You probably want to feel safe in your home, whether you own it or you rent it. It is likely that you aren’t aware of small things that can be done in order to protect yourself and your living space. Thankfully, the below article will help. Make sure you save this article after you are done so that you can keep referring it throughout your decision making process.
When it comes to security, sliding doors aren’t very safe. They can be unlocked with a bit if jiggling. A piece of pipe or wood (e.g. a hefty broomstick) cut to the proper length and used to block the door channel can provide affordable security if you don’t have an alarm system. This holds the door firmly in position. Even if the lock is broken, the door will still be held closed.
Keep your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors well cleaned. The sensors in the detector can be compromised by an accumulation of dirt and dust. Your detectors will be much less effective at protecting the home from carbon monoxide and smoke.
The windows on the second floor of your house should always be locked. Many folks forget this point and believe that burglars will not bother with those windows. This isn’t so. This is often a weak area that criminals know about.
Deadbolts with captive keylocks are the best locks on the market. They have a thumb latch ensuring that reaching through a window won’t unlock the door. Anytime you are home, keep the key inside the lock in case you need to exit your home during an emergency, like a fire.
Look at home security companies that have more than just security systems. A good company will be sure to visit the house and give recommendations about what you can do to further keep your family out of harm’s way. Your home security service could, for instance, help you replace your doors, find better locks for your windows or trimming some bushes that are near your home. This comprehensive solution will help keep robbers at bay by limiting their access to your home.
Women have a higher chance of home invasion, particularly if they are known to live alone or with kids. Therefore, consider putting large boots on the front step of your home to make burglars believe a manly man lives in the room. This will drive away thieves.
While locks which are sealed up on the inside are dandy, if you can’t lock it from the outside, it won’t be of much use. One of the most secure locks is a deadbolt that has a key to lock it from both sides of the door and cannot be opened by an intruder.
The right to hold a weapon will help you in protecting yourself from an intruder. Look into gun training, and get one to have just to be sure. You’ll have more peace of mind knowing you have some protection in the home.
Big, scary dogs are great security. A large, vocal dog is an unwelcome sight to would-be home invaders. A big dog can be a great burglar deterrent for your home.
Refrain from buying a security system from a re-seller. This is because a re-seller might not give you the same level of service that the company will. If you get your product from the company, you will avoid a ton of fees.
No one should be able to see your valuables from outside. A big front window gives you a good view; however, it also gives burglars a good view of the interior of your house. By reducing visibility into your home, you protect your belongings, safety, and you improve the interior beauty of your home.
Burglars and thieves may target your external wiring. Copper is quite valuable. Hide your wires so thieves don’t attempt to steal it.
Regardless of who may have lived in your house before you, it is important to change all of the locks. Always make sure that the lock is switched at least once a year.
When choosing an alarm system, consider one that offers protection for more than just your doors. Your windows should also be protected because burglars can also break into them. Be certain they are also alarmed and monitored. This is the pinnacle of safety.
Avoid letting people outside see inside your home. If you can see a big screen tv or computer from outside your home, a thief can see it too. Put up window coverings so that anything of value is hidden from outside view. If you cannot do this, have valuables in a room that is not visible.
Now that you have a better understanding of home security, it is time to get started. Stop wasting time, and put these ideas in motion. These ideas will no doubt help you come up with a few of your own. You’ll find that you’ll sleep much better with the comfort of a secure home.
After making major (i.e. expensive) purchases, don’t dump the packaging out front if your next scheduled garbage pick-up is several days away. Having these type of boxes hanging around will give robbers a good idea of what type of merchandise you have inside of your home.
