I often get asked during home inspections about where did I get my telescoping ladder and I will also give bits of information on recommended items that can really save you time and or money.

 This page was created to help you locate certain items that I like and recommend. Some of them make excellent gifts, such as the ladder for Fathers Day

I come across windows in which the locking mechanisms no longer work, are broken or do not line up well during many home inspections. 

These are simple devices that are easily installed that prevent windows from being opened from the exterior. They are also easily unlocked from the interior in the event that an escape is needed.

Windows and doors that slide open are a favorite entry point for criminals. They open & close silently and factory-installed locks/latches are often easy to defeat. Window Guard pins have a unique lock system that keeps them in locked position and are virtually impossible to remove from the outside. Constructed of high-strength 4.7mm hardened steel with 3-1/2" length that's 40% longer than other pins - more metal for more protection. Window Guard pins work with wood, metal or fiberglass-framed doors and windows. Install in just minutes with all hardware included. One pin set includes locking pin with retainer chain, pin receiver, pin hanger and screws. Order multiple Window Guard sets to protect all sliding doors & windows.
