The best advice for selecting a locksmith:

February 21, 2018 By Metro Admin

Metro Alarm Is Licensed Bonded and Insured“Know your locksmith before you need one.” Too many things can go wrong when you are in desperate need of a locksmith… from being overcharged, to being stuck paying for damage to your property because of shoddy workmanship, to theft.

The Minnesota Attorney General’s office has issued a warning to be wary of out-of-state businesses posing as local locksmiths, and there have been many reports of people and businesses being scammed by disreputable companies.

Water Leak Monitoring Can Minimize Losses.

February 21, 2018 By Metro Admin

Metro Alarm Provides Water Leak Monitoring

According to an analysis of The Hartford’s small business claims, water and freezing damage is the most common insurance claim for small businesses after burglary and theft.

The problem of course, is that most office buildings and commercial properties are unoccupied overnight and on weekends, allowing an undetected water leak to cause catastrophic water damage, high insurance claims, and loss of business.

What many property owners and managers don’t realize is that the cost to add water monitoring to your fire and security monitoring is relatively inexpensive. Sensors for detecting water leaks and flooding inside data centers, server rooms, commercial buildings, and other critical areas can be easily added.

Call Metro Alarm & Lock to learn more about water leak monitoring.

But nobody ever sees my back door.

November 29, 2017 By Metro Admin

But nobody ever sees my back door. It is even more important that your back door is in good shape precisely because it is used less often and doesn’t have the same inherent deterrents as your front door. Often opening onto an alley or parking lot, your back door is more vulnerable to break-ins. Now is a good time to conduct a visual inspection of your back door to make sure it closes tightly without a lot of play in the hinges or gaps that can be used to pry the door open. If your door doesn’t fit tightly in the jam, is 15-20 years old, or doesn’t lock securely, it’s time to replace it.
