DIY vs Xpanda! Which One is Better?

Choosing the right security solution can be overwhelming, especially after going through break-ins and burglaries. It feels like a clock is ticking and you do not have much time to secure your family, staff, or belongings. it's not just about the lost valuables, but the feeling of being violated in your own space.

Yet just like every door and window has a different design, every security solution can take a different form, and they do not come for free.

This makes it even harder to make a decision.

Should you tackle a DIY project to save money and time, or should you bring in professionals?

Because of this, to adapt to a wide range of security needs, our DIY Xpanda's security products are designed to be expandable and adjustable.
