Affiliate Disclosure | DoorSecurityGroup

DoorSecurityGroup.com participates in affiliate marketing programs, meaning we may earn a commission if you purchase products through links on our site, at absolutely no additional cost to you.

Our Commitment to Transparency

At DoorSecurityGroup, trust is the foundation of everything we do. For over 15 years, our Manhattan-based team has built a reputation on providing honest, expert security advice. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we want to be completely transparent about how this website generates revenue.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on certain links on our site—such as a link pointing to a specific smart lock on Amazon or a security system on SimpliSafe's website—and make a purchase, we may receive a small referral commission.

This comes at zero additional cost to you. The price you pay for the product remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or navigate directly to the vendor's site.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Maintaining our nationwide installer network, building our free AI security assessment tool, and producing in-depth guides based on our team's real installation experience all require real resources. Affiliate commissions allow us to keep DoorSecurityGroup free for all readers without resorting to intrusive display ads or paywalls.

Our Unbiased Editorial Promise

Our integrity is not for sale. Here is how we ensure our recommendations remain unbiased:

1. Field Experience, Not Paid Reviews: Our recommendations come from our installation and review team's direct, hands-on experience installing and servicing this hardware for clients over our 15+ year history — not a standalone product-testing lab. Where we haven't personally installed a specific product, we say so and note that our take relies on manufacturer specifications and published third-party testing instead.
2. No Paid Placements: We do not accept payment from manufacturers to rank their products higher on our "Best Of" lists.
3. The Good and the Bad: If a product has a flaw—like a Wi-Fi lock with terrible battery life or a smart lock with a confusing app—we will point it out, regardless of our affiliate relationship.
4. Security First: Our primary goal is to help you secure your home. We would never recommend an inferior product simply for a higher commission.
