I know, many books begin with all kinds of information about “the author” and his or her accomplishments and information about the company or product they want you to know all about. This book will be a little bit the same, but for very good reason. We’re talking about security here – yours, that of your loved ones, and that of your business. It’s important. I am going to skip right to the important part.
Yes, our company is more than ten-years-old. So, we’re not newcomers. Yet, we’re young enough to be state-of-the art, to stay ahead of the curve. We remember what it’s like to have only one or two clients and we treat each of our customers as if he or she is our only customer. That’s important. Therefore, within these pages, consider that each bit of information has some detail to it so that you can make informed decisions when it comes to choosing what is right for protecting your home and your business.
Today, our company works to protect over 140 individuals or companies a week. At our company, TopLock, we’ve seen pretty much everything. We’ve installed security systems in homes and businesses across a variety of industries. We provide solutions that guarantee the best protection available. These solutions are customized and individualized. Keep that in mind when you’re trying to find the right company and the right products to serve your needs.
Also keep in mind that because of our experience we can help in situations where you need help that you don’t realise is necessary.
Are you a landlord? We suggest you employ a property rental manager to help you. Why? What if you’re unavailable when a tenant loses their keys? What if an eviction needs to take place and you are out of country? Do you know the rules about that, that there are very specific actions that must take place before you can evict a tenant? This may include eliciting assistance from a solicitor, and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal often must get involved. A locksmith who offers to simply come and rekey a home after an alleged eviction who doesn’t ask the right questions may not be able to do the right job for you. A property rental manager will know where to find help.
Finally, I’ll pitch our website. Why? Because as thorough as I’ll be in this book, security measures improve every day. Check out www.toplock.net.au. While you’re there, read what our customers have to say about TopLock. Also, review our credentials. We are a member of the Master Locksmith’s Association of Australia (MLA). Membership is restricted to those who pass a rigorous entrance examination. You do not want to work with a locksmith who is not affiliated with this organisation.
To end this introduction, we are going to tell you the two goals of this book. One is, obviously, to help you feel secure. The other is to teach you something about time. Time is something that you want to spend little of when it comes to keeping your home secure. It is also something that a burglar wants to spend little time doing.
Therefore, we suggest you go to YouTube channel toplock23 and watch the informational videos there. They will show you things you can do quickly to make it tough for a burglar to break into your home. If a burglar thinks it will take a long time to rob your home, he or she will move onto the next house. That’s a fact.
Now, here’s a teaser tip for you (and there are more at the end of this book). Have a door viewer (also known as a peephole) installed in your front door. These are inexpensive and can make a big difference, especially when someone comes calling at night. Door viewers enable wide vision so you can check for loiterers who may be standing off to the side of your home.
Now that we’re done with the preview, onto the meat of the book. It is designed to be reader-friendly, yet full of facts you probably don’t know, but need to learn about.
Enjoy.
