3 Issues to think about, before getting an electronic locking system installed These days, it has become increasingly common for homeowners to start planning for an electronic locking system as soon as they buy a new home or shift to a new home; especially the ones who have bought relatively larger homes. The general perception between people is that electronic locking systems and security systems provide absolute immunity to homes, from the moment they are installed.

If you consult one of the several ​emergency locksmiths in Kingston ​– the reality might surprise you. Even the most sophisticated locking systems, that are electronically controlled, can have loopholes that can make your property security vulnerable. Wondering how? Here are three key issues you should think about, before buying an electronic locking system: 1. ​No system provides absolute immunity. Any security expert will be able to tell you this – given enough time, resources and efforts, an intruder can break into almost any home security system, even the most sophisticated ones. This is one of the key reasons why you should take the services of a ​locksmith in Wimbledon​. Traditional locks, still require more amount of time for an intruder to break through and the houses with multiple locks are the ones which are at relatively lesser risk of intrusion. 2. ​Sometimes simpler is better. It makes a lot of sense to install all the CCTVs and electronic locking systems and censors through the house. That said, pretty much anything you are trying to control using cloud, is


susceptible to hackers. These days, even the most sophisticated technology firms like Facebook and Google are facing security breaches. Amidst this, it is highly improbable, that the security of your electronic locking system will remain intact forever. Traditional locking systems on the other hand, definitely don’t require any electronic mechanisms. As a matter of fact, a traditional locking system that has been well installed by someone like the experts at Kings Security, can make the intruder feel whether it would be even worth trying to break the lock – since it will take a tremendous amount of time and efforts. 3. ​The ideal way of looking at this is somewhere in the middle. On the absolute ends, irrespective of whether you are looking at modern day electronic locking systems or whether you are looking at the traditional locking systems, if you are dependent on only one type of system, you are definitely walking into danger. The ideal way of securing your home from intruders and other unwanted guests, is to have a combination of both the types of securities. While traditional locking systems provide a great primary layer of security to the home, the new age locking systems are very good as the secondary layer. A combination of both can be very difficult to go through. Thus, before buying any fancy security device or electronic locking system for your home to secure your loved ones, have a deeper understanding of under what circumstances will it turn vulnerable. This will give you a clearer perspective on where can the possible breaches lie and help you make a better decision on how to secure your home.
