Commercial security is of utmost importance year-round, but during the holidays, there are extra considerations when businesses are closed and employees have time off. Let the professional team at Larry's Lock, Safe, & Security Center, serving the Tri-State area, handle all of your commercial security needs for a safe holiday season.

Follow these helpful tips to protect employee belongings and expensive business equipment and technology, including computers and laptops:

• Contact Your Security Company: Alert your security company of your holiday hours so they’re aware of early closing times and when employees won’t be on the premises. This will ensure that systems are properly activated during these hours.
• Update The Contact List: Update your emergency notification list so that the security company alerts the proper contacts in the event of a predicament. This should be done periodically, but it’s a good reminder at the holidays when staff is not on site.
• Double Check Systems: Test your alarm system and security cameras so that everything is working properly, the surveillance system is well positioned, and the images are clear. Additionally, make sure no holiday decorations are obstructing camera views or moving in front of motion sensors, which could cause a false alarm.

If there’s time before the holidays, invest in additional quality systems to increase your business’ security, including high-tech options, like keypad locks.
