Tip 1: 10%
Hiring a locksmith shouldn’t cost you and arm and a leg, and it is a wise idea to spend about 10% of the cost of what you are trying to protect. A home is a large investment, and it is a high-risk investment as well. For example – say the home you’re buying costs $1 million, then the funds you push into the safety of barred windows and security doors should be, a least, $100 000. Protecting your interests shouldn’t be the last item on your list when moving into a new home, because it protects your family, your belongings and yourself.
