The business world is competitive by nature, and people are always looking to get ahead. Whether it be by success and their own merit, exploiting people’s weaknesses or simply helping themselves to other people’s property. Keeping your office safe and secure is just as important as keeping your home and vehicle locked up.
Texan Lock and Key would like to relate some advice on keeping your office space, or business building secure.
1. Your office in general, no matter it be a room or a building, you need your work space protected. Sensitive files, legal documents, cash, personal belongings, computer access, all these things need to be considered when safe guarding you place of work.
– For cash or other such treasures, invest in safe. Having a safe in plain view or hidden is what you need to ensure your cash and other small valuables is kept secure when not needed. If you are already have a safe, be sure to the combination changed routinely by a professional to better keep your safe secure for longevity.
– File cabinets can come equipped with a key. If you have files that shouldn’t be seen by prying eyes, invest in a lock filing cabinet. Keeping your sensitive material not only keeps you at ease, but makes employees or customers more comfortable that any personal information is being stored securely. If your current cabinets are a hand me down so to speak, perhaps getting the filing cabinet re-keyed is better line of defense. Not knowing who might have access or how many keys are floating around could put your important files at risk.
– High security door lock systems for your door entry. Having a keyless entry by code or card access can help reduce the number of unauthorized visitors intruding in your office while you are elsewhere.
2. Locks to your office, you business building should be updated with the latest in security. Having the modern technology on your side can help prevent many misdeeds from victimizing your work space.
3. If you are really relying on defending your office, or building in general, an alarm system should be installed. Having the cries of an alarm sounding will deter most would-be criminal acts. Having an alarm system could also help get emergency personnel to your location or business.
4. Lighting is also essential to keeping your office secure. With effective lighting resources, bright lights or motion censored lights, having your establishment well lit is an excellent crime deterrent.
5. Installing a top quality CCTV will also help monitor the office or building, as well get a good view for locating any perpetrators who have tried to gain unauthorized entry.
6. If you use a laptop, be sure to get a laptop lock. These devices are more often targeted during burglary attempts, and if anyone is seeking sensitive information, that’s a resource they depend on as well. A laptop lock is similar to a bicycle lock.
