If you want to protect your family and your investments, you need to consider the age and effectiveness of your locks. Your home or business locks are just like any other piece of equipment or furniture. They wear out and become ineffective. Technology also improves and leads to safer, stronger, and better locks for your home. For this reason, many individuals and businesses undertake the practice of routine lock replacement. Consider the many reasons that you may want to change your locks, in order to keep what is most important to you safe.

Protect Your Family with Lock Replacement

Are your locks over ten years old? If so, you could probably open your door with a screw driver just as easy as you do with your key. Over the years, your lock components begin to wear and loosen. In addition, you are not the only one who learns about things. The older your lock is, the more probable that a thief knows exactly how to pick it in under twenty seconds. You have to keep up with technology if you want to keep your home safe. Don?t give intruders an easy access point to reach your family. Replace those old worn out locks with a new state of the art deadbolt.

Lock Replacement and the Impact on Your Insurance

If you own a business, you surely have insurance today. Did you know that your insurance policy probably states that you must take steps to deter theft and vandalism to your office and product? This means that you are expected to have a safe and secure facility that is not easy to break in to. If you have had several employees leave that carried keys, or if your locks are outdated, you could have your insurance claim denied in the event of a break in. The insurance company will look for any excuse to say that you did not practice due diligence in protecting your assets. You won?t give them the opportunity if you replace those locks with a new security system, including cameras and code pads alarms.

Your Locksmith Can Help Your Protect Your Precious Items

When it is time to get rid of those outdated and overused locks, your local locksmith can be a great help. This person can take you through a step by step analysis of your property to help you determine what type of security you need. If you own a small, two bedroom home, you may not need an alarm on every window. However, if you own a large warehouse, you may even need motion detectors to keep out intruders. Choose a local company you can trust to help you determine what will fit your budget while protecting the things that mean the most. After all, something as simple as changing out your deadbolt could mean the difference between your family being safe or being traumatized by a robbery or break in. Don?t take chances with your family or your life.

Jeep is probably one of those vehicles that have been involved in a great number of reported road accidents which will probably caused most car buyers to question the reliability of Jeep?s safety features. In fairness, to the Jeep brand almost all of the reported accidents involving Jeep vehicles are not caused by defective parts or mechanical defects not even wiring errors—no, it was nothing of that sort. Most of the accidents involving Jeep are purely caused by inappropriate driving behavior of some people.

The latest addition to the Jeep range the Patriot is equipped with a long list of safety and Security features which are added not because Jeep vehicles are weak on this regard but rather to enhance further the safeness of Jeeps. The Jeep Patriot will also keep the long tradition of the brand in terms of maintaining quality by utilizing quality Jeep components such as the Jeep fan clutch which is very important in keeping the engine cool.

Here is the very long list of safety and security features of the new Jeep Patriot:

Advanced Multi-stage Air Bags: Inflate with a force appropriate to the severity of the impact. Meet advanced air bag requirements for smaller and out-of-position occupants (standard)

All-speed Traction Control: Senses drive-wheel slip and applies individual brakes to a slipping wheel(s), and can reduce excess engine power until traction is regained (standard)

Anti-lock Brake System with Brake Traction Control: Senses and prevents wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions (standard)

Auto-reverse Sun Roof: Automatically engages and reverses the power sun roof to the open position (available)

BeltAlert: Periodically activates a chime and illuminates an icon in the instrument cluster to remind the driver to buckle up if not properly belted (standard)

Brake Assist: Applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance when the vehicle senses a panic brake condition (standard)

Brake/Park Interlock: Prevents automatic transaxle from being shifted out of Park, unless the brake pedal is applied (standard with automatic transaxle)

Child-protection Rear Door Locks: Disables the rear doors’ inside-release handles via a small lever on the door-shut face (standard)

Child Seat Anchor System [Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)]: Eases installation of compatible aftermarket child seats (standard)

Constant Force Retractors (CFR): Distribute the force of the front seat belts according to the load or force exerted on them. Force-limits the belt system and gradually releases seat-belt webbing in a controlled manner (standard)

Cross Car Impact Beam: Manages energy in a side-impact collision (standard)

Crumple Zones: Compress during an accident to absorb energy and prevent transfer of that energy to vehicle occupants (standard)

Dual-phase Steel Rails and Tunnel Reinforcements: Manage energy in a collision and allows for weight optimization through the use of high-strength steels (standard)

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM): An extension of ESP, uses the input from the ESP sensors to anticipate if the vehicle is at risk of entering a potential roll situation then reacts immediately, applying the brakes individually and modulating throttle position as needed to mitigate the roll situation (standard)

Electronic Stability Program: Enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. Provides the greatest benefit in critical driving situations, including turns, and is especially valuable when driving on mixed surface conditions such as snow, ice or gravel. If there is a discernible difference between what the driver intends through the steering and the vehicle’s path, ESP applies selective braking and throttle input to put the vehicle back onto the driver’s intended path (standard)

Energy-absorbing Steering Column: Utilizes two hydroformed coaxial tubes that can move relative to each other and allow the column to move forward for enhanced energy-absorption during a crash. The power-adjust steering column employs a calibrated bending element that deforms during column-stroke for optimal energy management (standard)

Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS): In the event of an accident, automatically turns on the interior lighting and unlocks the doors after air bag deployment, making it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach the vehicle occupants. EARS also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine (standard)

Head Restraints: Reduce head movement in the event of a collision (standard)

Height-adjustable Seat Belts: Allows occupants to raise and lower the shoulder belt, which encourages seat-belt usage by offering a more comfortable fit (standard)

