Do you understand how home security systems work? If you believe you are clueless on this topic, you should educate yourself on it. This could be a costly addition to your home, so you need to be well informed. The article below will help.
Even if the former homeowners seem pleasant, you should still replace all of the locks when you move in. This is also true when it comes to rental homes. Ask the landlord if they can switch your locks or obtain a locksmith so that you can do it yourself.
A good security system has many more features than sounding the alarm during a break-in. They often even alert you to any time a door is opened. This is a valuable safety feature for parents of small children since they know if their child has exited the home.
Choose an alarm which monitors other areas outside your doors. Your windows are easy entry points for crooks too. Have alarms installed for each window and any other entry point. Do this to keep you and your family safe.
Consider changing your locks as a part of your home security program. Maybe you’ve had a roommate leave or a bitter ex-lover, so changing the locks can keep you safer. It does not cost much, and can be handled very quickly.
Spring Latch Locks
Do not use spring latch locks on your doors. These type of lock is the easiest lock to pick, it could even be opened by a credit card. Intruders just have to slide a card in between the latch and door for the lock to pop open. If your doors sport spring latch locks, add deadbolts to beef up security.
During summer, remove your landscape’s dead vegetation and wood. This sort of thing is a fire hazard in the heat of summer. Keep your yard clear so it is a safe area.
Keep flashlights in your rooms. Flashlights are very important, as they will give you the ability to move around in the event of an emergency. Make sure each member of your family knows where the flashlights are and how to operate them.
Conceal valuable spaces within your walls. You do not need to remove segments from your walls. There should be pre-cut spaces throughout your home that will suffice. Perhaps you could deactivate a few unused electrical sockets to use as a place to store stuff.
Beware giving keys to your maid unless the service has your absolute trust. Anyone you give the keys to your home to should be unarguably honest. Carefully check their references. If you hire a cleaner who works for a company, speak with your local BBB about the company’s reliability.
Security System
Regardless of the quality of your home security system, you need to have it checked each year. Make certain the security company you choose provides for regular inspections. Many different things can make problems for your security system. If the problem cannot be seen, you probably won’t even realize there is one.
You can hide things in your walls. Concealing small valuables in your walls is an easy and highly effective way to protect them. Use an old switch plate, outlet or phone jack. You can easily install fake unused plates.
Keep your car in the garage. If your car is in your garage there is less of a chance to vandalize or steal it. If you keep your car in the garage instead of in the driveway, it is harder for thieves to know whether you are at home or not.
If you own a ladder and keep it in a shed, lock that shed door! This pretty much means you are allowing the burglar an entrance into the second story of your home. Keep all the devices they could use to go up, such as building supplies and trash cans, and place them in a secure place.
Take to your security company, and find out if they have motion activated lights. This is a common offering from most companies. These lights, affixed to your home’s exterior, illuminate whenever anyone comes within range. This can provide extra security when you enter your house, and can also hinder an intruder.
You should not be shy. Get to know other people who live next door and others in your neighborhood. Watch their houses, and ask if they’d do the same. Listen for gossip too. You may stumble across valuable security information, like if someone has noticed a stranger lurking around the neighborhood.
Be very careful about what goes in your trash. If you have newly purchased electronics, a burglar will take not of the boxes you’ve thrown away. Always break down boxes and place them in a dark bag so people passing by your home on trash day can not see.
You need a home security system. You can make a huge difference in your home’s security by putting in cameras whether they’re concealed or out in the open. Visible cameras have a deterrent effect, and if they are disabled, hidden cameras can capture the events that unfold. Some security systems are accessible via mobile phone, which lets you look in on your house when away.
Are you feeling a bit better informed on the subject of home security? The more knowledge you have, the easier time you will have of it. The information presented here should serve you well; keep it in mind when you set out to make your home more secure.
