Your home may be in danger and you may not even know it. You don’t want to put yourself in a dangerous situation because you’ve failed to have a plan for protection. Review these excellent tips on creating a home that is safe and secure against burglary.
Spare Key
Use your dog as the protector of your spare key. In order to make this work, your dog either needs to stay outside or have access to a pet door. Place a spare key on the collar, and when you really need a spare, you know where to go!
If you need to leave a key for a maid service, make sure that that whoever cleans your house is professional and trustworthy. If you plan to give them a key so they can clean in your home while you are away, ensure they are reputable and honest. Check their references fully. Contact your local Better Business Bureau to find out more about the reputation of the cleaner you hired.
Buy a safe to keep all of your valuables in one place at home. This is vital since it means all of your things will be safe if someone breaks in your home. Put the safe somewhere difficult to get to, like the attic.
When looking for a system to secure your home, do comparison shopping. Most companies have different price schemes for the the same general level of protection. Get three quotes or more before making a choice.
Take advantage of any and all security resources your local police force makes available to homeowners. They often offer home inspections, seminars and even the ability to purchase items. Contact the police department to see if they have something similar.
Place your valuables in cut-outs in your walls. You do not have to cut pieces out of the walls to do this. Find a place where there is already a hole to get in through. Why not take the guts out of an electrical socket you’re not using? You can convert it into a convenient and covert little wall safe.
When selecting a home alarm system, choose one that protects many areas of your home, not just the doors. Burglars can gain entry through your windows as well. If you have an alarm attached to each of your windows and doors, you can keep track of all the entry points for your home. You want the best security possible for your family.
Even the wires inside your home are worth something. Lots of people fail to appreciate this until they are hit by thieves. It does not take much time to strip off the expensive copper wires from the exterior of your house. Be sure that you keep all your wiring hidden and make it hard to access.
Power Goes
Flashlights in your home should always have newer batteries if your power goes out. If the power goes out, you will be able to see everything. This can come in handy if someone has cut your power and is attempting to break in.
When you hire a type of home security company, read the contract’s fine print before signing. There may be some hidden fees, or a need to buy more equipment later. Be aware of these particular fees so you can steer clear of them.
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. If they are visible, people won’t be able to hide there while trying to break in. Plan your greenery and shrubbery for areas away from the direct path to your home to add beauty while still keeping your house safe.
Burglars are not predictable, so you never know if you have become a target. Rather than just counting on luck, do what is necessary to protect your own home. Follow the tips presented here and stay up to date on the latest home security information to protect your home and family against crime.
