Unfortunately there’s no Black Friday for home security systems. But there should be. We’re grateful that technology for advanced home security systems has elevated so speedily, but so have the prices. During these climbs it’s hard to upgrade security while ensuring that you’re on the best end of the purchase. Here’s what we’d do in your shoes to capture the best sale when you’re in the market for an upgrade.
Know your product
Many new electronic advanced security systems will function for free… but on the most basic level. When you upgrade to a new electronic based lock, video or intercom system, understand that likely the best features of these locking apparatuses need monthly fees to operate fully. For instance, sending or having mobile keys with Kwikset’s Kevo costs additional money. So does an online account with Dana Lock’s electronic system. Monthly fees and use of mobile wallets are huge money makers for these companies. To get a deal on an advanced security electro-centric product, know all the working details of the product. Find out what you can afford before you make the purchase. If that matches your level of security then you’re on your way. If your security system doesn’t need to be electronic but you still need an upgrade, consult a professional and take a crack at these questions:
-
How often or have you ever needed the use of a CCTV or intercom system?
-
Do you want to digitally monitor who enters and exits your home?
-
With and without the cost, would you feel better with digital monitoring?
-
Would a lock re-keying satisfy your security needs both financially and security-wise?
-
Do you frequently have to let people into your home when you’re not there?
Give a call or send an email
When you’re searching for a deal on a lock or security upgrade, give the business a call or send them an email. Rarely people in the security locksmith industry add consistent sales for their products online. Even though most locksmith services have 24/7 support, they don’t have a person placing advertisements online for sales that regularly. Call or email a few companies and ask them for a deal with a particular product or a similar product in mind. This type of shopping around for the best deal will go lengths for you. Be certain to let them know that you’re inquiring over a competitive price and the response will be ever greater to getting you on the best end of the purchase. Also find this out:
-
When can they install the product?
-
How much does the installation cost?
-
What is the warranty and grade of the product?
-
Will this product suffice for your security needs?
Feel good about security
Purchasing a home security system is obviously about reaping the benefit of that system. But, getting a good deal begets peace of mind. Most often it means that the purchaser outdid the seller. This happens through purchasing power and in this case much improved safety. A happy consumer feels like they’ve allowed themselves to receive all these things to some volume. If you do these things you’re sure to get some kind of deal. Happy shopping and good luck!
