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 “set and forget” security device.
Common Mistakes New Homeowners Make
1️⃣ Ignoring Battery Replacement
Electronic safes depend on stable battery power. Waiting until batteries die can:
-
Lock you out
-
Reset internal systems
-
Damage digital boards
Replace batteries proactively every 6–12 months.
2️⃣ Poor Installation Placement
Improper placement can:
-
Expose safes to moisture
-
Cause floor instability
-
Reduce fire resistance
Professional installation ensures correct positioning and anchoring.
3️⃣ DIY Code Changes
Incorrect programming often leads to:
-
Permanent lockouts
-
Error mode activation
-
System failure
Professional technicians ensure secure and accurate resets.
Why Regular Servicing Is Essential
✔ Ensures smooth locking operation
✔ Protects valuables long-term
✔ Prevents emergency costs
✔ Extends safe lifespan
For growing residential areas like Kitengela, preventive servicing is far more affordable than emergency repair.
