Home Security Assessment Service

Expert home security assessment in Austin. Identify vulnerabilities, get cost-effective security recommendations. $95-$150 consultation. Protect your home with professional guidance.

Holistic Defense Strategy

Hidden Weaknesses You Don't See

A security assessment isn’t just about sellings locks; it’s about seeing your home through the eyes of an intruder. We identify the weak points in your perimeter and provide a roadmap to fix them—often with simple, low-cost upgrades.

Perimeter & Lighting

Analysis of sightlines, dark spots, fencing, and motion sensor coverage.

Entry Points

Testing door frame strength, deadbolt grades, and window latch security.

Hardware Quality

Identifying builder-grade hardware that gives a false sense of security.

Smart Integration

Reviewing camera angles and smart lock configuration settings.

Our Audit Process

We provide a structured, actionable report—not a sales pitch.

1

Exterior Walkthrough

We walk the perimeter to find access paths, hiding spots, and easily accessible windows.

2

Hardware Stress Test

We physically inspect locks and strike plates to ensure they are anchored to studs, not just trim.

3

Interior Vulnerability Check

We check sliding door lifts, window latches, and internal safe zones.

4

Action Plan

You get a prioritized list of fixes: Immediate (Critical), Recommended (High Value), and Optional (Enhancements).

Common Findings & Fixes

The Strike Plate Failure
80% of Austin homes have standard strike plates with 1/2-inch screws. These rip out with one kick. The fix? 3-inch screws hitting the stud. Cost: Minimal. Impact: Huge.
The Hollow Door Problem
Many side/back doors are hollow core. No lock can secure a door that breaks like cardboard. We identify these and recommend solid-core replacements or reinforcements.
Window Latch False Security
Standard window latches are for weather sealing, not security. We identify ground-floor windows that need secondary pinning or bars.

Long-Term Security Maintenance

Strategic Investment

A security assessment fee ($95-$150) is an investment that pays for itself. If you proceed with recommended upgrades, we credit the assessment fee back to you.

Don’t wait for a break-in to find your weak spots. Schedule your assessment today and take control of your home’s security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a home security assessment include?

We evaluate your home's defenses: (1) Doors (locks, strike plates, frames). (2) Windows (locks, accessibility). (3) Garage security. (4) Lighting and landscaping visibility. (5) Current alarm/camera systems. You receive a written report with prioritized recommendations, specific product suggestions, and cost estimates.

How much does it cost?

Basic assessment $95-$125. Comprehensive $125-$150. *Fee is credited toward any upgrades you book with us*, making the assessment essentially free.

What are the most common vulnerabilities?

Weak builder-grade locks (Grade 3), short strike plate screws (allowing kick-ins), hollow-core exterior doors, unlocked windows, and dark entryways.

Should I get an assessment before or after a break-in attempt?

Before is always better. Prevention is cheaper than loss. However, after an attempt, an assessment is critical to fix the entry point and prevent recurrence.

What gives the best security ROI?

1. 3-inch strike plate screws (prevents kick-ins). 2. Grade 1 deadbolts. 3. Motion sensor lighting.
