OCTOBER HOME SECURITY INITIATIVE WILL SELL MORE DOORS AND WINDOWS
Sponsored by security brand Yale and supported by leading window and door fabricator Quickslide , National Home Security Month is returning this October in its fourth year , aimed at encouraging homeowners to reconsider every aspect of the security of their properties .
NHSM will cover a different security topic each week including home security measures – predominantly focusing on window and door locks as well as how to safeguard valuables inside a home . And Quickslide , as industry leaders in high-quality windows and doors fitted with pioneering security features , is encouraging its installer customers to make the most of the heightened awareness that this event will generate , by emphasising to their customers the upgraded security features available as standard on its products .
“ Usually the first thing a buyer considers is aesthetics , closely followed by security , then price ,” advised Quickslide ’ s Sales & Marketing Director Tom Swallow . “ National Home Security Month will encourage homeowners to think even more about the security features on windows and doors they may be considering .”
