Security, particularly home security has not always been the issue it is today \u2013 we have all heard our parents \/grandparents tell us that back in their day everyone left their doors open and very rarely did anyone ever get burgled that was back in the 1960\u2019s and beyond \u2013 fast forward sixty years and how times have changed. The first thing most of us do we enter our property is to make sure the door is securely locked behind us \u2013 that is assuming that we had of course already unlocked it to gain entry.<\/p>\n
The question \u201cHow many times a day do you open and lock your door\u201d which seemed irrelevant n bygone years is now a fundamental requirement to personal security and of course it is a question that is dependent upon many factors \u2013 number of doors, number of occupants etc.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s assume a very basic minimum example \u2013<\/p>\n
You start the day by l unlocking and off to work you go leaving the door unlocked so your two kids and the \u201cgood lady\u201d of the house can vacate the premises. Last one out relocks, that\u2019s (unlock\/lock) that\u2019s (2x) minimum (or a lot more times if you are really safety conscious and everyone unlocks\/locks.<\/p>\n
Assuming someone returns at lunchtime (2x) minimum<\/p>\n
The return from school late afternoon early evening (2x)<\/p>\n
Then finally at night (2x)<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s fair to say 8 times a day would be an absolute minimum for a typical family of four an estimate which could be out by a factor of four if all of the occupants pf the house locked and unlocked the door when they entered or left the premises<\/p>\n
A very conservative estimate would be that we unlock\/lock our door 56 times a week<\/p>\n
Or 2912 times a year!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lock, unlock, repeat!<\/p>\n
