Something tragic or bad can and will occur when you do not expecting it. You don’t want to put yourself in danger because you’ve failed to have a plan for protection. Read on to find some excellent tips to make your home safe and free of criminals.
Always have the locks after moving into a new home. You simply do not know how many keys by the former owner. Do the same thing if you misplace a key.
Above a door frame or under a mat are much too common to hide them and potential criminals will check them first. One good place to hide a spare key is in the collar of your outdoor dog.
Don’t open up your door if a stranger is on the other side. People often think of ways to trick others to open up their doors so that they can commit burglary or worse. Make sure everyone in your home are only opened for expected visitors.
There is a way to prevent burglars going into their home through the garage. You can use a C-clamp to stop the door from being opened by strangers.
Local Police
See what your local police offer when it comes to home protection programs. Many police departments offer programs that can include home inspections, like on self-defense or other things related to your home. Call the local police department and inquire as to what is available.
Put motion-sensor lights around your house. These are lights will turn on whenever any living thing gets too closely to your home. Make sure you keep fresh light bulbs in your motion activated lights so that they continue to work correctly.
Don’t put your spare key under doormats or in a planter. These are the first places criminals will look when they try to enter your key. Thieves are familiar with these spots.
Replace rotten wood around any door frame that is rotting. An intruder can simply pry away that rotted wood easily to open the door. Replace the rotting wood with new one and keep your home much safer.
If the home you are moving into is not brand new, make sure you get the locks changed. The person who used to live there may still have made some copies of the key.You can also put the locks yourself so you can be sure no one else has a key.
Check references carefully before letting them come into your home.You should do background check as well to find out about their criminal history. You can’t always be sure that maids, service workers or contractors are honest, or repairman that you’ve hired is trustworthy and handing them your keys could be a costly mistake.
Keep safety in mind when landscaping your property.If you have them visible, they won’t offer hiding places to potential criminals. This should be planned in advance for your home additional safety.
Ask your home security company how long they’ve been in business before you sign up for service. Companies in business for many years.Knowing you are not dealing with a fly by night company can keep you calm when making this important decision.
Exterior Areas
Keep your home’s exterior areas well lit. Burglars prefer the cover that night provides their crimes.Be sure all vulnerable exterior areas of your home.This can include garages, doorways, porches, and ground floor windows that criminals can use.
Make sure that your address numbers are visible from the street. If you have an emergency, the police will not be able to find your home as quickly if these numbers are too small or are obscured in some way.
You can instead get key-less locks without keys that need a code. You can even install them yourself or you can hire a home security firm.
It is very hard to predict criminal activities, so you never know when your home has become a target. Rather than just counting on luck, do what is necessary to protect your own home. Use these tips, plus your own research, to give your home protection from burglars.
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.
