Due to the volume and severity of various threats, many homeowners are seeking ways to reduce their risk. A residential safe or panic room is a secure area within a private residence that provides shelter from potentially dangerous events, such as home invasions, robberies and terrorist attacks. Its primary purpose is to buy time until law enforcement arrives and secures the premises.

If you live in Suffolk County, New York, the experienced home security professionals at Silent Guardian Technical Solutions can design and install a state-of-the-art safe room to protect your family and provide more peace of mind.

About the Safe Room Structure

A residential safe room can be an in- or above-ground structure that typically includes these components:

  • Walls and a ceiling: These rooms have floor-to-ceiling walls consisting of solid, secure materials like concrete masonry units, insulated concrete or wood.
  • Floors: Most rooms have concrete floors to provide durability and accommodate heavy loads.
  • Doors: The door should be bulletproof and contain security hardware that does not impede its operation.
  • Surveillance cameras: Hidden cameras enable you to monitor the area and prevent intruders from locating and disabling them.
  • Phone: Install a separate landline to communicate with law enforcement and other first responders. Cell phone signals may not penetrate the thick walls or ceilings.

Examples of what to keep in your panic room include nonperishable food, bottled water, weapons for self-defense, flashlights, medications and sanitation/personal hygiene items.

Benefits and Uses of Panic Rooms

A solidly constructed panic room can provide more than a secure hiding place from home invaders. It also offers protection against severe weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes. In today’s nuclear arms era, these rooms can provide a safe haven from an attack. You could even install a panic room to keep yourself and other family members away from a potentially abusive ex-spouse or partner.
