How to Use This Calculator
  1. Walk the property and assess each security category: perimeter, entry points, lighting, alarm, and access control.
  2. Enter a score from 0-10 for each category based on observed condition and effectiveness.
  3. Set the weighting for each category based on property risk profile.
  4. Review the overall security score and identify the lowest-scoring categories.
  5. Provide the customer with a prioritized recommendation list based on score gap and cost-effectiveness.

Door security (0-10)
Door construction, frame reinforcement, strike plates, hinges.
Window security (0-10)
Window locks, security film, bars/grilles, glass break sensors.
Exterior lighting (0-10)
Adequate exterior lighting, motion-activated lights, dark spots.
Lock quality (0-10)
Lock grade, pick resistance, bump resistance, key control.
Alarm system (0-10)

What each result means

Overall security score
Weighted security score out of 100 (85+ excellent, 70+ good, 50+ fair, below 50 poor).
Risk level (1-5)
1 = Excellent, 2 = Good, 3 = Fair, 4 = Poor, 5 = Critical.
Weakest area (code)
1=Perimeter, 2=Doors, 3=Windows, 4=Lighting, 5=Locks, 6=Alarm, 7=Cameras, 8=Access control.
Critical vulnerabilities
Number of categories scoring below 4 (critical risk threshold).
Est. remediation cost
Estimated cost to bring all categories up to acceptable levels.
Insurance discount (%)
Potential insurance premium discount based on security score.
Lock subscore
Lock quality score (highest weight in a locksmith survey).
Physical barrier score
Combined doors, windows, and perimeter score out of 100.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Perimeter security (0-10) = 5, Door security (0-10) = 5, Window security (0-10) = 5, Exterior lighting (0-10) = 5 = 8 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Overall security score
    Overall security score = (weightedSum / totalWeight / 10) * 100
    44.8 = 44.8
  3. Calculate Risk level
    4 = 4
  4. Calculate Weakest area
    Weakest area
    6 = 6
