All homeowners should have a plan for keeping their home safe; unfortunately, some do not do this. A little study and research can go a long way when it comes to finding all the elements of a solid home safety plan. Continue reading to learn all the different ways to help safely secure your home.
Do you keep your dog outside when you aren’t home? They can help you with your spare key. Hook your key to the dog’s collar in a place that is shielded from view. This is quite effective if your pet does not respond well to strangers.
Put your spare key on your dog. In order to make this work, your dog either needs to stay outside or have access to a pet door. Just place your key on your dog’s collar.
Seek recommendations from friends and family when choosing a security company or system. They probably have both positive and negative things to tell you, and those comments will help you make your own decision. Ask around so that you can have the advice that you need to make a good choice.
When summer comes around, eliminate all vegetation and dead wood from your yard. As the summer heat rolls in, there is a higher chance that these can catch on fire, putting your home at risk. Keep your yard clear so it is a safe area.
When looking for a system to secure your home, do comparison shopping. Every company offers different pricing. Make sure to obtain quotes from a minimum of three companies prior to deciding on a final one.
See if your area police department has any home security programs. Several in various jurisdictions have programs which entail providing a home inspection, what protective measures will help your home and even how to engrave valuable items to make them easier to recover. Discuss these programs with a local police officer to see if they’re available in your area.
Motion sensor lights on the exterior of your home is a great idea. They will illuminate your property if they sense any movement near your home. They help notify you of any movement around your house and deter burglars too. Just remember and change out the light bulbs whenever necessary.
When planning to go away for a holiday, be sure to turn off the ringers on your home phones. A constantly ringing phone can signal to a burglar that the house is vacant, making it an easy target for their criminal activities.
A skylight is another area that needs to be protected for home security. Skylights are excellent for beauty and light, but it’s easy for burglars to gain access to your home through them. Be certain that skylights in your home can be locked securely.
Hiding Spot
Walls are a good place to hide things. If you need to protect expensive items in your home, put them inside the walls. Just use an unwired electric plug, light switch or phone box. A security store will sell fake plates you can install anywhere.
Walls are a great hiding spot for your valuables. This is a great way to hide jewelry, for example. Target any unused phone jacks or electrical outlets for an easy hiding spot. Installing a false unused plate is very easy to do if your home doesn’t have one.
Keep your most valuable possessions inside your walls. You don’t need to cut out segments of your walls by the way. There’s plenty of places in a house with pre-cut areas that can be used. Unused electrical sockets can be great for hiding expensive jewelry.
When choosing an alarm system, consider one that offers protection for more than just your doors. Burglars often enter through windows as well. Attach an alarm to every one of them, and make sure all entry points are monitored. This helps ensure your family stays safe.
Don’t hide an extra key under a rock or in a planter. These seem like great places for you when you misplace your key. Burglars are well aware of such hiding places. Instead, trust a neighbor to hold your spare key.
Make sure you have several flashlights that are charged and ready to go in the event of a power outage. It is extremely important that you have flashlights because they allow you to move around easier in the dark, which is especially useful in an emergency. Your whole family should be trained on the proper use and maintenance of flashlights.
Be on the lookout for rotten wood anywhere near your doors or windows. It is simple for a robber to pry away rotting wood and enter your home. Replace the rotting door frame with a new one and keep your home much safer.
It is crucial that home security is taken seriously, however it is a topic that many people are not familiar with. Learning about the subject is essential for anyone who is concerned about the security of their loves ones and possessions. After reading this article, hopefully you gathered enough useful information to help you feel confident on the topic of home security.
