Do you want to make your home more secure? Home security is a wise choice. You can’t be too careful when it’s your family. You should use all the knowledge you have when it come to keeping your home and family safe. Continue reading to learn some excellent security strategies you can utilize in your own home.
Don’t give your keys to a house cleaner unless you totally trust them. Be sure any home cleaner you give your key to is trustworthy and reputable. Check their references fully. If the cleaner is from a firm, try calling the local BBB to find out about the firm’s reputation.
Have your dog protect the spare key. However, this method is only effective if your dog is large, scary, and stays outdoors. Place the alternative key on your dog’s collar in case of an emergency.
A spare key must be carefully hidden and not in the obvious spots that a person might think. Avoid cliched hiding places like over the door frame or beneath the doormat. Experienced criminals will check these places immediately. A better place to keep your key is inside your outside dog’s collar.
Social networking sites are great for keeping in touch, but post information sparingly. For example, you might avoid broadcasting when you are going out of town, especially if your friends list contains casual acquaintances. This can indicate that your home will be free and vulnerable during the time.
Don’t talk about your vacations on social media. Although it’s fun to talk about, posting it online makes it more possible for criminals to find out when you’re gone.
TIP! Before selecting any home-security company, talk to your friends to see who they suggest. You can learn a lot from people who have already dealt with these companies.
Do not let people you don’t know in your house. Remember that intruders have a lot of experience with tricking people. There are people that just want to go into your home to see if you’ve got a type of home security system, and if they see that you don’t, they’ll return when you’re not home.
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. Be sure that everyone in your home knows not to open the door to strangers and unexpected visitors.

If you’re going on a trip for an extended period of time, switch the ringer off on all home phones. A constantly ringing phone can signal to a burglar that the house is vacant, making it an easy target for their criminal activities.
TIP! You never want to open up a door to a stranger without proper identification. You have no way of knowing if the stranger on the other side of the door wishes to do you harm.
Security System
You should regularly check your home security system, regardless of how reliable you believe it is. A security professional should visit to help with the testing process. Mother Nature and wild animals can also cause issues with your home security system. It’s quite possible for there to be a fault in your system even if you can’t see it.
You need to be sure the attached garage of yours is secure. There is a way to stop thieves from entering your home from the garage. A C-clamp is very useful for garage doors that lift on tracks. It will prevent garage doors from opening up whenever it is near the roller and is tight on the track.
TIP! Annual check-ups are important for alarm systems. This is a job for professionals; get a security firm to inspect your equipment.
Those living in rural areas often don’t worry as much about intruders compared to city dwellers. With neighbors so far away, it may seem like a tiny risk. Others feel rural residents have a lower risk of being burglarized.
No one should be able to see your valuables from outside. Large windows let in a lot of light, but they also allow outsiders to see inside your living space. Keep your windows covered and your belongings private.
Be sure to replace rotten wood in the frame of your front door. Rotted wood causes a serious weakness in your home’s security because it makes it easy to pry open doors. Find a reliable contractor who can replace the door frame for you.
TIP! The Internet is great for searching for home security companies, so use it to your advantage. Look at various sites and read customer testimonials, along with details on various packages.
Hide your security system’s wiring. If the wires are exposed, an intruder can bypass the system by cutting its wires. Instead, make sure the wires are hidden. This will add security.
Your home will never be 100% safe from threat. You can really tilt the odds in your favor pretty heavily. You have been provided with some helpful hints concerning home security. Use them in order to ensure that you do all that can be done to secure your home.
Ask your home security company about coming to your residence and creating a system that is tailored to your personal needs. Each situation is different. Doing this helps you get the best security you can get from the company, helping you to relax.
TIP! If you arrive home and you see that your door is ajar, never enter to investigate on your own. Your home and the area surrounding it may still be in danger.
Home Security Service: The Mini Magnetic Contact Alarm and Chime (4 Pack) uses a magnetic sensor to detect the opening of a protected door or window.
