It is crucial that you change the locks as soon as you move into a new residence. You will want to have a unique combination to stay secure. To make sure no one else can get into your home, call a locksmith. Be sure to cal a locksmith if you were to lose your keys as well.
Put your spare key on your dog. This is only true if yours in an outdoor dog, or your house is equipped with a doggie door. Place a spare key on the collar, and when you really need a spare, you know where to go!
Get a good safe to store your valuables in your home. You can’t have your valuable personal items and jewelry out in the open for anyone to see. Hide your safe in a place that is hard to get to, like a basement closet or an attic.
When you’re going away, turn off your phone ringers. If the phone rings when you are away, burglars will know there’s nobody home, making the house vulnerable to a break-in when you are out.
You should only provide a house cleaner your key if you completely trust them. Be sure any home cleaner you give your key to is trustworthy and reputable. Carefully check their references. If applicable, call the BBB to inquire about their reputation.
You never want to open up a door to a stranger without proper identification. Folks are always thinking up new schemes to get people to open the door so that they can commit their crimes. Only open the door for people you are expecting.
Remove old plants and debris from your yard. As the summer heat rolls in, there is a higher chance that these can catch on fire, putting your home at risk. Make sure your yard is clean for the sake of your safety – and that of your family!
You should never open your door to someone you do not know. Burglars are getting creative, and they will do anything they can to gain access to your home. Keep a hard, fast rule that says you only open the door for invited guests in order to keep your family safe.

Store your car in the garage if you have it. If your car is in your garage there is less of a chance to vandalize or steal it. If you keep your car in the garage instead of in the driveway, it is harder for thieves to know whether you are at home or not.
Meet with representatives from the security company you are considering to determine if they are trustworthy. This is definitely the case if you’re not quite sure about the actual installation people. It’s your home, and you are free to hire any company you like. Remember that every aspect of your home security system should support you in feeling more secure.
Hide valuables in spaces in your walls. You don’t have to cut out pieces of the wall to do this. Many areas in your house are already accessible for this purpose. How about unwiring an electricity socket and using it as cover for a place to stash valuable jewelry?
You can hide things in your walls. Concealing small valuables in your walls is an easy and highly effective way to protect them. Just take advantage of the phone jack, electrical outlet or unused switch plate. You put in a fake plate if there aren’t any unused in your home.
You never want people to be able to see your valuables from outside of your home. If you have big windows near your big entertainment system, it can seem like an invitation to thieves. If your windows face a street, be sure they’re always covered and have your valuables safe.
Now is the time to put this advice into action. Don’t hesitate so you can keep the ideas learned here fresh in your mind. Use them to help create your own ideas so that you can better secure your house. You will find that you sleep better when you feel safer, so don’t delay!
