You never know when crime may strike close to home. Don’t neglect the safety of your home, yourself and your family. Read the guidelines in this guide in order to make your house a safe place that will scare intruders from coming in.
Talk to any companies you’re considering hiring to install a security system about how long the company has been around. It doesn’t take long for a quality company to prove itself in the security business, and you should look for a track record of satisfied customers and successful work. It will make you feel better knowing that the company you choose is not fly by night.
Make sure that your home’s smoke detectors are part of a unified system. This type connects all your alarms into one system. Therefore, whenever one of them goes off, the rest will go off. This means that there is no way you will sleep through an alarm, should a fire occur in one part of your house. It helps you notice a fire early so you can extinguish it sooner.
When securing your home, don’t forget about skylights. They look great and provide light, but also are another access point. Your skylights should have strong components that can withstand tampering.
Talk to your home-security company to see if they provide buy and lease options for your equipment. While you will pay more to buy, you don’t have to keep paying for it month after month. Sometimes it’s more affordable to begin with a lease, even though a continued lease may be costly in terms of ongoing higher monthly fees. Look at both of these to see what works for you.
An alarm system can be a powerful way to make your home more secure, as long as it actually notifies the authorities when it’s tripped. Get an alarm that is centrally monitored to ensure that when it sounds, the police arrive. You can’t always trust just the noise from the alarm to scare off the intruder.
When you buy a new house, be sure the locks are changed. There is no way to ascertain how many keys the previous owner handed out. To make sure your home can only be accessed by you, enlist the help of a locksmith. Also, if you lose your keys, change the locks.
Even if you have a great security system, it must be checked annually. Ask a qualified worker who specializes in security systems to take a look. Mother nature can sneak in and cause many problems. If the problem cannot be seen, you probably won’t even realize there is one.
When summer comes around, eliminate all vegetation and dead wood from your yard. As things heat up in the summer, items may catch on fire and threaten your home. Always clear the yard to ensure safety.
If you are moving in your new home, ensure all the old locks are replaced. Even if the previous owner or tenant seems trustworthy, you have no way of knowing how many copies of the key they made and distributed. Besides, other tenants or owners might have copies of the key if the previous owners did not change the locks.
Store those items you can’t bear to lose in a very secure area. Passports, financial records, jewelry, photos or legal documents should be locked away. Floor safes may come in handy for this purpose. For ultimate security, of course, such items can be kept in an off-site location like a bank’s safe deposit boxes.
Devote extra security to your irreplaceable possessions. This includes important documents, jewelry and keepsakes. Floor safes may come in handy for this purpose. If you can, a safety deposit box that is outside your home is even better.
If you have a window installed air conditioner, be sure that you have secured bars or a wooden board around it. They can be removed quite easily otherwise. Remove your air conditioner unit from the window during the winter.
Spring Latch Locks
Avoid letting people outside see inside your home. If you can see a big screen tv or computer from outside your home, a thief can see it too. Install some window treatments to cover your windows so people cannot see inside. Keep your most valuable items away from windows.
Do not purchase spring latch locks. Just one credit card can get a burglar access to your home. All they have to do is wedge the card between the latch and door, then wiggle it. Add a deadbolt if you do not want to replace your spring latch locks.
It’s hard to know what might make your home attractive to burglars since criminals are often quite haphazard. Don’t just cross your fingers and hope. Take a proactive stance on home security. Use what you’ve just read to secure your home.
If you’ve got a garage, boost home security just by using it for only a car instead of storage. If your car is locked up inside, it cannot be stolen or vandalized. Hiding it will help to deter people from tracking the times you aren’t there.
