It is important that you never completely put your guard down. Do not endanger your family by falling short on safety. This article has advice to help protect your home.
Choose an out of the way place to hide your spare key, not the obvious ones. A very obvious location is underneath fake rocks. Doormats, too. The best idea is just to ask a friend or neighbor to hang on to a key for you. If you want to keep it at your house, find a spot that’s not obvious.
Keep all valuables away from the windows of your home. If no one can see that it is there, they are much less likely to break in trying to steal items of value.
If you have a numeric keypad on your door as your lock, don’t make the password your birthday. Your date of birth can be obtained through Facebook or your mail. Think instead of a more creative way to keep track of your code.
Security System
If you have a ladder in your shed, you better put a lock on that door! You might as well issue an invitation to a burglar to come in your second floor windows if you leave the ladder out. Keep all devices they can use to get up high, such as trash cans, supplies for building and even the shed itself, under lock and key.
Consider a hard-wired security system if you are concerned about ongoing maintenance costs. Sure, wireless options are easier to use, but they consume battery power quickly. Neglecting this maintenance can cause faults in your security system and leave you improperly protected. Replacing several batteries will quickly add up.
If you turn lights off and on at the same hours each day, you should use a timer. A timer will turn your lights on and off randomly and functions whether you are home or not.
Rather than basic exterior lighting, consider installing infrared detection lights. It only comes on if a human comes near. This will deter most burglars. The sudden burst of light usually causes panic, and intruders will typically flee once they’re illuminated.
Secure valuables that are truly irreplaceable. Irreplaceable valuables, including financial records, family photos, legal documents, passports, etc., should be secured at all times. Purchase a safe with a lock to store all of these items. For added safety, place them in a safety deposit box at your bank.
Always close your curtains, especially if a passerby can easily look in your windows. You don’t want to attract peeping Toms. If possible burglars get a look at what you own, they might target you next. Try being discreet about what everyone sees to reduce the chances of being targeted by burglars.
Put away any outdoor toys your children have when they are not playing with them. This gives thieves the idea that women live on the property. Thieves assume that women are more apt to have valuables like jewelry inside.
Neighborhood gossip does not always have to be tedious and immature. A busybody who likes you is sure to tell you about suspicious characters in the neighborhood. You will even be able to ask your neighbors to keep an eye on your home if you are going on a vacation.
When you’re going away, turn off your phone ringers. This is because a phone that is ringing and ringing can tip of a burglar that nobody is currently home.
Before selecting any home-security company, talk to your friends to see who they suggest. Others have likely had both good and bad experiences that they can share with you that can then save you a lot of stress and time. Spending a few days asking for reviews is useful in helping you choose correctly.
It is always best to not let people in that just show up out of the blue. Even if the person has a compelling story, needs help or has something to sell, they should not be given access. This is the first rule of keeping your home secure.
Garage Door
Your trash plays a big role in how safe your home is. If you bought expensive electronics, the boxes in the front of your house will cause a thief to come back and steal them. The smallest of purchases may indicate you have something valuable in your home, making thieves believe you have things worth taking.
Program your garage door code to something that you will remember, but that would be hard for someone to guess. The standard code that comes with your garage door opener is standard for the same units; therefore, the code for one opener will open up other similar ones. Thieves go door-to-door with their opener until they figure out the generic code it has.
The criminal element is quite unpredictable and every home is a potential target. You should take action to secure your family and your belongings. Keep these tips in mind, and continue to research ways to keep your home and family protected.
It is important that you check your home security system periodically, at least once a year. Make certain the security company you choose provides for regular inspections. Many factors cause issues with security systems like nature and wild animals. If you aren’t paying attention, you may not be aware of these problems.
