Homeowners must assume the serious responsibility of home safety. While you might think that getting an alarm is all you need, think again. There are many things you can do to make your house secure. Continue reading to learn more about how you can keep your home safe.
Your home should always look like it is occupied. Buy timers so that lights, radios, TVs and all other electronics turn on and off at various times. This will give the appearance that someone is at your house at all times. That means burglars will pass right by.
Be sure your home appears to always be occupied. You can purchase timers that can control your household electronics such as lights, TVs and radios. This will make your home look like someone is in it. This is just one of the many precautions you can take to secure your home.
It is a good idea to replace all the locks on the new home you buy. You never know how many copies of the keys the previous owners made and handed out. Get a locksmith in right away. Also, you can contact a locksmith if you ever misplace your keys.
When in the process of purchasing a home-security system, be sure to comparison shop. Prices vary quite a bit. Make sure you get quotes from at least three companies before you decide on which one you think is the best option.
Talk to people you know about their security systems. Others may have had bad and good experiences that they share with you so that you may be able to save time and stress. Spending a few days asking for reviews is useful in helping you choose correctly.
If you have a lot of unfamiliar people on you social networking accounts, avoid letting everyone know you will be going on vacation. If you do, burglars will know you’re not home and strike.
Be sure you have secured your attached garage. Lots of folks are concerned about burglars gaining access to the garage and then the home, but this can be addressed. You can use a C-clamp to stop the door from being opened.
Don’t let any person you don’t completely know into your house. No matter what the excuse the person presents, keep them from entering your home. Some criminals will come in, case your house and then come back when you are away.
Follow your instincts when choosing a home security company. This is particularly true if you’re uneasy with those that install your actual system. Never be afraid to ask for a new installer or to get an entirely new firm. The system and the company should put your mind at ease.
Spare Key
Talk to the police department in your area to see what safety programs they have. Several in various jurisdictions have programs which entail providing a home inspection, what protective measures will help your home and even how to engrave valuable items to make them easier to recover. Call them up to find out more.
It is not a good idea to hide a spare key on your property. You might think this protects you against being locked out of your home, but it also gives intruders access to your home. Thieves aren’t stupid and also know common hiding spots. Ask a reliable neighbor or a friend to keep your spare key.
Always lock your house, no matter how briefly you expect to be gone. It may be shocking, but many home invasions and burglaries occur by intruders walking through the front door that was left open. It can be a quick job for a burglar to steal items of great value.
Walls are a good place to hide things. Small valuables fit nicely inside walls. All you need is a wall opening you’re not using (something like a phone jack, electrical box, or switch plate). You can also install a fake one.
A good home security system monitors all entry points to your home. Windows offer easy access to a potential thief. Attach the alarm to each window and ask for monitoring for them. This can mean the difference between a safe home and one that is an easy target.
If you are moving in your new home, ensure all the old locks are replaced. While the person you bought the home from may seem on the up and up, you have no idea who they really are. Also, there have likely been other owners of the home, and you don’t know them either.
You should have several flashlights and batteries in all your rooms. Power outages are common to all sorts of emergency situations, so having flashlights handy will enable you to maneuver in the dark. This can come in handy if someone has cut your power and is attempting to break in.
If you move to a place that was occupied before, you should change the locks right away. The previous tenant or owner may not have the keys, but you don’t know if they made copies for themselves or others. You can purchase the locks and install them yourself to ensure you’re the only person that has a key.
Now that you’ve read this, you have no reason to be in an unsafe home. As inconvenient and confusing as this appears, it’s crucial for securing your home and family. Apply what you’ve just learned, and you should be golden.
You need to make sure you’re making use of the Internet when looking at different home security companies. Browse through different websites and seek out customer reviews about different services and packages. You can then make three solid selections and make appointments with them.
