We're diving deep into the nitty-gritty of home safety this weekend, and trust me, you won’t want to miss it! First up, we’re chatting with the folks at Baldwin Hardware about the unsung heroes of your home—doorknobs and cabinetry hardware. These little guys take a beating, so we’re making sure you’ve got the good stuff that won't crumble in your hands at the first tug. Then, we're switching gears to hang out with the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, where we’ll spill the beans on how to prep your pad for whatever Mother Nature decides to throw our way this fire and storm season. We’re talking about strategies to keep your home sturdy and safe, because who wants to be caught off guard when the skies get stormy? So grab your headphones, sit back, and let’s get your home ready to brave the elements!

When it comes to making your home feel like a fortress against nature's shenanigans, Baldwin Hardware has got your back. In this week's chat, we dive into the nitty-gritty of doorknobs and cabinetry hardware—those small but mighty elements that we literally touch every day. Who would have thought that the way your doorknob feels can make or break your entire day? Seriously, if that thing crumbles in your hand, you might just reconsider your life choices! We explore how Baldwin’s hardware isn’t just about style; it's about durability and functionality, ensuring that your home doesn’t just look pretty but can withstand everyday life—and the occasional storm. We’ll also dish on the importance of choosing the right materials that can hold up against the acidic oils in our hands (yes, our skin is out to destroy your shiny new knobs!). So, whether you're a DIY guru or just want to keep your cabinets from looking like they’ve seen better days, this conversation is packed with insights that’ll make you rethink your hardware choices.
