subject: Why You Should Choose An Aloa Member Lithonia Locksmith [print this page] If you need locksmith work at your business or home address then you will find clear benefits if you choose a Lithonia Locksmith who is a certified member of the ALOA (Associated Locksmiths of America. This short article explains the benefits of choosing an ALOA member.
You will clearly want to pick a properly trained, skilled tradesman who is trustworthy and a reputable businessman. A skilled locksmith will be able to carry out many jobs involving fitting, maintaining or replacing door and window locks. He will also be knowledgeable about many aspects of home and business security, and can act for you as a general security expert. Whatever your work requirements you should consider selecting a locksmith who is a certified professional member of the Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA).
ALOA locksmiths undertake to abide by the Technical Standards and Code of Ethics documents published by their organization. They have qualified through a Proficiency Program (PRP) implemented and maintained by the ALOA. This is the international standard for certification of premises security professionals, and assures customer recognition of the skills, training and experience of the locksmith.
Some installers of security equipment such as CCTV systems and burglar alarm systems have received specific and specialist training from the makers of that equipment, but do not have the wide background security expertise needed to offer unbiased advice. They may not have been trained sufficiently in other security devices to consider all the available security options.
Some builders and home owners follow a piecemeal approach to security: outdoor security lighting from one vendor, burglar alarm/CCTV from another, door locks from a carpenter etc. This is not always the most cost-effective approach.
Builders and home owners should consider hiring an ALOA member to provide a coherent review of all their security requirements. An ALOA professional can best tailor a security solution to the client's needs, and will therefore be able to give a cost-effective solution.
