  • All About Lock Picking
    When you don't have the right key, lock picking is a great way to open just about any lock out there.
  • Gun Safes - Protection is the Key
    Before purchasing a gun safe, you should decide by answering the following questions and choose your actions accordingly.
  • The Importance of Testing and Replacing the Batteries in Your Smoke Detector
    At least once a year you should clean smoke detectors with a vacuum. To do this you should open the cover and vacuum all of the dust and debris which can affect the detection of smoke or fire. Once your smoke detector is over ten years old you should replace it with a new one right away. Every six months you should replace the batteries to keep the unit working at peak efficiency. As a reference you can write the date on a piece of tape and place it on the side of the detector.
  • Creating the Best Fire Escape Plan for Your Home
    Everyone needs a fire escape plan for their home. It is also a good idea that you conduct a fire drill at least once a month so this plan is fresh in everyone’s minds. In fact you may want to run the plan at least once a week until you are sure that everyone in the household understands the plan.
  • Smoke Detector or Heat Detector?
    The names of these detectors make their differences obvious. Smoke detectors are more sensitive when it comes to detecting smoke while heat detectors are more sensitive to any significant change in temperature. However, both detectors are the same in the sense that they detect the typical fire parameters. But this in no way means they are interchangeable.
  • Do Not Send Your Child Off to College without a Carbon Monoxide Detector
    Every home and dorm room should have at least one carbon monoxide detector installed. These detectors are easy to install and can end up saving your life or the life of your children in the event of an emergency. There are a few things that you need to consider when it comes getting a carbon monoxide detector.
  • Add More Fire Exits to Your Home with Fire Escape Ladders
    When the smoke alarm goes off every second is a life and death matter for you and your family. Many people are killed every year when they become trapped in their house due to a fire.
  • Escape Ladders for Your Family
    Fire escape ladders have saved countless lives of those who live in upstairs rooms, especially when fires break out in the middle of the night. Certain areas of a home can not be accessed during a fire due to the danger presented by both smoke and fire. It can be difficult for individuals to jump from a second story window even when their lives are at stake. A fire escape ladder provides people with a safe and quick exit from a second story window.
  • Choosing Smoke Detectors
    A smoke detector helps to give you advanced warning in the event of smoke or fire in your home. A smoke detector will let out a loud, high pitched beep to alert you and if needed allow you to escape your home before fire consumes it. Most house fires occur when people are sleeping so this is why it is important to have a smoke detector.
  • Why First Alert CO Detectors Are Important
    Having a properly working First Alert CO Detector in your home can give you early warning against carbon monoxide exposure. You will become aware of a buildup of carbon monoxide gas before the levels become lethal. This is very important since you will not otherwise be aware of the gas, especially if you are sleeping. Levels of carbon monoxide can become lethal within just a few minutes and the only way to ensure you get out of the house alive is to have advanced warning with a First Alert CO Detector.
  • What You Need to Know About Fire Escape Ladders
    There are two standard lengths when it comes to fire escape ladders for your home: fifteen and twenty five feet. For most two story homes the shorter length is fine while you will want to get the longer size if you have a bedroom on a third floor. Make sure that whatever fire escape ladder you choose, it is one that is easy to be deployed by the person who will be using it. Always consider the individual using the ladder when choosing the right one for your home. While most ladders can support at least a thousand pounds you still want to check the load limit before purchasing a fire escape ladder.
