Home Security in New Construction Homes

May 3, 2022

Ameri-Star Homes’ homes come with desirable home security features.

Building a new home takes into account all aspects of practical residential living. Home security might be on the end of the checklist, but it is certainly one of the most important that a home can offer. Safety in one’s house is a priority. Ameri-Star Homes builds high-quality, customizable new homes in central Maryland that promote excellent home security in these key ways.

Exterior Lighting

Exterior lighting outside of every exterior entrance is necessary to keep guests and residents safe. Exterior lighting features at the front door, the back door, the garage, and any other entrance can be as utilitarian or as stylish as one pleases. There are far more options than you might know that can make your home look like a work of art at night while keeping people safe.

Keyed Alike Deadbolt Locks

Keyed alike door locks are locks that can use one key to open multiple locks. For example, you can use the same key to open the front and back doors. This kind offers convenience, a lighter keychain, and no more testing through all your different keys. A deadbolt lock offers higher security, requiring a key to open the bolt in the door lock. Intruders won’t be able to jiggle the lock open or ram through the entrance.

Security Alarms

Home security systems can include multiple devices, such as burglar alarms, CCTV cameras, and motion sensors. Ameri-Star Homes offers alarm system prewires, which set you up to install your home security system with zero need to dig into the new drywall. A home security system can help you deter possible intruders before they even get to the door.

Smoke Detectors

All homes need fire protection, and Ameri-Star Homes delivers new construction homes with quality smoke detectors with battery backup. The backup battery is there to support the system even when the power goes out. In general, one should check on the smoke detectors’ batteries once every six months for optimum performance.

Fire Sprinkler System

An interior overhead sprinkler system is required in Maryland’s new construction homes. Fire sprinkler data shows that fire sprinkler systems do indeed save many lives and significantly reduce building damage. If you have any questions, contact us!
