RSM Lock & Safe, Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from our customers!
Welcome to our FAQ Page where you will find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions concerning home and commercial security systems.
We hope you will find this information helpful. You may also call us at (949) 589-1957 with any additional questions you may have concerning our services.
Q: Will installing a security system in my home qualify me for a discount on my homeowners insurance?
A: Depending on the type of security system you may be eligible for as much as a 20% discount on your homeowners insurance.
Q: Which is better, a wireless or hardwired security system?
A: Although hardwired systems are usually preferable, depending on the construction of your home or office a wireless system may be more economical to install. Many new home builders are installing security systems or prewiring during construction. Installing a hardwired security system in older homes, however, can be difficult and more costly. Most systems in use today employ a combination of hardwired and wireless devices.
Q: How can I increase the security of my sliding glass patio door?
A: Sliding doors, especially those located at the rear of the home, are especially vulnerable. If you have a security system you might want to include a glass break detector in addition to a contact switch. At the very least you should install locks at both the top and bottom of the sliding door to prevent the door from being lifted off its runners and removed.
Q: Why do I need to have my security system monitored?
A: Professional monitoring of your security system ensures that there will be a response any time the system is set off. Typically when your alarm is set off your monitoring company will call and ask for your security code. If no one answers when they call or if they are given the wrong code they will dispatch the local police to your location. Without monitoring your alarm siren or bell could sound indefinitely before anyone responds, giving the perpetrator ample time to disarm the system.
