If you are unsure what your security options for your home are, then keep reading in order to learn more. This can be a costly decision without the right knowledge. There’s no better way to prepare for this buying decision than to educate yourself thoroughly on the topic first.
When you buy a new house, be sure the locks are changed. You cannot be sure of the number of key copies that the former owner gave out. Speak with a locksmith to get a unique lock for your home. When you lose your keys, have your locks rekeyed.
You can hide your spare key on your dog. This approach is useful if your dog is a large breed that lives outdoor, or if your house has a doggy door. Attach the spare key to your dog’s collar. By doing this, you have a handy spare key whenever you need it.
Home security systems do more than sounding an alarm in case of a break in. The majority of systems will give an audible alert when someone enters the house. This can be valuable to parents with small children as they are made aware their child has opened or closed a door.
A spare key must be carefully hidden and not in the obvious spots that a person might think. Placing a key above a door or under a doormat is quite obvious! Think outside the box and put the key someplace unusual, like hidden in your dog’s collar.
A good security system has many more features than sounding the alarm during a break-in. Modern systems are often capable of detecting any open door or window and announcing that fact. This is a valuable safety feature for parents of small children since they know if their child has exited the home.
Buy roofing, flooring and interior paneling that is flame resistant. This is a good way to protect your home against fires, for instance if you live near power lines or in a dry area. Lowering or eliminating the risk of a fire is an extremely important home security strategy because a fire can cause extreme destruction very quickly.
Before agreeing to work with a security company, check with your friends and family for recommendations. They have likely had interactions with home security providers that they can tell you about, saving you time and stress. Ask a few different people to help you make the best choice.
During summer, remove your landscape’s dead vegetation and wood. These can pose a fire hazard due to heat and storms with lightning. Be sure all sorts of flammable items are kept under control around your home.
Don’t let strangers enter your home. Remember that intruders have a lot of experience with tricking people. Some criminals will use any reason to gain access to look for security systems and easy entryways into your house.
Do not open your door for people you do not know. Nowadays, people invent many stories of why they should come in. For instance, they may say they need to call a mechanic or the police. However, their true intent is to rob you. Make it a habit to only open your home’s door to people you were expecting.
Skylights need to be secure, too. While they are an excellent source of natural light, they are also an easy way for thieves to enter your home. You should have them equipped with strong, sturdy hardware.
When choosing a home security firm, trust your instincts. If you are hesitant about the company, your gut feeling is especially important. You don’t want to refrain from choosing a different company or technician. After all, the point of the system itself is to help you feel more at ease.
Stashing your most precious possession right inside the walls of your home can be a great idea. It’s not necessary to cut out parts of your wall to do this. Find a place where there is already a hole to get in through. Why not take the guts out of an electrical socket you’re not using? You can convert it into a convenient and covert little wall safe.
Keep valuables hidden within the walls. This doesn’t necessarily involve chopping up your walls, either. You can find pre-cut areas in your walls that can be used. Remove the wires from an electric socket you do not use so you can hide your valuable jewelry.
Hopefully, a close reading of the tips above has equipped you with some great guidance for your quest to make your home more secure. It’s important to take home security seriously. Keep these tips in mind as you secure your home.
