Do you feel overwhelmed just thinking about home security systems? Do you feel like you don’t even know where to start? If you identify with this, think about your different options. Read this article to learn about your home security options.
Make sure that your key is in a hidden place. A fake rock or flower pot are simply too easy to guess. A doormat is obvious, and a burglar is sure to look there. A safer option is entrusting a neighbor or one of your most trusted friends to keep your spare key. If that isn’t an option, be creative with a hiding spot.
Dogs are an excellent way to protect your home. Dogs protect your home by barking if something is wrong. A big, vicious guard dog isn’t necessary. Even tiny dogs that make a ton of noise will deter a potential crime.
If you bought any big or expensive things, wait until trash day to throw away the boxes. You are alerting thieves that there is something worth stealing inside your home.
If you move to a dwelling that has had prior occupants, make sure you get the locks changed. Previous tenants may have given the keys back to the landlord, but it is always possible to make copies of keys. If you own, you can have the locks replaced and only you will have had the key.
Don’t give the keys to your home to a professional cleaner unless you trust them completely. If you plan on giving them the key so that they can work in your home for over an hour, make sure that they’re reputable, hardworking, and honest. Make sure you check references. If you are using a cleaning firm, make sure it has an excellent Better Business Bureau rating.
Anything Suspicious
Neighborhood gossip does not always have to be tedious and immature. These individuals are aware when anything suspicious happens in the neighborhood and can alert you if strangers have been hanging around. Stay on their good side and they will be sure to let you know if they see anything suspicious.
You should mute your land line phone if you are going on a vacation. If the phone rings without you there, burglars will suspect that you’re not home, and that can make your home a target for an attack while you’re gone.
Do not buy spring latch locks. These locks can easily be picked within a couple of minutes. An intruder has only to press the card into the doorjamb between latch and the door and the lock will pop open. If you already have spring latch locks, install a deadbolt for added security.
Rotted Wood
Having a big, scary dog around does has its benefits. Burglars don’t want to get bitten or attacked. Therefore, consider owning a large dog so your home can be protected from burglaries. Just make sure this dog won’t attack your family!
If there is any rotted wood around your door frame, replace it. If a person wants to enter your home, rotted wood can easily be pried away. Be sure and replace rotted wood with fresh wood in order to ensure home safety.
Keeping thieves from the contents of your garage can be as simple as making sure they can’t easily look inside. Be sure and shade your windows with window frosting, something that you can purchase at any hardware store, so as to keep people from looking in your house. Don’t leave your front door unlocked or standing open when you are working in the garage or yard.
Consider hiding valuables within your walls. It is not necessary to cut out pieces from your wall. Most homes are pre-equipped with these handy spaces. How about unwiring your electric socket and using that as an area to stash your jewelry?
Women are targeted for robbery more often, particularly if they have children or they live alone. Put muddy boots on the doorstep so that it appears there is a big man that lives in your home. This can deter criminals from going into your home.
If you purchase pricey, new electronics, don’t place empty boxes on the curb. Burglars will see those boxes and realize that there are valuable things in your home for them to get. Cut the boxes and wait until the garbage truck comes to put them outside.
Purchase a safe to lock all of the extremely valuable items in your home in one place. If an intruder breaks into your home, at least these valuables will be secure. Keep the safe hidden in a hard-to-find location like an attic or a basement closet.
Do you have a dog that stays in your yard when you’re not at home? You might consider leaving your spare key with your dog. Conceal it in the dog’s collar. If your dog is suspicious of strangers, you have found a good hiding place for your key.
After reading this, you should now understand how to secure your home. Consider the advice presented here as you prepare your home in a safer and more secure way. You will feel a lot better and probably avoid some stressful situations once you have a reliable home security system installed.
Few security measures are more powerful deterrents to thieves than video cameras. Burglars with masks like you see in movies are not really the norm. A lot of home burglars do not wear masks due to the fact that they don’t intend to allow anyone to see them. That means that they will avoid cameras at all costs.
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.
