Home security in Hamilton for century homes and Mountain bungalows

Century homes

Older brick homes often have basement windows at grade, original wood doors with simple locks, and side doors down narrow alleys. Upgrading the deadbolt and strike plate on a rear door and putting sensors on basement windows usually does more than adding cameras. We avoid opening plaster walls and use wireless devices wherever possible.

Older electrical, older alarms

In older homes we often find smoke alarms that are long past their ten-year life, or a single alarm for a whole house. Ontario law requires a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas, and CO alarms where there is a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage. We check both on every visit.

Public data for your area

The City of Hamilton publishes open datasets through Open Hamilton, and the Hamilton Police Service website lists ways to report incidents and stay informed.

What a walkthrough in Hamilton looks like

We start with your Safety Score answers, then check the things the score can't see: the date on every smoke and CO alarm, the doors you actually use, Wi-Fi strength where a camera would go, and who needs a code. You get an itemized quote in writing and decide in your own time.
