In light of recent burglaries at the homes of some Kansas City Chiefs players, KMBC reached out to Jade Alarm for expert advice on how to secure your home against thieves. Here are some tips to help keep your home safe:

1. Get a Security Survey: Contact your local law enforcement for a security survey, often available at no charge. This can help identify vulnerabilities in your home.
2. Install Proper Locks: Ensure your locks are robust enough to withstand attacks or attempts to kick them in. We recommend the MEDECO M4, available through us or Smallwood Locksmiths. These locks offer several layers of protection:

• Anti-pick lock
• Anti-key duplication, requiring proper authorization even if using advanced laser machines
• Anti-bump key and anti-drill features

3. Reinforce Doors: If you have wooden doors, consider installing a Jamb Brace to prevent them from being kicked in. For steel doors, use 3-point locking to prevent prying. Additionally, a lock collar can prevent the ‘coring’ of the lock cylinder. Below are some videos that showcase Jamb Brace.

3. Use a Proper Deadbolt: Ensure your deadbolt adds an extra layer of security to your doors.
4. Window Glazing Protection: Protect your windows with glazing protection to prevent easy entry through door glass.

By implementing these security measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of burglary and help keep your home safe. Stay vigilant and secure!
