Panic Room

Keeping our homes safe is an absolute must these days. Never before has crime been so random and widespread. Those days of leaving the front door unlocked when heading off to bed are certainly a thing of the past. In this day and age, it pays to be prepared for almost anything. Some families even go so far as installing a panic room in their homes. While some may think this concept to be a little extreme; I will ask you, did you ever see the movie Panic Room? It may change your mind.

While films may be a little far-fetched and extreme, they are nevertheless art imitating life. The point is that it could happen. I personally prefer to keep my home on lock down most of the time. When I say this I don't mean that steel walls surround the exterior of my home. I simply mean that I always keep the doors locked, even in the daytime. What else is going to keep someone from walking into your home? Believe it or not, it does happen. Criminals will seek out places that are easy to penetrate. I can't say that I have a panic room just yet. However, I intend to put one in the house I have built for me and my family. The funny thing is I hadn't considered it until I actually saw one in person. Last summer when visiting my oldest brother, I noticed he had a panic room. He and his wife had recently moved into a new home they had built just to their liking. The cool thing was the panic room's location. After moseying around the three story home, my brother pointed out a small nook in the bottom floor. I then watched him shift the wall paneling to reveal a steel door. He punched in a code on the small keypad and the heavy door unlocked. I was in awe of the hidden panic room. Not only could you lock yourself in this secure environment, but there was actually a wall to conceal it.
