The concept of home security has evolved far beyond simple door locks and window bars. In 2025, comprehensive home security encompasses integrated systems that combine physical barriers, electronic monitoring, smart home automation, and professional response services.
For Chicago homeowners, this evolution is particularly important given the city's unique challenges: extreme weather conditions, diverse architectural styles, varying neighborhood security needs, and the rapid adoption of smart home technologies. The smart lock industry growth—from $2.13 billion in 2022 to a projected $8.21 billion by 2030—mirrors the broader security industry expansion.
