Many people want to secure their home. Burglaries are rampant in all areas of the country. Thieves pick houses that appear to be easy targets. Use the information below to make sure that you are keeping your family, as well as your possessions, safe and sound.
While a lock that can be secured inside are good, it is useless if you cannot also lock it after you are outside. The best lock that you can choose are deadbolt locks, and the ones that have keys on both sides so that it cannot be opened by thieves are the ultimate choice.
Replace any non-metal or non-wood door immediately. Those are the most durable materials available. Few people can kick down such a door. Make sure to replace exterior doors for the cheapest amount possible.
Be sure and keep the outside of your house well lit. Darkness allows for all sorts of nefarious activities. The most important parts of your home to light are all of its potential access points. Over doors, near windows and especially your back yard need to be lit.
Be very careful about what goes in your trash. Placing empty boxes of expensive electronics or other pricey items outside tells possible thieves what you have inside your home. Even just buying a nice, shiny new appliance means that your home contains expensive items worth a thief’s time.
If you always turn your lights on or off at the same time, use a timer. This helps the lights stay on and continue to switch even when you’re away from your home.
Home protection program details may be available at your police station. There are plenty of things that can be done, from a safety walk to cataloging expensive items to help protect your investment and your family. Call the local police department and inquire as to what programs they offer.
Make sure that your home’s smoke detectors are part of a unified system. These alarms are linked together. When one goes off, they all go off. In this way, you can rest assured you will know about potential hazards. You will be able to take immediate action to not only contain the fire, but to also get your family to safety.
Keep safety at the forefront when landscaping your property. Doors and windows should not be obstructed by trees, plants or shrubs. If criminals know you can see them, they are less likely to break in. Utilize shrubs and trees farther away in order to add beauty to your home while keeping it safe.
Be certain to read the entire contract when you hire a home security firm. Sometimes, hidden costs can be incurred if you get rid of the service before a certain date. These are costs you’ll want to avoid.
Only provide your house cleaner with a key if you trust him or her implicitly. Only select service people who are totally trustworthy. Check their references fully. If you hire a cleaner from a company, then you should check the company with the BBB.
Think about getting a wireless security system for the home. Systems that are wired can be a little cheaper, but may need significant reworking of your home’s electrical wiring and can fail in a power outage. On the other hand, wireless systems use their own power and have easier installations.
Although the nosey neighbor is often considered a nuisance, as a homeowner it can be valuable to forge relationships with gossipy types. You never know who might be watching when someone is sneaking around your home. Maintaining cordial relations can put you in the loop and give you access to potentially critical security info.
Rotting Wood
When moving into a new home, you should always change the locks. Anybody could have a copy of the keys that open your locks. A new lock system means that only you and your loved ones have access. Change the locks if you lose the keys.
Replace rotten wood on your door frame. Rotting wood is easy to remove and take apart if someone is trying to get in. Replace rotting wood with fresh wood to improve your home’s security.
Having a dog that has a scary bark is helpful. Burglars are often deterred from homes with scary sounding dogs, as they want to avoid bites and attacks. Owning a dog not only offers a great companion, but a built in alarm system, too.
Walls are the perfect place to hide. Small valuables fit nicely inside walls. You could use a phone jack, electrical outlet or a switch plate. If you have no unused plates, you can easily install false ones.
You as well as your loved ones deserve a secure home. Crime always strikes whenever it is least expected. Keep what you’ve read here in mind, and go make your home more secure than it is. This should be done as soon as possible. Take care of this important matter now.
