Security is a major deal today. Burglaries happen every day, no matter where you’re living. Insecure homes are a big target. Read on for ideas and insights into protecting your home, your family, and your valuables.
Spare Key
Do you allow your dog to stay in your yard while you are away? You could let your dog carry a spare key. Hook your key to the dog’s collar in a place that is shielded from view. If your dog does not like strangers, this can help ensure consistent access to the house.
Place the spare key that you make on your dog. This is a great idea if your dog is outside all the time, or they can get out through a doggy door. Attach the spare key to your dog’s collar. By doing this, you have a handy spare key whenever you need it.
Do you have an outdoor dog? If so, you can use your dog to hide your spare key. Conceal it in the dog’s collar. If you have a pet that does not trust strangers, this can help you get into your house if needed.
Do not post on your social media accounts regarding when you will be away on vacation. There may be a thief within this list and you would have been inviting him straight through your front door!
Home security systems are able to do more than just sounding the alarm whenever you have an intruder. They can actually be set to chime whenever a monitored door is opened. This can be useful if you’ve got small children that are able to open doors.
Get a good safe to store your valuables in your home. You would hate for your expensive jewelry, personal family belongings, etc. to be stolen in case a burglar breaks into your home. Hide your safe in a place that is hard to get to, like a basement closet or an attic.
Use your garage for your car, not just storage. This will keep it away from thieves and vandals. This will also make it more difficult for burglars to track when you away from home.
Contact the local police department to find out more about the protection programs they offer. They often offer home inspections, seminars and even the ability to purchase items. Call and see what is available.
Those that live in rural area are not as concerned about having their home invaded as those who are located in the city. However, there is the belief that rural dwellers are more susceptible to break ins simply because there are no nearby neighbors. Still there are those that think that burglars are not as likely to target rural areas.
Don’t give outside people the ability to see into your home. Though it is nice to have big windows to get a great view of the outdoors, it is also easier for burglars to look into your home. If your windows are facing the street, make sure you cover them and protect your valuables.
Lock your home when you leave, even if you don’t think you will be away for long. Many burglaries happen because the intruders can just walk right inside. It can be a quick job for a burglar to steal items of great value.
Just moved in? Time for new locks! Regardless of how you feel about the sellers, you never know someone’s true intentions. Keep in mind that there may have been residents prior to that person too.
Be sure to replace rotten wood in the frame of your front door. Anyone hoping to enter your home can very easily do so by just prying away the rotted wood. Always replace rotting wood with fresh wood immediately to keep your house strong and secure.
Replace Rotted Wood
Replace rotted wood that surrounds your door frame. Home invaders interested are able to pry off any rotted wood to get inside. Therefore, replace rotted wood with fresh wood to ensure your home’s safety.
Anytime a security installer comes to the house, make sure they display proper identification. Thieves may say they are from a certain company to get into your home. This can be extremely dangerous to your home and loved ones. Be cautious to stay safe.
Get flashlights with good batteries, and have them in each room in case you lose power. Having a well-charged flashlight on hand is very beneficial in case of emergency. If you have kids, teach them how to properly use the flashlights so everyone in the family can help out during a power outage.
Landscape around your home with an eye to safety. Don’t provide burglars with cover by planting big shrubs in front of your doors and windows. Intruders should have nowhere to hide near your home. Keep landscaping away from your house for safety reasons.
If you hire a security company, read any fine print. Sometimes, hidden costs can be incurred if you get rid of the service before a certain date. You are going to want to avoid these kinds of hidden fees, so know about them up front.
Home security is an extremely important topic. Home intrusions can happen at any time. By using the information you’ve just read, you can make a more secure home environment. Don’t procrastinate. Do something about the security of your house before it’s too late.
