Seniors and Home Security with Lockking Security Lock
If you're anything like me, any changes in routine can be unsettling. From a change in a doctors appointment, to an unexpected visit from my grand kids.
I guess as you get older, your ‘Life Box’ seems to become smaller. It feels more secure when life goes along at the regular daily pace where you have control.
Your home is part of your Life Box. Changes seem larger as we age. Most changes are fine, of course, but their effects are greater than they would have been, say, twenty years ago.
The most noticeable changes are your home, car and family. Take your car for instance. You don’t want anyone breaking into it so you are more cautious where you park, locking it faithfully and perhaps setting an alarm.
The same concerns should apply to your home. Knowing where all the vulnerable places are in your home and safe guarding them in what ever means you can.
You lock your door every time you leave or return. You check all the doors at night before you go to bed. You put sticks in the windows to prevent them from being opened from the outside. This may seem a little paranoid, but it's basic common sense if you don't want home intrusion.
You can have an alarm system installed, but you have to remember to turn it on and off and it can be costly. Signs outside your home indicating that you have an alarm system. Or, possibly a sign indicating you have an unfriendly dog. Home security can bring a Peace of Mind, particularly in hard economic times.
If you put sticks in your Windows, that works fine, as they are easy to move, but they can be a problem if you forget to put them in place.
Your doors have their own security with a lock in the handle and a dead bolt lock. So now you have your Window and Doors covered, there's one main door left except your garage door that is your sliding glass door.
Not every home have them, but most do have a sliding glass door. Most sliding glass doors have very weak locks. They can be bumped or “rocked” from the outside and become unlatched. Of course, high end doors have better locks on them, but there's always a way to unlatch them. If you have a sliding glass door you might want to raise the sliding door help prevent a burglar from lifting it off the track and accessing your home.
This is done simply by screwing in or out the adjustment screws at the bottom of the door.
After making this adjustment, you will want to install a
Lockking Sliding Glass Door Lock. The Locks are designed to be Easy to Install and Easy to Use. They are attached to the sliding door and the side jamb.
With
back problems prohibiting bending up and down, or perhaps opening and closing your doors from a wheel chair, you’ll want to choose something that aids you in the task.
The
Lock is Easy to Install, and, Easy to Use.
Lift Up to Unlock and Push Down to Lock.
The
Lockking Sliding Glass Lock can be installed at different heights on your sliding glass door.
In the Locked and Unlocked Position, it is Visible - so you can see that you remembered to lock your door.
