Maybe you’ve been considering installing a security system for your home. Lots of folks buy them before they think about whether they actually need one. It may be that securing your doors properly is all you truly need to be doing.
Be sure that your home is always occupied. Have electronics and lights with timers and set them to go off at various times. This will make it look like someone is home. This will help to deter burglars.
After getting a new home, make sure to change its locks. You don’t know who might have a key. Call a locksmith as soon as you can for maximum security. In addition, replace your locks if your keys ever get lost.
After you purchase a new home, change the locks. Many people may have been given keys by the former owner. Call a locksmith to make sure you’re the only one with access to your home. This is also the thing to do if you lose the keys.
The only time you should give out house keys to house cleaners is if you absolutely trust them. If you plan on giving them the key so that they can work in your home for over an hour, make sure that they’re reputable, hardworking, and honest. Check references thoroughly. If you are using a cleaning firm, make sure it has an excellent Better Business Bureau rating.
A spare key must be carefully hidden and not in the obvious spots that a person might think. Placing a key above a door or under a doormat is quite obvious! Try hiding your key on a lawn statue or in a potted plant.
If you have a stranger at your door, do not open it. People are coming up with all sorts of ways to convince people to open their door to them, with the intent of committing burglary or worse. Enforce a rule within your house that no one opens the door to unexpected people.
If you have an attached garage, don’t forget to secure it as well. There is a way to stop thieves from entering your home from the garage. A C-clamp placed on the garage door track will stop it from opening when you don’t want it to.
You need to have your security system checked once a year. Make certain the security company you choose provides for regular inspections. There are quite a few things that can negatively impact the effectiveness of home security equipment. For example, adverse weather conditions or pests such as raccoons can cause problems. You may not be able to tell there is an issue by yourself.
When summer comes around, eliminate all vegetation and dead wood from your yard. These can pose a fire hazard due to heat and storms with lightning. Clear your yard often if you want to prevent a fire from starting.
Use your garage for your car, not just storage. Keeping your car in your house will deter intruders from vandalizing or stealing it. Hiding the car from plain sight can keep possible intruders from figuring out when you’re home and also when you are not.
You can hide certain valuables within your walls. This doesn’t necessarily involve chopping up your walls, either. There should be pre-cut spaces throughout your home that will suffice. For example, you might remove the cover of an electrical outlet, disconnect the wires, and use the space to hide small valuables.
Don’t think you’re not at risk just because you don’t live in a big city. There are some who believe country folk are more at risk because neighbors are not nearby. Some people think burglaries are less prevalent in rural parts.
Your home may be equipped with skylights, and if so you must not neglect them in your security planning. Although a skylight can bring light into one’s home and look good, it’s also a common entrance way for burglars. Your skylights need durable and reliable hardware for true protection.
If you are moving in your new home, ensure all the old locks are replaced. The previous owner may be perfectly respectable, but you can’t know that for sure. Many other people could have keys to the property, and you probably don’t want them to all have access to your home.
Be sure to replace all of the old locks as soon as you move into a new domicile. You don’t really know the people you purchased the house from or all the folks they shared keys with, so don’t place too much trust in the old locks. Besides, other tenants or owners might have copies of the key if the previous owners did not change the locks.
Replace Rotted Wood
Never enter your house if the door is open or something doesn’t feel right. It can be dangerous to walk in on an intruder. Call the cops and let them do the initial walk through.
Replace rotted wood around any door frames. It is simple for a robber to pry away rotting wood and enter your home. Therefore, replace rotted wood with fresh wood to ensure your home’s safety.
Home security systems could be the best thing you could do for your family. Make a few changes to your habits and focus on finding a quality home security system. When you know of all your choices, you will make a better choice.
Get a paper shredder. Unshredded documents can offer up a wealth of valuable personal information to thieves, including enough of your schedule to allow them to pinpoint the best time for a burglary. You could also simply take care to tear up your discarded papers.
