Weather The Storm: Prepare For Natural Disasters With Trusted Security Solutions From The Master Lock Company

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, natural disasters in the U.S. cost homeowners and businesses a record $306 billion, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ¹.

To help safeguard your valuables, The Master Lock Company provides peace of mind with trusted security products that help to protect valuable assets no matter the circumstance.

"We understand the value of reliable security, which is why we test our products against the toughest situations, including extreme weather conditions, harsh temperatures and physical attacks," said Justin Matuszek, director of product marketing at The Master Lock Company.
