NHSM From
NATIONAL HOME SECURITY MONTH
Security begins at home
National Home Security Month sounds like a misnomer . Of course , we should consider our home security throughout the year , and for locksmiths and security professionals , protecting property and possessions is our daily bread and butter . But for more than 10 years , October has marked NHSM and it ’ s a fitting month as we fall into a new season , days get shorter , nights get darker and thieves seem to think they can hide in the safety of the shadows . Well not on our watch !
» NHSM ORGANISERS SAY : “ HOME IS the place where you make treasured memories with your family and loved ones . National Home Security Month is here to highlight the importance of preventative measures – not only to protect physical possessions from burglary – but to also provide comfort in knowing your home and the memories within it are safe and secure . First launched in 2013 , the campaign offers advice , information and support on how to secure your property . NHSM 2024 will take place October , offering seasonal tips and advice to help protect the nation ’ s homes , families and possessions .”
Of course this advice is for the public , but for professionals , events like this serve as a reminder to see what ’ s on offer from manufacturers and suppliers , and what the big brands and businesses are designing and developing to make homes safer . Keeping up-to-date with market trends and industry knowledge means for locksmiths , whatever the date , you always have the best information for your customers , access to the latest products , have all the skills you need to provide quality service – and most importantly can pursue every avenue of revenue when it comes to home security .
This exclusive supplement has been designed to do just that .
