Want to stop a Home Invasion?


According to the FBI, 68% of home invasions occur through the front door. Once an intruder enters your home, you have minutes maybe seconds to react. Find your phone, call the police, hide... once you do that it takes minutes for the police to get to you. In that instance, it will feel like a lifetime of waiting to hear those sirens. If you are lucky enough and they get to you before the intruder does you will think twice about your safety.
I recently spoke to Ron Daniels, a retired police officer and creator of The Ultimate Lock. His mission is to have every home owner equipped with a lock that will prevent a home invasion. In his own words "Once they are in, the Police just can't get their fast enough". So we need to prevent them from coming in! But how? Most intruders enter through the front door, they either kick down the door or pick the lock (which can be learned by just about any novice). Doors are not barriers of the home, any door can be kicked down if they aren't equipped properly. That's where The Ultimate Lock comes in. This lock withstands 4000lbs of pressure, not even a police battering ram could get through the front door. Standard doors can only withstand 200lbs of pressure. If an intruder wants in all they have to do is put a little power behind their kick. It also comes with a added bump proof feature, which means no one can pick the lock- you must have the KEY to get in the home.
In the end whats the point of a lock that can withstand up to 4000 pounds of pressure and can still be picked? So ask yourself, can your lock handle a beating like this? Feel safe, feel protected?
Pop-a-lock a nationwide company in all 50 states challenged The Ultimate Lock on what we said it could do. The following video presents pop-a-lock's top 1% of pickers(I was there) in the nation to try and get into the lock through lock picking methods.

24 percent of non-crash related deaths of children are from leaving them in a locked car

According to Kids and Cars, a non-profit organization that lobbies to prevent deaths and injuries of children left unattended in and around cars, 84 children have died just this year from being left in a car unattended. In 2007, 165 children died because they were left unattended in a locked car. In fact, from 2000 to 2007, being left unattended in a locked car was the second-leading cause of non-crash related fatalities in children under 15, and the numbers are on the rise.
Statistics like these are what drives Pop-A-Lock to offer their Emergency Door Unlocking program, a free service for the community that saves the lives of children locked in vehicles every day and has successfully rescued more than 200,000 children since its start in 1991. Provided nationwide in the cities Pop-A-Lock serves, the EDU program offers free car door unlocking when a child is locked in a vehicle or a human life is in danger. Hot or cold temperatures can be devastating inside a locked car, and Pop-A-Lock is committed to keeping children safe and preventing accidents from becoming tragedies.
The company receives countless letters of thanks every day from customers who have benefited from the EDU program. They speak of Pop-A-Lock's success and the need for this service in communities across the nation. In many cities throughout the United States, numerous broadcasting stations proudly make Pop-A-Lock a continuous part of their community service announcements, as well as sponsors of this valuable program.
