Investing in home improvement projects has many benefits. Functional space can be added to your existing property, outdated living space can be modernized, and your safety and security can be increased. The amount spent on home improvements by Americans in 2021 alone was close to $600 billion.
Home improvement projects that enhance security and also provide peace of mind while helping to protect your investment are the most beneficial. A worthwhile project that accomplishes this is the updating of interior doors. This is a simple, quick, and cost-effective project, and our tips below will help!
Your home can be made much more secure by updating the locks. Smart locks are a wise idea for interior doors. Smart locks allow you to control them conveniently from your smartphone through a security app.
You can grant access to specific people like baby and pet sitters, home contractors, and guests. Whenever a door is opened or left open, you’ll receive an immediate alert. You can even opt for geofencing that locks your doors automatically when you leave.
Consider all the areas inside your home you will be updating, whether you are replacing the entire interior doors or just updating the locks. Bedroom and bathroom doors serve primarily as a privacy function, so standard locks should work.
For children’s bedrooms and play areas, you might want to consider installing doors that don’t lock from the inside if you have young children. Children are always safe inside these rooms because these doors prevent them from getting locked inside.
Additional protection can be provided by security doors. They’re more expensive and are usually used for areas that you don’t want people to access. For example, you could guard a storage closet containing valuables, antiques, weapons, or a home office.
If you have children and plan to add a security door, make certain that you firmly close and lock the door whenever you leave the area. It is possible to get trapped inside without an access code or key, especially since these doors are heavier than standard doors, so always be cautious around children.
Smart locks have the advantage that they can be paired with security cameras, which is a helpful feature. As a result, when you receive a mobile alert that someone has walked into your home, you will be able to immediately see the entryway via the security camera footage. You can also rewind the footage as necessary. Video surveillance provided by your security cameras will give you peace of mind that you are protected and ready to act in case of a crime in your home.
