Keep Your Family Safe With These Home Security Tips

You probably know someone personally who has had his home burglarized at one point in the past. Paying a little extra attention to home security is never a bad idea. Burglaries can happen anywhere. This piece discusses measures you can take to boost security at home.

Use your garage for your car, not just storage. This will keep it away from thieves and vandals. Hiding it will help to deter people from tracking the times you aren’t there.

Create the illusion that your home is constantly occupied. Buy timers so that lights, radios, TVs and all other electronics turn on and off at various times. This makes it look as though people are home no matter what. This is just one of the many precautions you can take to secure your home.

TIP! Your dog can keep your spare house key for you. This approach is useful if your dog is a large breed that lives outdoor, or if your house has a doggy door.

If you live more out in the country, you may think that you’re not at risk. Some think residents of the country are even more vulnerable because there are no close neighbors. Not everyone believes this, though.

If you come to your home and discover that your door has been left open, avoid investigating by yourself. This is dangerous because the thief may be right inside. Get on the phone to the authorities immediately.

When you buy a new home, be sure to have the locks changed. You don’t know who might have a key. Have a locksmith install a brand new lock. This is also a good idea in the event that you misplace your keys.

TIP! Let a house cleaner have your keys only if they can provide you with references so you can verify their trustworthiness. When giving your house cleaner the key to your home, you need to be sure that they are reputable and honest.

Security System

You should think about getting a home security system that is wireless. A wired system should be less expensive but you might have to spend your money on getting your home rewired. A wireless security system is easy to install and take care of. Additionally, this type of system is not dependent upon the electrical system of the home.

Is your dog outside even if you are away? You might consider leaving your spare key with your dog. Put it on their collar. This is very effective if your pet is afraid of strangers; therefore, burglars are not very likely to notice the key.

TIP! Home security systems offer other triggering features besides having an alarm sound. The majority of systems will give an audible alert when someone enters the house.

A paper shredder can be a good security investment. Your trash contains so much personal information a thief would love to have. If you cannot afford a paper shredder, rip papers up into small pieces.

When you are away on vacation have a house sitter bring in your mail and any flyers and newspapers that accumulate in front of your house. Canny burglars will often produce and distribute their own fliers so that they can see whether or not anyone takes them down. If the flier stays in place, the burglar knows that the homeowner is out on vacation.

If your home has a lot of valuable items inside, then you need to purchase a safe so that all of these items can be kept in a single location. This is essential, because you would never want valuable jewelry and other items to be seen by intruders. Hide your safe in a place that is hard to get to, like a basement closet or an attic.

TIP! Compare different systems when looking into home security. Each company has different rates for their security system.

Consider installing a surveillance system. This will allow you to see who is around your house. Also, you can capture the intruder in the act. A lot of surveillance systems may be accessed through a cell phone, letting you check on your house when you’re away.

The best method to maintain a thief from going into the garage is making sure nobody can see inside. Frosted windows will keep a burglar from being able to see inside. The material needed to do this can be found at home improvement stores. If you use your garage for working on projects, don’t forget to lock it when you’re through working for the day.

Don’t just hide your spare key anywhere. Too many people put their extra key under the mat in front of their door; burglars know to check there. Instead, try hiding a key on the collar of an outside dog.

TIP! Buy ceiling, roofing and flooring which is resistant to fire. This can help your home be safer.

Avoid opening the door if you don’t know who is standing on the other side. People often think of ways to trick others into letting them in so they can steal from them. Only open the door for people you are expecting.

Attached Garage

Remove old plants and debris from your yard. These can quickly become fire hazards when hit by direct sunlight, placing your house at risk. Keep these cleared away regularly to maintain your home’s safety and to keep it in good shape.

TIP! If the door isn’t solid wood or metal, then replace it with a door that is. Metal or solid wood doors cannot be broken.

Be sure to secure your attached garage. Many people worry about burglars getting into their attached garage and then entering their home, but there is a fix. Simply attach a C-clamp near the roller on the door track.

Do not assume you are safe from home burglaries. Any home which is simple to get into can be a target. If you follow the tips written in this guide, you will surely be able to protect your house from unwanted intruders.

Find out if you can get motion sensitive lighting from your security company. This system will cause the lights to flicker on when someone walks up to your home. This can deter potential thieves, as well as offer extra security while you enter your home.

TIP! A home security system can be really nice, but it’s only completely effective if someone notifies the police. The smart thing to do is to get an alarm that is centrally monitored.
