If you are woman who is single or mother who needs peace of mind in your home, you may be very concerned about home security. Instead of remaining afraid, you can take steps to feel better. Read the article below to learn about home security.
Only provide your house cleaner with a key if you trust him or her implicitly. Anyone you give the keys to your home to should be unarguably honest. Go over their references and do some background research on the company they work for. If applicable, call the BBB to inquire about their reputation.
Although inside locks are extremely useful, their usefulness is limited whenever it is not possible to lock it outside. Use a deadbolt which has a key on the outside and inside for the best security.
Women are targets for thieves, especially those with kids. Try placing big, muddy boots on your front step to create the illusion of a big, active man living there. This will give criminals second thoughts and make your home a less tempting target.
Outdoor lights are great for improving security, but the concept can be taken a step further with lights equipped with motion sensors. It only comes on if a human comes near. This will freak out a criminal! They know they’ve been seen and they will run.
Keeping thieves from the contents of your garage can be as simple as making sure they can’t easily look inside. Frost your windows so people cannot look inside your home. Don’t leave the door unlocked for a long time, either.
Do not be shy. Talk to your neighbors and those on your block. Ask them to keep an eye on your home, and do the same thing for them. Don’t ignore any gossip either. Important security details (like the presence of strangers in your neighborhood) can come out of the most innocent conversations.
If you have valuable items that cannot be replaced, you must keep them under lock and key. This may include things like pictures of your children, heirloom jewelry or birth certificates. Floor safes are great for keeping items secure in your home. You could also look into getting a bank safe deposit box.
Keep blinds, shades, and curtains closed when you’re not home. If you don’t, others can look in and see that the property is currently unoccupied. It could be enticing to break in if they notice something that’s nice. You ought to keep them drawn while you are asleep.
Search for a company that offers more than just installing a home security system. A professional security company will make safety recommendations during their visit to your home. These might include adding extra locks, trimming back bushes or installing more secure windows. You want to make sure your company truly cares about your security, and they will discuss these types of things with you if they do.
Set up a timer to turn your lights off and on at regular intervals. A timer will prevent the need of flipping the switch. In addition, it will help ensure the lights keep turning themselves on and off when you are not home. This will help deter potential burglars.
A stranger in need of help is not always a welcome visitor at the front door. In all too many cases, this scenario has led to a home invasion by a duplicitous criminal who is only looking to get easy access. If you don’t know the person on the other side of the door, don’t open it. You can call for help for them if necessary. You can then choose to call the number given or call officers of the law, or both.
Do not store your vehicle registration documents in your car’s glove compartment. The reason is that anyone who sees them will immediately have your home address. Keep these papers on you or hide them under a seat in your vehicle. They must still be easily accessible should you be stopped by police.
In the summer, remove all the dead trees from your yard. These could catch on fire during the summer, especially if you live in a dry area. Regularly clear away your yard to keep your home in good standing and safe for your family.
Don’t leave toys outside when not in use. When thieves see toys in the yard, they assume women live in the home. Homes where women live are more targeted since their jewelry is usually more valuable than those of men.
You don’t have to break the bank on security equipment in order to protect your family. You can utilize easier and cheaper methods of keeping your home safe. Keep the tips you learned from this article in mind, and you will be on your way to being safer right in your own home.
