Upgrade priority

Security Upgrade Priority Tool

Money and effort go furthest when you fix things in the right order. Tick the gaps your home has and this tool ranks them into what to do first — life-safety (fire detection) always leads, then the ways people actually break in (doors, windows), then detection, deterrence and the nice-to-haves. Planning figures; runs in your browser, nothing stored.

Which gaps does your home have?
Tick every gap that applies — the tool ranks the fixes by priority, not by cost.

Planning estimate only — this is an indicative order, not a guaranteed spec. Life-safety (fire detection) always comes first; don’t spend on cameras while the front door is weak or there is no smoke detector. Fix the ways people actually get in before the nice-to-haves, and confirm the order with a proper risk assessment and a security professional.
