Most people don’t know enough about the important topic of home security. You have to know all you can to really be secure. Give this section a read for tips on home security.
Is your dog outside even if you are away? Your pet might just be the perfect place to stash a spare key to your home. Simply put the key onto your dog’s collar so that robbers cannot locate it. This is quite effective if your pet does not respond well to strangers.
Is your dog kept outside when you are away? They can help you with your spare key. Secure the key on the inside of the dog’s collar. This is very effective if your pet is afraid of strangers; therefore, burglars are not very likely to notice the key.
Don’t just hide your spare key anywhere. Doormats and door frames are predictable places that burglars will always check. You should hide it in your dog’s collar.
Your flooring and roofing should be fire resistant. This adds an extra layer of protection to your home, especially if you live in a very dry area with power lines. Keeping fire hazards away is a great safety precaution since fire can cause lots of destruction.
Make sure to use caution when deciding if and where to hide an extra key outside of your home. Hiding it beneath the doormat is very common and most intruders will look there. One idea is to hide your key inside the collar of your outdoor dog.
Garage Doors
Secure your attached garage. You can prevent this from happening easily. 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.
See what the local police offer when it comes to home protection programs. Many have quite a few helpful programs that you take, like on self-defense or other things related to your home. These programs can make a big difference to the security of your home, and they may just be a phone call away.
Find a home security company you can trust. This is especially important when it comes to the company employees who will be installing your system. Ask the company to send a different installer or simply change companies. Remember, the new security apparatus is meant to make you feel safe and secure.
Alter the locks and the keys when you change homes. Although the previous owner should not have a key, there is no way for you to know this. You can install locks yourself to make sure you’re the only one who has a key.
Place your valuables in cut-outs in your walls. You don’t have to cut out pieces of the wall to do this. There are many spots in your home that already have areas that are pre-cut. Remove the wires from an electric socket you do not use so you can hide your valuable jewelry.
Security Company
If you scheduled an appointment for a member of the security company to come to your house, ask them to show you some identification first. Thieves often pose as security company representatives in order to enter homes and look for valuables. This could be quite dangerous. Be cautious to stay away from those potential dangers.
If you buy expensive electronics or appliances, throw the packages away the day that your trash pickup occurs. Letting such packaging sit out will signal to criminals that there are good things to be found in your house.
Don’t let any service people into your home without checking their references completely. You should do a background check as well to find out their criminal history. You never know if the maid, repairman or contractor you hire is on the up and up, and letting them in or giving them a key could be a fatal mistake.
When about to sign a contract with any home security firm, read all the small print. You need to find out about hidden costs, such as cancellation fees in case you want to cancel your contract before it expires. You are going to want to avoid these kinds of hidden fees, so know about them up front.
Do you know how valuable the wires within your home are? Many people never realize this value until wires are stolen right out of their home. The reason they are valuable is because of their copper. A burglar can easily strip off your wires from the outside of your home very quickly. This is why the wiring should be hidden or difficult to get to.
Keep your home’s exterior areas illuminated well. It will be easier for intruders to keep an eye on you and approach your home if they can hide in the dark. Install a light in any area a potential intruder can get into your home. Over doors, near windows and especially your back yard need to be lit.
Purchase a paper shredder to prevent your discarded papers from providing burglars with valuable information. Thieves can get lots of information simply by looking through your trash. If you cannot afford a paper shredder, rip papers up into small pieces.
Landscape around your home with an eye to safety. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing your doors and windows. If criminals know you can see them, they are less likely to break in. Keep landscaping away from your house for safety reasons.
You might think that your home is secure. Surprisingly, though, very few people are aware of the steps that must be taken to protect their home and valuables. Hopefully, this article can be a great resource on how to secure your home 24 hours a day.