HomeLink Universal Home Security System Transceiver: Stores three separate radio-frequency codes to operate garage-door openers, security gates, security lighting and other radio-controlled devices (available)

Interior Head-impact Protection: Includes interior pillars above the beltline, instrument panel, windshield and rear window headers, roof and side rail structures and shoulder-belt turning loops, specifically designed to limit head-impact forces (standard)

Knee Bolsters: Enable the air bags to work effectively by properly positioning the vehicle occupant (standard)

Remote Keyless Entry with Illuminated Entry: Locks and unlocks doors, and turns on interior lamps. If the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle-theft security alarm, the remote also arms and disarms that system (available)

Removable/Rechargeable Light-emitting Diode (LED) Flashlight: Mounted in the headliner above the cargo area, snaps out of the bezel to serve as a flashlight (available)

Structural Safety Cage: Protects occupants by managing and controlling energy in the event of an impact (standard)

Seat-belt Pretensioners: During a collision, immediately remove slack from the seat belts, thereby reducing the forward movement of the occupant’s head and torso (standard)

Sentry Key(R) Engine Immobilizer: Utilizes an engine key that has an embedded transponder with a preprogrammed security key code to shut the engine off after a few seconds if the correct key is not inserted (standard)

Side Guard Door Beams in Front and Rear Doors: Provide occupant protection during a side impact (standard)

Side Occupant Protection System: Includes side-curtain air bags with roll detection system that deploy in certain rollover situations and side-impact events. Utilizes information from multiple sensors to determine the severity of the impact (standard)

Supplemental Seat-mounted Side Air Bags: Housed in the outboard side of each front seat, offer enhanced protection of the driver and front outboard passenger in certain impacts. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor that autonomously triggers the air bag on the side where the side impact occurs (available – late availability)

Supplemental Side-curtain Air Bags: Extend protection to all outboard front- and rear-seat passengers. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor that autonomously triggers the air bag where the side impact occurs (standard)

Three-point lap Shoulder Seat Belts: Three-point lap and shoulder belt retractors incorporate a pre-tensioning feature to enhance occupant protection in an impact by managing occupant energy (standard)

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPM): Includes pressure-sensor modules integrated within the valve stems of all four road wheels that send continuous radio-frequency signals to a receiver to inform occupants when the pressure is too low (available)

UConnect(TM) Hands-free Communication System: Uses Bluetooth(R) technology to provide voice-activated wireless communication between the occupants’ compatible cell phones and the Patriot’s onboard receiver. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility (available)

Anyone who has put in many hours, or at times even weeks of effort into work, may know what its like to lose a part of that work, but the worst thing you can do is to be the cause of your own loss. When you leave your computer, lets say for a bathroom break, an emergency meeting, or even to discuss something away from your machine, it may be natural to just walk away and do what you have to do, but I know from experience that this is a habit you should engrave into your computer work ethic just the same as being polite to the CEO of your organization. Allow me to go deeper, it will make more sense by example:

A few years ago, I took a course called ‘Drafting/Design Tech I’. This was a basic CAD (Computer-Aided-Design) class where we learned how to use the software and along the way, the concepts of good CAD-work, understanding of views, and being able to draw anything we saw in any variation. It was a good experience. One of the few things my instructor told the class immediately after explaining how to log in with our user accounts was to lock our computers.

“Hold down the ‘windows’ button, and push ‘L’. This will lock your computer and protect your work.”

Now why would you want protection? Look at condoms and you’ll see why…Okay, so you won’t get AID’s if you don’t lock your computer, but those of us who didn’t heed the advice of my instructor learned the hard way to lock it up. By good nature, lots of us used to love to walk over to each other’s workstations and talk, hang out, and mess around. By the time we came back, one of several things generally happened to our computers:

1. Our directories were cleared out of any and all work we had in them (hours, or rather weeks of hours, of racking your head over something has just gone down the drain), or

2. Our current drawing file was modified (i.e. a few lines being offset, stretched and skewed, thereby throwing off all dimensions, which is especially bad when being graded on dimensions. Even worse is when somebody scales your entire project, so when you actually build a model of your project, instead of a 1/8 scale between the model and full-size, you have a 19/128ths scale. Firsthand experience sucks.)

3. All of our file names were mixed and mismatched, so when we sat down to work, we faced the unique issue of figuring out each time which of the twenty files is which. Lots of fun when you have an upcoming deadline.

4. Any other creative mischief (i.e. turning the screen by 90 degrees, making windows look retro, or even hiding parts of our drawings so they appear deleted and we appear to be redoing it when we come back)

Besides an annoyance ranging from mild all the way up to a promise of an a$s-kicking after class, locking your computer is important for security. From my experience with multiple private networks, leaving your console unattended while in full access can cause many problems for you and the network. One of your peers with lesser access rights may decide to play a joke on another and it doesn’t turn out funny to the one it was being played on. He reports it to his boss. If the ‘joke’ was in any way decided as unacceptable by the boss, guess which two guys lose their jobs? Or even better if there is a visitor from somewhere and suddenly he has access to all of the top-secret files which are sworn by all employees to only stay on facility? Let me express it in one word: espionage. A car just doesn’t sell as well when every other major car-maker sells exact knock-offs of it because some idiot in your business left the designs and assembly plans in easy access.

Three: Biometrics – This is a new form of access control systems that are available. These will grant access by using different physical traits to identify everyone that has access. If someone doesn’t have access they won’t be able to get past this system.
