It is likely you know of someone who has been the victim of a burglary at some point. People have to be very careful about home burglaries these days because they are increasing in frequency. Burglaries can happen anywhere. This piece discusses measures you can take to boost security at home.
The wiring on the outside of your home can draw burglars in. Copper is very valuable and it may be found in wiring. Hiding wiring is a good way to prevent copper thieves from hitting your property.
When you are trying to hire a home security contractor, read all the small print on your contract before signing it. There may be hidden costs involved that you were not aware of. You’ll definitely want to avoid these types of fees if you can, so read carefully.
Any priceless items need to be secured. This may include things like pictures of your children, heirloom jewelry or birth certificates. Floor safes are great for keeping items secure in your home. A better choice is storing them outside your home in a deposit box at the bank.
Are you worried about the costs of ongoing maintenance? Then, consider using a security system that is hard-wired. Although wireless security equipment is easy to install, it relies on battery power, necessitating constant battery swaps. If you don’t replace the batteries, you’ll find that your system stops working correctly. It can also be pretty expensive to replace batteries.
Go through a company to buy your security system. Resellers just want to make money off your purchase, but they don’t give guarantees. Dealing with the company itself will ensure that you’re not paying a middleman and provide you with a warranty.
Spare Key
Don’t put your spare key in an obvious place near your front door. While it may seem like a convenient way to give you access to your home, intruders are aware of this practice. Potential burglars know the usual hiding places. Instead, trust a neighbor to hold your spare key.
Place your valuables in cut-outs in your walls. This does not mean that you should make alterations to your walls. There are lots of places around the home that have pre-cut areas that you can use. Perhaps you can use an old electricity socket as a place to hide your valuables.
If you have any boxes to discard from large, expensive items, wait until the evening before the trash is scheduled for collection. Having these boxes nearby can tell robbers what kind of merchandise you’ve got in your house.
Don’t forget about the skylights when securing your home. While they are there to let light in, if you do not care for it properly it could also let in a thief. Make sure that you use safety hardware when the skylights are installed and maintained.
Think about a security system that is hard-wired if you really have concerns about maintenance costs. Although wireless systems are easier, they usually require a lot of batteries that require changing regularly. Forgetting to change out the batteries leaves you insecure. In addition, replacing multiple batteries can be expensive.
Don’t allow anyone you don’t know to look into your house. No matter how innocent a person may seem or how interesting the product he or she may be offering, you must not allow access. Some folks will enter to scout for security systems, and upon seeing you lack one, will resolve to return at a later time.
Carbon Monoxide
To increase your home’s security, buy some outdoor lights that are motion activated. During the night hours, these lights help light up the outside of your home, which makes them an excellent addition to your home security strategies. In addition, they are very affordable. With good positioning and properly set motion detectors, intruders will not be able to sneak up on your home unnoticed.
Keep carbon monoxide and smoke detectors clean. Lint and dust can build up in them and if they’re not cleaned regularly, it can affect their sensors. Therefore, the detectors cannot effectively protect your house from carbon monoxide and smoke.
Women are targets for thieves, especially those with kids. A pair of big muddy boots placed outside your door gives the impression that a man lives there. This will make burglars think twice about breaking in.
When in the process of selecting an alarm system, you should select a system that protects more than simply the doors of your home. Windows are all potential entry points for burglars. If you have an alarm attached to each of your windows and doors, you can keep track of all the entry points for your home. This is just one more thing you can do to protect your home.
A wireless security system could be a good option. A wired system might cost less, but they can require extensive rewiring work and may be rendered useless if the power fails. Wireless systems are much easier to install, and they can work independently of your home’s power.
Don’t think about home burglaries only occurring only at expensive homes. Any home that appears it can be broken into is a target for burglars. You can take the proper steps now to make sure you and your family feel safe and protected within your home.
Does your dog remain outside while you’re gone? Store the spare key with them. Find a place to securely fasten the key to your pet’s collar where it’s not visible. If your pet does not get along with strangers, this will ensure your spare key stays safe.
Home Security Devices for Doors: The Sliding Door Stopper is a clever device expands from 29 inches up to 32 inches so you can open your doors enough to allow air flow but still keep children in and burglars out.
