Introduction to Security Assessments

Our Security Assessment Process

Our methodical approach ensures nothing is overlooked when evaluating your property's security. We begin with a comprehensive exterior inspection, examining all doors, windows, gates, and other potential entry points. Our technicians assess the quality and condition of existing locks, check for signs of tampering or forced entry attempts, and evaluate whether current hardware meets modern security standards.

During the interior security evaluation, we examine access control within your property, assess the placement and functionality of any existing security systems, and identify areas where unauthorized access could occur undetected. We evaluate master key systems, review key control protocols, and analyze traffic patterns to understand how people move through your space.

Our team then conducts a vulnerability analysis, documenting every security weakness discovered during the inspection. We prioritize risks based on severity and likelihood, providing you with a clear understanding of which issues require immediate attention and which can be addressed as part of a longer-term security improvement plan.

Finally, we deliver a detailed assessment report with actionable recommendations. This comprehensive document outlines all findings, explains the potential risks associated with each vulnerability, and provides specific solutions tailored to your security needs and budget considerations. We take time to walk you through the report, answering questions and helping you understand the best path forward.

Types of Security Assessment Services We Offer

Residential Security Assessments focus on protecting families and personal property. We evaluate all exterior doors, sliding glass doors, windows, garage access points, and outdoor security lighting. Our assessment includes recommendations for smart lock systems, deadbolt upgrades, window security bars, and surveillance camera placement to create comprehensive home protection.

Commercial Security Assessments address the unique challenges businesses face. We analyze employee access patterns, evaluate cash handling areas, assess storage and inventory security, and review after-hours protection measures. Our commercial assessments help business owners implement layered security that protects both physical assets and sensitive information.

Multi-Family Property Assessments examine security for apartment buildings, condominiums, and housing complexes. We evaluate common area access, individual unit security, mailbox protection, parking structure safety, and perimeter security to ensure residents feel safe and protected.

Post-Incident Security Reviews help property owners understand how security breaches occurred and prevent future incidents. If you've experienced a break-in, theft, or unauthorized access, our assessment identifies exactly how the breach happened and implements measures to prevent recurrence.

New Property Security Evaluations are essential when moving into a new home or business location. We assess the security measures left by previous occupants, recommend rekeying or lock replacement, and identify any vulnerabilities that should be addressed before you fully occupy the space.

Common Situations Requiring Security Assessments

Moving into a new property is one of the most common reasons people request security assessments. You never know who has copies of keys from previous owners or tenants, and you can't be certain the existing security measures are adequate. Our assessment provides peace of mind and ensures you're starting fresh with proper security protocols.

After experiencing a security breach, many property owners realize they need professional guidance to prevent future incidents. Whether you've had a break-in, experienced employee theft, or discovered unauthorized key duplication, our post-incident assessment identifies how the breach occurred and implements stronger protective measures.

Business expansions and renovations change traffic patterns and create new access points that may compromise existing security. Our assessments help businesses maintain effective security as their physical spaces evolve, ensuring new doors, windows, or office layouts don't introduce unintended vulnerabilities.

Insurance requirements sometimes mandate security assessments, particularly for commercial properties or high-value homes. Our detailed assessment reports meet insurance company standards and can help you qualify for lower premiums by demonstrating comprehensive security measures.

Regulatory compliance may require documented security assessments for certain industries. Healthcare facilities, financial institutions, and businesses handling sensitive data often need regular security evaluations to meet regulatory standards. Our assessments provide the documentation necessary for compliance purposes.

Tenant turnover in rental properties requires careful attention to security. Property managers and landlords use our assessments to ensure each new tenant receives a secure unit and that common areas remain properly protected despite regular occupant changes.

Lock Security Upgrades & Enhanced Protection

Following your security assessment, we can implement all recommended improvements using high-quality products and expert installation techniques. Our lock upgrade services include installing Grade 1 deadbolts, high-security cylinders, smart lock systems, and keyless entry solutions that dramatically improve your property's protection.

Rekeying services ensure that old keys no longer work in your locks, providing a cost-effective alternative to complete lock replacement when hardware is still in good condition. This is particularly important after moving into a new property or following employee terminations.

We also provide master key system design and implementation for businesses and multi-unit properties, creating convenient access control while maintaining security. Our systems allow you to grant different levels of access to different individuals while maintaining override capabilities for management.

Melville Locksmith offers 24-hour emergency services for situations requiring immediate attention.
