Home Security Assessment
Free - $75 | 30-60 minutes | Available 24/7
Triton Locksmith walk through your property and evaluate every lock, door, window, and entry point. We tell you what's strong, what's weak, and exactly what to fix. Basic assessments are free when combined with a service call. Standalone assessments run up to $75.
What Do We Check During a Security Assessment?
Every door lock, window latch, sliding door, gate, and garage entry. We test each lock's grade and condition. We check strike plate screw length. We look at door frame integrity. We evaluate window locks on ground-floor windows. We check if your sliding doors have security bars.
We also look at less obvious stuff. Is the hinges' pin side exposed on any exterior doors (meaning the hinges could be popped from outside)? Are there any doors with glass panels next to a thumb-turn deadbolt (easy to break and reach)? Is your garage door's emergency release accessible from outside?
What Do You Get After the Assessment?
A prioritized list of recommendations with estimated costs. Not a sales pitch. We rank every finding by how much risk it actually creates and how much it costs to fix. The $15 security bar for your sliding door might matter more than the $300 high-security deadbolt.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 66% of residential burglaries are preventable with basic security improvements. Our assessment tells you which improvements give you the most protection per dollar.
Common Questions
Is the security assessment really free?
It's free when combined with any service call (rekeying, lock install, lockout, etc.). If you just want the assessment by itself without any other service, it's $75. Either way, there's zero obligation to buy anything.
How long does the assessment take?
30-60 minutes depending on the size of your home. A typical 3-bedroom house takes about 40 minutes. We check every exterior entry point plus interior doors that need locks (home office, gun room, etc.).
Will you try to upsell me on expensive locks?
No. We'll tell you what you need and give you options at different price points. If your $40 Schlage deadbolt is doing its job, we'll say so. We don't replace things that work.
Do you provide a written report?
Yes. You get a written summary of every finding with our recommendation, the security risk level, and the estimated cost to fix. Keep it for reference or share it with your insurance company.
Can the assessment lower my home insurance?
Possibly. Some insurance companies offer discounts for documented security improvements. The written report from our assessment gives your agent something concrete to review.
