Concerned About Home Security? Take These Tips To Heart

Any woman who lives alone needs to focus on home security. The following article will give you some valuable advice about protecting your most valuable assets. For example, start by reading this article.

Make sure to have flashlights with fresh batteries in all rooms within your house in the event of a power outage. Flashlights are essential since they let you move around in an emergency. Teach your children how to use the flashlights so that everyone in your household can help.

Put some extra thought into concealing your spare keys. Fake rocks are very easy to spot. Doormats are the first place people look at. The best idea is just to ask a friend or neighbor to hang on to a key for you. If you cannot do that, at least find an unusual place to hide the key.

TIP! If your door has a numeric keypad lock, never make its password your birth date. Your birthdate can be found on Facebook or pieces of mail and you have given entry into your home.

If you are entering a house that has already been occupied, you should first change your locks. The previous owners or tenants might have made some copies of the key. Find a reliable locksmith who can replace the locks or do it yourself.

Security System

Hard-wired security systems can be a sound choice. Wireless security systems are great, but need frequent battery changes. If you don’t replace the batteries, you’ll find that your system stops working correctly. Buying new batteries to replace the old ones can get expensive.

TIP! If your lights are generally turned off at roughly the same time, consider using a timer. This is quite convenient because you won’t need to turn the lights off and on, and you won’t need to worry if you go away for a spell.

Make sure that the person analyzing your home for a home security system is who he says. Posing as a security professional is an excellent way for an experienced thief to get inside your house and plan a less-friendly return visit. Intruders could disguise themselves as home security representatives to inspect your current security system. Use caution to stay out of danger.

Always check references before letting anyone work on your home. You need to do background checks in order to find out about their criminal history. Avoid giving keys out to contractors, maids and repairmen.

Take extra measures to keep valuables that cannot be replaced secure. Irreplaceable valuables, including financial records, family photos, legal documents, passports, etc., should be secured at all times. Keeping such valuables under lock and key (in a floor safe, for example) is a good way to provide the extra protection they need. For added safety, place them in a safety deposit box at your bank.

TIP! Be sure to close your curtains at night in rooms that face the street. You never want to make it easy for folks to peer into your home.

Motion Detectors

A great way to achieve extra security is to install exterior lighting equipped with motion detectors. At night, the lights will keep things bright round the house, but they are also efficient and cost-effective ways to help your security. If positioned correctly on the exterior of your home, the motion detectors make it virtually impossible for an intruder to sneak onto your property.

Most people try to avoid the neighborhood gossip, but you should try to get them in your good graces. They will be the first one to notice any strangers lurking near your home. Being friendly will make them more likely to alert you right away.

TIP! If you will be gone for an extended period, turn the ringers off on all telephones in the home. If your phone rings and is not being answered, criminals will realize that you’re away.

You want to know what is included in a contract if you’re signing up with a security company. There may be hidden expenses involved if you terminate service before the contract term is up, and there may be added equipment fees. If you can’t avoid these types of fees, you should at least be aware of them.

A bright home is a safe home. Most burglars rely on concealment to approach a home. With a well-lit home, thieves cannot hide or break in unnoticed. Keep the lights on if you want your home to be secure.

Don’t let strangers enter your house. No matter how innocent a person may seem or how interesting the product he or she may be offering, you must not allow access. Some criminals will come in, case your house and then come back when you are away.

TIP! Do not allow any valuable electronics to show in the window. When expensive items cannot be seen, they are less likely to be the reason for a break-in.

The Internet is great for searching for home security companies, so use it to your advantage. You should look at testimonials from customers and different information you can find. You’ll find it easy to narrow your choice down to three top contenders; your next step is to arrange to meet each of them to discuss your specific security needs.

Your landscaping should be designed based on what will be safest for your home. All doors and windows must be unobstructed by shrubs, trees, fences, or plants. If they can be seen, potential burglars will not be able to use them as hiding places before breaking in. Plan these features for further away from your home.

Make sure that you consistently alter your code for the garage. The code which it comes with is standard for every single unit, meaning one opener can work on many garages. Thieves actually travel from home to home seeing if a certain garage door opener will work on each house.

TIP! Make use of interconnected smoke detectors. These particular alarms are all linked together.

Do not store your car registration in your glove box. If someone breaks into your car, that person can view your registration and instantly know where you reside. Keep them on you, or another place to hide them. You should have easy access to them if you should be pulled over.

Keep your home safe and secure affordably. You can do it yourself. You don’t have to allow a stranger into your home to install a security system. There are many cheap products or even habits you can adopt to protect yourself. This article is a great start.

If your shed has a ladder inside, then make sure you lock the door. Easy access to your ladder gives thieves a way to access your home’s second floor. Store anything a person can climb on away from your house and locked up.

TIP! When you move somewhere new, change your locks. Who knows who has a key? You can easily control who has access to your home once you change the locks.
