Understanding Security Concerns

If you want to keep your business safe, you need to make sure that you invest in increasing the security of your business. If you are not sure what areas of your business you need to increase the security at, an enterprise physical security risk assessment by a professional security team can help you identify the areas of your business where you need to increase security. Here are a few additional ideas about how you could increase security.

Install Commercial –Grade Deadbolts

All of your exterior doors should have deadbolts in them. Deadbolts are hands down the strongest type of lock that you can put on your exterior doors. Pretty much any door that you have on your business can be upgraded to a deadbolt lock.

Make sure that you have a commercial-grade deadbolt lock installed, not a residential grade deadbolt lock. Commercial-grade deadbolt locks are stronger than residential grade deadbolt locks are are designed to withstand a greater degree of force and more uses. Commercial-grade deadbolts should have a longer life time than residential deadbolts.

Add Security Doors

If you have glass doors for your business, you need to add roll-down security doors. You can't prevent the glass from being broken, put you can protect the glass itself by adding roll down security doors. That way, when you lock up your business at night, you can pull down the steal roll-down security doors and lock them in place. This will make it much harder for someone to break into your business.

Control Your Entry Points

You can also gain greater access to your entry points. Don't give every person who works for your business a key. Eventually, you will not really know how many keys are out there. Instead, set up a keypad entrance that requires the scan of a fingerprint and a code in order for employees to gain access to your building. This will provide you with a log of who is entering your building, when they are coming and going, and will allow you to easily revoke access as well.

You can even set up your keypad to only allow employees to enter your building at certain times. This will prevent employees from entering the building outside of working hours and will give you greater control over when and who enters your business.

If you want to increase the security of your business, you can add deadbolt locks to your doors, add roll down security doors over your glass doors, and add a keypad to control the entry points to your business. You can also get a security risk assessment so you can know where else to increase security.
