Keeping your family safe should be on the top of your list of priorities. To keep your home safe, you may want to equip your home with certain detectors to warn you about potential break-ins or even imminent fires. While you probably have an alarm system in place, you should ideally equip them with the following sensors to strengthen your home's security. Make sure you hire qualified security locksmiths with expertise in fitting these sensor systems for the installation job.

Glass Break Sensors

A glass break detector is a type of sensor that detects when a glass is shattered or broken. The detector is usually connected to the doors and windows to detect the sound of broken glass. They also detect certain vibrations that accompany a glass break before sounding off the alarm. This electronic alarm is extremely useful when you have sliding glass patio doors and large glass windows throughout your home.

Motion Sensors

A motion sensor detects the movement of people or objects. Any untoward movement in the home when the alarm is active will trigger it. Qualified security locksmiths will easily be able to incorporate these motion detectors inside a home's alarm system to sound off alerts for unexpected movements. These motion sensors can also trigger the security camera for recording intrusions.  These motion sensors are widely popular in domestic and commercial applications.

Smoke Sensors

Smoke detectors have quickly become a necessity for most homes because of their efficient abilities to detect possible fires. This provides an added layer of protection for you and your family at home. These detectors will trigger when smoke is detected around them to alert you of imminent fire danger. In residential homes, batteries usually power smoke sensors. You will need to change these batteries every once in a while to keep the sensors active. Most qualified security locksmiths will be able to undertake this installation for you.

Carbon Monoxide Sensors

Carbon monoxide is a silent killer, which is virtually undetectable without special sensor technology. It occurs because of improper burning of fuels, including wood, coal, natural gas, heating oil, gasoline and propane gas. Unburned fuel fumes from water heaters, ovens, stoves, fireplaces and dryers could also cause carbon monoxide to develop in your home. Exposure to carbon monoxide can result in fatal health issues like brain damage, suffocation and poisoning. Carbon monoxide sensors will detect and alert you when this toxic gas is present in your home.  

To protect your family from all types of dangerous situations, make sure you get qualified security locksmiths to install these sensors in your home.
