do not need to be correct. Make sure the plan shows important details: stairs, hallways and windows that can be used as fire escape routes. If you have a second floor, invest in a fire ladder that can be deployed from the window.

2. Test windows and doors—do they open easy enough? Are they wide enough or tall enough?

3. Choose a safe meeting place outside the house.

4. Practice alerting other members. It is a good idea to keep a bell and flashlight in each bedroom.

5. Practice evacuating the building blindfolded. In a real fire situation, the amount of smoke generated by a fire most likely will make it difficult to see.

6. Practice staying low to the ground when escaping.

7. Install smoke detectors and maintain smoke detectors check once a month and change the batteries at least once a year. Smoke detectors sense abnormal amounts of smoke or invisible combustion gases in the air. They can detect both smoldering and burning fires. At least one smoke detector should be installed on every level of a structure. Purchase smoke detectors labeled by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL)

10 Quick Security Tips To Protecting Your Home

1. Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened. An open window or door is an open invitation for burglars. Thieves are also quick to spot weak locks that may be easily forced open. Doors should have deadbolt locks with a one inch throw and a reinforced strike plate with three inch screws. All windows should have window locks.

2.  Secure sliding glass doors. Place a metal rod or piece of plywood in the track and install vertical bolts. These will help prevent burglars from forcing the door open or lifting it off the track.

3. Always lock the door to an attached garage. Don’t rely on your automatic garage door opener for security.

4. Create the illusion that you are home by using timers on lights, radios and TV’s. Making your residence appear occupied, even when no one is home, will deter criminals.

5. Keep the perimeter of your home well lighted. Installing low voltage outdoor lighting is a cost-effective way to discourage intruders, as well as highlight a house.

6. Never leave clues that you are away on a trip. Have a trusted neighbor collect mail and news papers while you are away so delivered items do not accumulate. You can also ask a neighbor to park in your driveway or parking place to make it appear that you are present.

7. Keep some shades and blinds up and curtains open to maintain a normal, everyday appearance in your residence.

8. Never leave a message on your telephone answering machine telling people that you are away from home. A message that you will return at a certain time leaves your home vulnerable in the interim.

9. Keep shrubbery trimmed away from entrances and walkways. While large, ornate hedges may be beautiful, they also provide a hiding place for burglars who need only a minute to break in through a window or door.

10. Organize a community watch program to protect your neighborhood. An alert community is a safe community.
