Do You Have All The Home Security That You Need? Try These Ideas!

Some people may think securing their home is hard. It doesn’t have to be that way. Keep reading for some cost-effective methods for securing your home.

Consider using your dog as a place to store your spare key. But, this is only effective if your home has a pet door or your dog stays outdoors when you are not home. Hide a key inside the collar of your dog in case you need a spare.

Comparison shopping is essential when seeking a security system for the home. Prices for home security systems can vary and they do not all offer the same services. You really owe it to yourself to solicit firm quotes from three different providers before you sit down to pick one.

TIP! Seek recommendations from friends and family when choosing a security company or system. Others may have had bad and good experiences that they share with you so that you may be able to save time and stress.

After you buy your new house, get new locks. The previous owners or tenants might have made several copies of the key. Having a locksmith replace the locks will ensure that no strangers have a key. Also, if you lose your keys, change the locks.

Is your dog kept outside when you are away? Store the spare key with them. Attach the key to the dog’s collar so that it is hidden from view. If your dog does not like strangers, this can help ensure consistent access to the house.

Turn off ringers on land line phones while you are on vacation. If your phone is ringing while you are out, burglars will realize that no one is home, making your home very vulnerable to an attack during your time away.

TIP! Never allow any strangers into your home. It is essential you do not do this, even if the stranger gives you a convincing story or states they need your assistance.

Do not tell anyone that you are going on vacation out of your friend circle. It’s natural to be excited about your trip, but this is as good as throwing out the welcome mat for people who know your home is unoccupied.

You should clean your yard of vegetation and dead wood. These could catch on fire during the summer, especially if you live in a dry area. Be sure all sorts of flammable items are kept under control around your home.

The police department in your area may offer a home protection program. Home inspections or engraving identifiers can help protect you. Get in touch with the department to determine their offerings.

TIP! Make your home safer by storing your car inside the garage. You will not have to worry about thieves taking your car if it is inside your garage.

See if your area police department has any home security programs. They may offer things such as home inspections, engraving tool loans, and other guidance about securing your house. Talk with local police to see if they offer these programs.

When it comes to securing your home, start by changing your locks. Perhaps your roommate left town or you have gone through a messy divorce, and you need to feel that the home is safe. It is not expensive and you can do it in less than a day.

Do not be shy. Speak with your neighbors. Ask them to keep an eye on your home, and do the same thing for them. Do not ignore gossip either. Important security details (like the presence of strangers in your neighborhood) can come out of the most innocent conversations.

TIP! Don’t forget skylights when doing a security sweep for your home. Though skylights bring light into your home and look nice, it is also a very common way for burglars to get into your home.

You have a choice on who installs your security system, don’t be afraid to say no if something doesn’t feel right. This is particularly true if you feel uncomfortable with a company you are dealing with. Do not hesitate to ask for a different person to install the system or even consider hiring a different company. Security is supposed to give you peace of mind after all!

If you are throwing away the box an expensive item came in, wait until trash day to put the box out. Exposing the box to view ahead of time signals a burglar that he will find this item in your home.

Do not let people on the street see valuable items in your home. It may be great to have large windows with a view, but this means that people can look in. By reducing visibility into your home, you protect your belongings, safety, and you improve the interior beauty of your home.

TIP! Lock the house, even if just going away for a short time. It may shock you to know this, but a lot of intruders get inside homes through open doors.

Just moved in? Time for new locks! Although you may trust the previous homeowner, you cannot be 100% sure of their character. If the previous owners have never changed the locks, there could be people out there who owned the house before them and still have keys to your house.

If your home isn’t new, replace the locks. They previous occupants may have made copies of the keys. You can purchase and install locks yourself to make sure only you have the key.

Be sure to replace rotten wood in the frame of your front door. If a person wants to enter your home, rotted wood can easily be pried away. Keep your home secure by replacing rotted wood with fresh timber.

TIP! Before letting someone from a security company into a house, get some sort of official identification. Burglars are creative, and they often pose as a member of the security team to get inside.

Motion-sensitive exterior lighting is a must. In the evening hours, this lighting can provide extra security and an economical way to light your front entrance way when you arrive. With good positioning and properly set motion detectors, intruders will not be able to sneak up on your home unnoticed.

With these quality tips for home security, you can do a better job of securing your house. Make some changes today. You’ll feel safe living in your home at any point of the day. You’ll find yourself more relaxed before you know it.

Don’t limit security to the inside of your home; the outside needs attention too. Do not obstruct doors and windows with plants or furniture. If criminals know you can see them, they are less likely to break in. Landscaped features should be set further away for safety, yet keeping beauty in mind.

TIP! For maximum safety, your home needs bright exterior lighting. Criminals love darkness to help mask their crimes.
