Given our shared concerns for building security, a reminder on security
for your unit:
1) It's a good idea to have a double-lock: The bolt lock that was
originally installed on the doors and a second lock on the knob. Many
units have them, but too many still don't. Many of us have also added
a security plate by the bolt lock to make it more difficult to pry open
a door, as was done during the breakings in the West Loop area
(including or building) a few years ago. The cost is arond $400 if
done by a licensed locksmith.
2) Make sure your security alarm is activated. As I recall, none of the
units that were broken into in our building had security alarms
activites. We don't all have the same systems, so you should contact
the manufacturer of your alarm to activate (or install) it. You will
likely need a telephone line, but wireless systems are available.
If you already have one, be sure to test it annually to make sure it
functions.
The alarms set off a horrendous noise (as we discovered when we didn't
hit the proper code once; the police came up within 10-15 minutes). If
you should hear an alarm go off, check to see what's up.
