Homeowners are often daunted by the topic of home security. But, there is no need for it to be pricy or hard. You should keep reading to find out more about home security and what you can do to protect your home.
Do not give the key to your home to your cleaning person unless you are certain they are worthy of your trust. When giving your house cleaner the key to your home, you need to be sure that they are reputable and honest. Check references thoroughly. If your cleaning person comes from a company, check with the BBB.
Home security systems have additional features to just being noise alarms. Most systems can be set to sound an alert when anyone enters the home. This is important to parents who have small children, because they will want to know if the children have opened a door.
Do you have a dog that stays in your yard when you’re not at home? They may provide you with a useful place to hide your key. You can attach your key to your dog’s collar in order to keep the key hidden. This works especially well as storage if your pet isn’t too fond of strangers.
Do not tell anyone that you are going on vacation out of your friend circle. Potential intruders could get a good idea of when you will be gone by monitoring what you share on social networks.
Purchase ceiling, flooring and roofing that is fire resistant. This will add an extra protection layer for your house, particularly if you live near power lines or in a dry location. Fire is such a destructive force that it makes excellent sense to reduce fire hazards in your home whenever possible.
Security System
Regardless of the quality of your home security system, you need to check it annually. Get a security comapny tech to check it. There are any number of problems that can cause malfunctions in your security system, from weather damage to animal activity. If you aren’t paying attention, you may not be aware of these problems.
If you own a garage, be sure to use it to place your car, as opposed to using it as a storage. This will keep it away from thieves and vandals. Storing your car in the garage will also make it difficult for anyone casing your home to figure out when no one is going to be there.
Switch your locks. Has a roommate or ex-lover moved out recently? If so, then you need to change out the locks in order to keep you and your home safe. It is usually inexpensive and can be done in less than 24 hours.
Do not hide your spare key under your doormat or in a nearby planter. Keeping a spare key is convenient but intruders will have access to your home if your key is too easy to find. Potential burglars know the usual hiding places. Rather, give the key to a neighbor to hold.
When choosing a home security firm, trust your instincts. You should be very picky when it comes to letting people inspect your home. You can decide to use a different company, or ask for a different person to install it. The system and the company should put your mind at ease.
Keep your home security system’s wires under cover. You don’t want a burglar to get access to them and disable your system. You don’t want to help them by doing this, so make sure you have the wires within the walls. This way, you will be safer.
If you are new into a house, replace all the locks. While the person you bought the home from may seem on the up and up, you have no idea who they really are. Don’t forget that there were likely other owners and residents in the house before the last set.
You can hide certain valuables within your walls. You don’t have to damage the walls to do so. There are many places in your home that are pre-cut and available. Remove the wires from an electric socket you do not use so you can hide your valuable jewelry.
Are you aware of the value of your home’s wires? A lot of people don’t realize this fact until a robber steals it from 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.
Obtain flashlights with solid batteries, and ensure they are kept in all the rooms of your home in the event of a power outage. Having a well-charged flashlight on hand is very beneficial in case of emergency. Your whole family should be trained on the proper use and maintenance of flashlights.
It is important that your alarm system wiring is not exposed anywhere. Burglars can easily cut the wires if they are visible. Make it hard for a burglar to avoid your detection. This will make you much safer.
Now that you’ve got some useful home security tips, they can be used to better secure your home. Begin making changes where you live. You will quickly have a house that always feels safe no matter what time of day. You’ll find yourself more relaxed before you know it.
