Niche

Retired locksmith's cheap home-security fixes for doors, windows and safes

Audience

Homeowners and renters, likely older and budget-minded, who want cheap do-it-tonight ways to make doors, windows, garages and safes harder to get into (inferred from titles, the about text, which addresses homeowners, and the descriptions).

Avatar

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic older man with white hair, a white beard, glasses pushed up on his head, a navy work shirt with a 'RAY' name patch and a ring of keys at his belt, shown waist-up at doors, windows, safes and a garage.

Format

One home-security weak point per video: a 'morning after the break-in' story, why the trick works (explicitly not how to do it), a quick test to do tonight, then fixes in order of cost, cheapest first.

Typical length

13–14 min since Sep 29; earlier uploads ran 20–29 min
