A Door-closer Designed for Versatility

While many of today’s security solutions have gone “high tech,” relatively simple hardware such as door closers are still a vital part of the equation. Of course, even with door closers, finding the right replacement units can be a challenge. Different doors require different closers, and demand different capabilities, and there a lot of different doors out there.

But thanks to the versatile Design Hardware 316R Series Replacement Door Closer, they don’t have to. This versatile system relies on a patented mounting plate with 24 pre-drilled holes set in a variety of patterns to allow it to be used on at least 32 types of doors, regardless of whether they’re “right-handed” or “left-handed”—and without having to do extra drilling. Yet the 316R is still robust enough to meet important ANSI and UL standards, including critical requirements of the American Disabilities Act.

The result is a win-win for the locksmith and the customer, both of whom benefit from one piece of hardware that’s capable of meeting many different demands. Of course, delivering these kinds of results is what we do at Bill’s Mobile Lock, whether its for commercial or residential security.

Does Your Commercial Security System Have the Right Credentials?

At this stage, using ID cards/badges as “keys” has become standard operating procedure in a wide range of non-residential applications, including office settings, municipal buildings, schools and colleges, and more. The problem is, relying on these security solutions, which were once on the cutting edge of technology, has become so standard that unauthorized users now have little trouble defeating them.

So it’s a good thing that top names in security like HID Global and Schlage—and Bill’s Mobile Lock—can offer the latest advances in credential-based security to make things easier on everyone—except for the bad guys.

These new systems can embed multiple security resources in a single card/badge to add multiple levels of security protection at a highly affordable cost. In addition, many of these new systems are updatable, allowing them to continue to stay ahead of the game as new security technologies continue to evolve.

Increase Your VideoIQ!

When most people think of “security,” they think about physically controlling access to a certain location, whether it’s a business, a residence or even a vehicle. But in some cases, an additional layer of protection—video surveillance—is needed. And that’s when you need a comprehensive security provider like Bill’s Mobile Lock.

We stay on the cutting-edge of the industry by offering video surveillance systems from top names like VideoIQ, a leader in the marketplace. VideoIQ’s newest lineup of products delivers advantages including HD cameras, distributed storage leveraging a variety of solid-state hard-drive solutions, compatibility with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi networks, and a full suite of camera software with high-end analytics, yet they showcase high-value pricing, too.

Accessing the Advantages of Electromechanical Locks

One of the primary uses of home and business security is to control access, whether it's access to the inside of a building, or a specific room in that building, or a specific storage resource in that room. And while one of the primary means of achieving this is with traditional, key-based mechanical locks, they're not always the best choice. The versatility of electromechanical locks, which deliver a wide variety of access solutions, can far outweigh any difference in cost.

Think about it: A standard mechanical lock will allow access to anyone with a key, at any time, without keeping a record of who may be using it. Then, revoking access means the potential hassle of trying to get back the physical key itself or getting a new lock—or locks. But with an electromechanical lock, controlling access in these kinds of scenarios, as well as many others, just takes a few minutes of reprogramming.

What's more complicated, though, is knowing which security solution is the right one for your particular needs. But Bill's Mobile Lock is here to help. Our family-run business has been meeting security needs in the Detroit metro area for decades, building up a strong reputation for honesty and quality.

Keyless Security Comes Home

At Bill's Mobile Lock, we pride ourselves on staying current with the latest security technologies, and that includes a new innovation from an old and established name: Master Lock.

The company recently introduced a new electronic door lock designed specifically for home use. Now, you often see this kind of thing on cars or in commercial settings, but it's relatively new for residences, and features a 10-digit weather-resistant keypad that retains the look of a standard key-operated door lock. For added peace-of-mind, homeowners can use the NightWatch function to prevent the lock from being opened from the outside even with the right key or pass code.

And it also relies on an advanced key cylinder with Master Lock's BumpStop technology as a backup system.

To find out more about this innovative new home-security solution—and whether it's right for your house—contact us today at 734-421-1230 or visit us online at www.billsmobilelock.net.

Standalone Electromechanical Locks: When Was the Last Time You Changed the Batteries?

Think of them the same way you would of as a home fire-detector: If you''re using standalone electromechanical locks, you should change the batteries once a year. The only thing is, there's no big marketing campaign to remind folks about these locks, so it can be easy to forget. And if they're not part of a networked security solution, you might never know your protection has been compromised—until it's too late.

You could take the matter into your own hands, but remember: As opposed to those fire detectors, it's not always a simple matter to change the batteries in an electromechanical lock. Gaining access to the batteries can be a challenge for a non-professional, while the batteries themselves may not be on sale at the local corner store.

Why not call Bill's Mobile Lock today so our honest and experienced pros can make sure your batteries—and security—are both up-to-date? We can service a wide range of standalone electromechanical locks from a wide range of manufacturers, and we can even set you up with an annual schedule for ongoing security maintenance.

A Stealthy Approach to Security for Modular Homes and RVs

At Bill's Mobile Lock, we can provide home security solutions regardless of what type of home you have—and that includes modular homes and RVs, too.

For example, in these kinds of settings, or other locations that have a wooden sub-floor, we can recommend in-the-floor safes like those made by the Stealth Safe Company. The firm's high-quality units are made specifically for these applications, mounting into the floor with flanges made of flexible galvanized metal. Covered with a metal lid, an installed safe presents a surface that's flush with the floor and easily covered by carpeting, a rug, furniture or other items.

Stealth Safe makes in-the-floor safes in different sizes to meet different customers' requirements, and we can work with you to ensure you get the right one for your needs.

The Power of the Padlock

Even in today's digital world, one of the most important—and cost-effective—security resources is the humble padlock. The latest models can serve in a wide range of different uses; for example, as recently detailed by the experts from The National Locksmith, notable current padlocks include:

The ABUS 83 WP, which offers both protection from extreme weather conditions and the convenience of large-format, interchangeable-core technology.

Corrosive-resistant, stainless-steel-bodied locks from American Lock, developed for use in heavy-duty industrial and marine environments.

The innovative Mul-T-Lock, combining the best features of a padlock and a hasp lock, and featuring a high-security cylinder for enhanced pick, drill and bump resistance.

And at Bill's Mobile Lock, not only can we help you with everyday home-security needs, but we can also do the same for specialized applications that need padlocks like these.

Door Closers Go Electric

Commercial door closers—those mechanisms that pull an opened door shut once you release it—are available in numerous styles for numerous applications, and they can sure come in handy. But using them on exterior doors can lead to a frustrating and expensive situation: On cold winter days, for example, you might want the door to close a little quicker to prevent your building's heat from escaping, which drives up energy bills. That used to mean hand-adjusting the closing rate in each individual door, often on a regular basis. But not anymore.

The Norton company has now introduced its Trinity 9000 Series door closers, which pack a self-powered onboard sensing system that can identify changes in temperature and automatically adjust a door's closing rate without a hassle.

The Trinity 9000 Series is just one of the many door-closing solutions on the market today, and Bill's Mobile Lock has the know-how and experience to help you find the one that's right for your needs.
