Crime on the Rise with COVID-19

• Any public panic for resources and finances will bring about a rise in crime, which seems to be maintaining or surpassing its average rate despite social distancing and the mandated lockdown. This reveals that crime is still highly active during this time period, with some businesses and vacant properties are more vulnerable than ever. Response time for emergency services has suffered due to being short-staffed after having been on the front lines as first responders in the pandemic as well as recently with rioting and city security measures.
• We recommend installing High Security Locks such as Mul-T-Lock and Medeco, which are pick, bump, and even drill resistant; products are suited for both residential and commercial applications.
• We offer emergency door and lock repair services, especially in cases such as damage done by attempted burglary or breaking and entering.
• In Washington DC, we are offering rioting repair work for any locks and doors that may have been damaged. We also board up full/center glass doors and can potentially assist with boarding up any windows onsite as well.

Social Distancing and other Protective Policies to Practice for the COVID-19 Pandemic

• Our products, hardware and tools are cleaned before and after each customer
• We have developed an over-the-phone questionnaire for screening customers to make sure they are not experiencing symptoms or have been in contact with anyone experiencing symptoms.
• Our technicians will be utilizing N95 masks as well as gloves during their visit as well as washing their hand and using hand sanitizer in between customer visits.
• Our technicians will count on various methods of disinfecting areas in between visits, such as alcohol wipes and sprays that will be used on their personal belongings to ensure there is no contamination.
• Disposable shoe protectors will also be available upon request.

Locks and Doors are in every home and business and in most cased needs to be touched by hand to operate and utilize when entering or leaving any establishment. Therefore, we can recommend installing additional door hardware such as Hands-Free Door Pulls, which can be a more cost effective solution than an Automatic Opener, that we can also install at your business or home if the infrastructure is available for it.
