Local Facts & Statistics

Charleston property crime affects 1 in 30 residents annually.

Over 60% of break-ins happen through poorly secured front doors.

Many homes are built with Kwikset or Schlage entry locks, which often get upgraded to Medeco or Mul-T-Lock for higher protection.

Salt air near the coast speeds up lock deterioration and rust-resistant Yale and Baldwin hardware last longer in Charleston’s climate.
