Lindsey Peña 10News talks to Marques Oliver of Magnus Security on 10News ABC San Diego KGTV amid safety concerns at outdoor events after Jason Aldean cancels his performance on Saturday at Mattress Firm Amphitheatre in wake of Sunday's deadly shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Our hearts are with those affected by yet another tragedy; another terrorist act. Be safe America...

Did you know that your home's door locks come with a rating? (ANSI) The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established three grades for door locks to help identify the quality and durability of locksets and deadbolts. Each product must pass operational and security tests, including cycles, door strikes and weight test. One cycle consists of the knob or handle turning completely to retract the latch bolt and open the door, then it is released, allowing the door to r...e-latch. ANSI Grade 1 is the best choice for exterior residential door locks. Here is a description of the three ratings: Grade 1 Best Highest grade security available. Meets commercial building requirements and is available for residential uses via deadbolts. There are not standard knobs, handlesets or mortise lockset that will meet ANSI Grade 1 certifications, only commercial lever handles. Knobs must withstand 800,000 cycles, 6 door strikes and a 360 pound weight test Deadbolts must withstand 250,000 cycles and 10 door strikes (hammer test) Grade 2 Better Meets light commercial building requirements; exceeds standard residential security and building requirements. Knobs must withstand 400,000 cycles, 4 door strikes and a 250 pound weight test Deadbolts must withstand 150,000 cycles and 5 door strikes (hammer test) Grade 3 Good Meets residential building requirements only and provides minimal residential security. Knobs must withstand 200,000 cycles, 2 door strikes and a 150 pound weight test Deadbolts must withstand 100,000 cycles and 2 door strikes (hammer test)

Please take a moment to reflect on the lives lost on this day in 2001, and the many many lives affected thereafter.

You will be missed, until the next time...

We absolutely love the Ring Video Doorbell, however this technology is quickly evolving and certainly will have some more feature heavy and affordable options on the market soon.

As a friendly reminder to all of our residential community clients, please remember to lock your doors/windows, and maybe your closets too!
