Kitengela continues to grow rapidly with new residential estates and developments. Many new homeowners install safes to protect valuables but overlook long-term maintenance.
A safe is not a βset and forgetβ security device.

2οΈβ£ Poor Installation Placement
Improper placement can:

Professional technicians ensure secure and accurate resets.
