Do you know anything about home security systems? If you’re lost just pondering this subject, you need some facts. Home security is too important to ignore. You’ll find that a little self-education will prepare you to make much better security decisions. Check out the suggestions below and start improving your security savvy!
Have your dog protect the spare key. This is only true if yours in an outdoor dog, or your house is equipped with a doggie door. Place the alternative key on your dog’s collar in case of an emergency.
After getting a new home, make sure to change its locks. You will want to have a unique combination to stay secure. Have a locksmith install a brand new lock. In addition, replace your locks if your keys ever get lost.
Only allow maids and cleaning services to have a key to the house if they are known to be trustworthy. Anyone you give the keys to your home to should be unarguably honest. Check the housekeeper’s references very carefully. If they work for a firm, call the local Better Business Bureau to find out that firm’s reputation.
Home security systems aren’t just about sounding alarms. Many systems can be used to go off whenever anyone enters your home. If you have little ones wandering about the house, this makes it easy for you to know if they have come in or gone out.
If you retain a space key for when you get locked out, consider the place you hide it carefully. Above a door frame or under a mat are not smart ideas. Instead, try hiding a key on the collar of an outside dog.
You should talk to your friends and family about advice concerning certain home security companies. You can benefit from the experience of others that have gone before you by paying attention to their recommendations and warnings. Do your research; it will help you make a good decision in the end.
Never allow str4angers to enter your house. Even if they tell you a sob story about needing help, this warning remains true. Some folks will enter to scout for security systems, and upon seeing you lack one, will resolve to return at a later time.
Don’t let strangers enter your home. Remember that intruders have a lot of experience with tricking people. Some people will simply knock on your door to see whether or not there is a security system installed, and if there isn’t, they may target you later when you’re away.
Secure your garage. Lots of folks are concerned about burglars gaining access to the garage and then the home, but this can be addressed. Simply attach a C-clamp near the roller on the door track.
Listen to your intuition as to whether your system is being installed by a trustworthy home security company. You are giving someone unlimited access to your home, so be sure the installer doesn’t give you a bad vibe. Ask the company to send a different installer or simply change companies. After all, you’re investing in a system that helps you to feel safe, so make sure the process involved in obtaining that system does the same.
When dealing with a company installing your home security system, it is important that you trust your gut. This is very true when you feel uneasy about the person installing the system. Ask the company to send a different installer or simply change companies. At the end of the day, your efforts are so that you feel more comfortable.
Your risks of being the target of home intruders really doesn’t depend on the area in which you live. Some maintain that rural dwellers have greater risk since their neighbors live farther away. Some think rural areas see less burglary.
Regardless of how long you think you’ll be gone, make sure to lock your doors. Many burglaries happen because the intruders can just walk right inside. Once a thief is inside, he can steal a lot of valuables in a short amount of time.
Don’t give outside people the ability to see into your home. While having huge windows may be good for letting in light and viewing what is outside, it also gives potential thieves a good look in your own home. You should cover any windows that are facing the street so your valuables will be safe.
Keep flashlights in your rooms. Having a well-charged flashlight on hand is very beneficial in case of emergency. Your kids should know how to work the flashlights so that everyone can help.
The number one thing you must do if you’re moving into a new place is have the locks changed. Even if the tenants turned their keys in, they may have made copies. It’s easy to install locks, so you can just purchase them at the home improvement store and swap them out to be sure you have the only keys.
If you’re going to hire a company that provides home security, read everything in the contract before you sign it. You need to find out about hidden costs, such as cancellation fees in case you want to cancel your contract before it expires. Be aware of these particular fees so you can steer clear of them.
These tips should help you become knowledgeable about a security system for your home. Learning all you can is key to home security. Use the tips you’ve read here to begin.
