Unless you relocate after a break-in, you’ll need to rebuild the security of your workspace. In addition to rekeying, you might also want to invest in electronic keypads and surveillance systems for additional layers of protection. Here are a few ways to increase your commercial security.

How to Rebuild Commercial Security in the Wake of a Break-In

Change the Locks

As soon as your business has been victimized by a break-in, change all of the locks on the premises. Even if the perpetrator did not breach certain doors, you don’t necessarily know whether or not they may have picked up spare keys. It’s also smart to go ahead and upgrade your locks to something of higher quality, which make it more difficult for criminals to gain access to your property. 

Identify & Fortify Access Points

Prevent future break-ins by locating the vulnerable spots on your commercial property. Check all of the doors and windows for weaknesses, such as misalignment, weak locks, and rusty latches. Consider installing Medeco high security locks that have keys that cannot be duplicated without your permission. Hire a professional locksmith for extra help identifying potential access points.

Install Advanced Security Features

If you don’t have a closed circuit surveillance system, it’s a good time to install one after a break-in. Security cameras will protect you and your employees during the regular workday, since you can monitor them in real-time. You’ll also have the ability to revisit the footage in the event of criminal activity, providing police and the community with valuable identifying information.
