Homeowners feel as though it is tough to make their home a safe place. There are many inexpensive ways to secure your home from break-ins. By reading the below article, you’ll realize that you can take significant steps in protecting your home.
It is important for your home to always look lived in. There are timers you can use to make electronics turn on and off at random times. This way, it will appear that you are at home. This is an excellent technique that helps avoid robberies while keeping the property safe.
Don’t give your keys to a house cleaner unless you totally trust them. If you do give out a key to such individuals, be certain you know their reputation for honesty. Carefully check their references. If you’re hiring from a company, call the BBB for more information.
Make sure you trust your house cleaner before you provide them with a key. You need to ensure that they are honest and reputable according to references before you have handed over the key. Check the housekeeper’s references very carefully. If you are using a cleaning firm, make sure it has an excellent Better Business Bureau rating.
Security System
Buy a safe to contain everything of great value. If an intruder breaks into your home, at least these valuables will be secure. Hide your safe in a place that is hard to get to, like a basement closet or an attic.
Comparison shop when you are ready to buy a home security system. Each company has different rates for their security system. Try to get two or three quotes before making a decision.
If you keep a spare key outside to prevent yourself from being locked-out, think carefully about where you hide it. Intruders will think to look on the top if a door frame and under a doormat. You could hide the key with your dog on the collar.
Talk to people you know for referrals when choosing home security systems. Your loved ones likely have dealt with this situation before. Ask around so that you can have the advice that you need to make a good choice.
Don’t let strangers enter your home. Remember that intruders have a lot of experience with tricking people. It’s quite possible that your charming guest is only interested in evaluating the security of your home; if they find it lacking, they may be back later to relieve you of some of your possessions.
If you live more out in the country, you may think that you’re not at risk. Nonetheless, people in the country may be at greater risk due to being far away from neighbors. Some think rural areas see less burglary.
When summer comes around, eliminate all vegetation and dead wood from your yard. These are vulnerable to fires and put your home in danger. Make sure your yard is clean for the sake of your safety – and that of your family!
A skylight is another area that needs to be protected for home security. While they are nice and help with lighting, they also provide the burglars help with access to your home. Skylights need to be installed correctly and safely, with hardware that will keep intruders out.
Spare Keys
Your home may be equipped with skylights, and if so you must not neglect them in your security planning. Intruders could use skylights to enter your home. Use heavy-duty hardware to secure your skylights to the roof.
Avoid placing spare keys under door mats or in plant boxes. You are allowing people to invade your home when you make it easy for them. Intruders know about the usual hiding spots. Rather, keep your spare keys with a neighbor you trust.
Make sure that none of your valuables can be seen from the outside. Though it is nice to have big windows to get a great view of the outdoors, it is also easier for burglars to look into your home. Windows facing the street need to be covered to keep inside possessions safe.
Even the wires inside your home are worth something. People don’t realize this until it is stolen. The copper wiring can be stripped and be turned in for money. Hide your wiring to secure it.
If you have a home security system installed, make sure the wires are hidden. A burglar will simply cut the wires if he can see them. Keep the wires hidden in the walls or underground to keep intruders from getting in. This way, you will be safer.
Before letting a home security representative inside, ask for identification. Intruders can easy pass themselves off as an employee of a security company just to get inside your house. This represents a danger to your possessions and your family. Be very careful with who you let into your home.
Keep safety at the forefront when landscaping your property. Make sure that the doors and windows to your home are not covered by trees, fences, shrubs or any other type of thing. This way, no one can hide there if they are attempting to break into your house. Plan features like these further from your home to have a safe, beautiful design.
You should be in a better position to improve your home’s security now that you’ve taken the time to educate yourself on the subject. Start making changes around your home. Soon your home will make you feel safe no matter what hour it is. Peace of mind and real protection are closer than you think!
