Something bad can happen at any time, and you’ll never expect it. Don’t take any chances with protecting your home if you can do something about it. The article below contains tips and tricks to help you create a secure environment for yourself and your family.
Purchase flashlights that have good batteries, and keep them in every room in your home in case the power goes out. Having a well-charged flashlight on hand is very beneficial in case of emergency. Keep in mind that your family might be separated during a power outage, and make sure you children know where to find and how to use your flashlights.
Do not store your car registration documents in your glove compartment. These documents contain a lot of sensitive personal data, like your home address. Keep them in your wallet or in another safe place in your car. Remember, you do need to be able to access them quickly if you get pulled over by a policeman.
The number one thing you must do if you’re moving into a new place is have the locks changed. Although it’s normal for owners / tenants to surrender their keys when they leave, there’s no way of knowing who else might have copies. You might even purchase and install your own locks so that you are assured of having the only keys.
Before letting someone from a security company into a house, get some sort of official identification. It is easy for potential thieves to present themselves as representatives of a company in order to gain access to your home. This situation presents danger to your home, family and belongings. Use caution to stay out of danger.
Don’t use your birthday as the passcode for a keypad lock. A thief can easily find this information out. Instead, make it a number which you can figure out through a math equation so you remember the equation instead of the number.
Always check references before letting anyone work on your home. Run a criminal background check on them, as well. You do not know if the people you hire are trustworthy, so do not give them a key to your home.
Motion Detectors
If you often turn your lights off/on around the same time, consider using a timer. They will go on when you need them, plus they’ll also go on when you’re not home.
You can make your home safer by investing in some motion detectors and outside lights. At night, not only will these lights be handy to light up areas around your home,they are also a cost-effective and efficient security addition. Properly-situated motion detectors will give your home a complete field of protection and make it impossible for a miscreant to approach undetected.
Always go over the small print on contracts offered by your home security company. Look out for hidden charges and surprises, especially if you need to cancel the contract early. You should avoid these fees as much as you can; therefore, you need to know of their existence.
If your family room window is facing the street, keep the curtains drawn every night. You want to avoid having people peek through the window. If criminals can clearly view what’s going on in your house, it makes it easier for them to commit crimes. Make sure and minimize what is visible to the public so as to reduce the likelihood of becoming a target.
Having your home lit up and bright at night is a great deterrent to crooks. They prefer not to be seen. It makes it look like you are home and makes it difficult for thieves to hide. Keep your lights turned on during the night.
Always use online resources to identify the very best home security firm. Review different websites and review comments from previous customers. With that information, you can make your appointments with the top three companies you’ve chosen so that you can compare pricing and look at specific monitoring and plans.
Turn off ringers on land line phones while you are on vacation. A home phone that rings and rings is a good way for a potential thief to know if anyone is home.
Perform landscaping for your home which enhances your home’s safety. Doors and windows should not be obstructed by trees, plants or shrubs. If they can be seen, potential burglars will not be able to use them as hiding places before breaking in. This will give your home additional safety.
You never know when someone might target your home. Instead of just hoping it will not happen to you, take the steps to secure your home. Keep these tips in mind when researching more about protecting your home from crime.
When you have valuable possessions like computers, televisions, art or costly items, avoid placing them in sight of windows. If someone sees them through your window, they may be tempted to steal them.
