With the start of the year racing ahead, we find ourselves already facing the much anticipated Easterbreak. We at Magnitude Security would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a safe and happy Easter.

The start of 2011 has been a period of growth for us at Magnitude Security. We are excited by the opportunities in front of us and look forward to serving our new and existing clientele.

We have a fantastic special offer available that will help those close to you to protect their homes – refer to the back page for more information or visit themembers section of our website at www.MagnitudeSecurity.com.au

We have included some holiday tips and tricks to ensure the Easter and school holiday period is a safe and secure time for your business and family.

• Contact Magnitude Security’s Control Room to let them know that you will be away and when you are going to return.
• Tell a few neighbours that you can trust that you will be away so they can keep an eye on your home while you are gone.
• Advise the Police before leaving that your house will be unoccupied.
• Cancel your usual deliveries (eg milk/papers). Nothing says ‘I’m away’ like newspapers piling up at the front gate/door.
• Organise to have your mail collected by a friend/relative or held at the Post Office.
• Collect spare keys you may have hidden outside and put them in a safe place.
• Consider installing some timer switches so that lights or radios etc will come on automatically to make it appear that someone is home.
• Check to make certain that all windows are closed and those fitted with locks have been key-locked. Ensure all exterior doors have been locked and deadlocked.
• Make sure that your alarm is turned on and that your ‘Magnitude Security’ monitoring stickers are clearly visible to those outside.

The floods in January of this year brought devastation on a scale never experienced before for many families and businesses in South East Queensland. The thoughts of the entire team at Magnitude Security still with those who continue to endure the hardships associated with this event. If you, or someone you know is still awaiting assistance to get things back on track, please give us a call. As a licenced Electrical Contractor, Brian can assist in a variety of areas outside the realm of security equipment including Insurance reporting and quoting and Telecommunications equipment repair.
