Home Security: Keep Your Home Safe

If you are unsure about how to choose among home security offerings, continue reading. It’s never easy making tough decisions that are expensive. You want to have the proper knowledge so that you can make a good decision.

Make your house look occupied all the time. Buy timers that will make your TVs, radios and other electronics turn on and turn off at various times. In this way, it will always seem that someone is in your home. This is an effective deterrent against burglars.

Any time you buy a new home, have the locks changed. You don’t know who might have a key. Find a good locksmith who can replace the lock and make a few copies of your key. Also, if you lose your keys, change the locks.

TIP! Does your dog stay outside while you are gone? This is where you can put your spare key. Fasten the key to your dog’s collar to hide it from view.

Keep your most precious belongings inside a safe. This is very important, as you do not want your gold, diamonds and personal items exposed if someone were to break into your house. Be sure to put your safe in an out of the way place like the basement, attic or under the floorboards.

Make sure to clear your yard of brush and dead wood in the summertime. They pose a fire risk. Therefore, you need to regularly clean your yard so that your home is protected.

Get to know your neighbors. Speak with your neighbors. Keep an eye on their houses and yards and request that they return the favor. Don’t ignore any gossip either. You might find out valuable information related to security, like if there have been any strangers hanging around.

TIP! If your home has a lot of valuable items inside, then you need to purchase a safe so that all of these items can be kept in a single location. This will help to keep your jewelry and other valuables secured in the event of a break in.

Listen to your intuition as to whether your system is being installed by a trustworthy home security company. This is particularly true if you feel uncomfortable with a company you are dealing with. Do not hesitate to ask for a different person to install the system or even consider hiring a different company. After all, the point of the system itself is to help you feel more at ease.

Don’t forget about the skylights when securing your home. Skylights are great for making a home brighter, but they can make it easier for burglars to access the house. You should have them equipped with strong, sturdy hardware.

Walls are great for hiding things. You should think about hiding certain small valuables within your walls. Use an old switch plate, outlet or phone jack. If you do not have any unused plates, it is easy to install a false one.

TIP! Ask friend for any advice they have prior to purchasing a security system or service. Others have likely had both good and bad experiences that they can share with you that can then save you a lot of stress and time.

You should not hide your spare key under your mat or inside a plant box. Though you might think that you’re giving yourself something you could use to get into your house when you’ve lost your keys, you’re actually inviting intruders inside your house. Rest assured, thieves have a good idea about these hiding places. Rather, give the key to a neighbor to hold.

Be cognizant of what others can see when they look in your windows. While having huge windows may be good for letting in light and viewing what is outside, it also gives potential thieves a good look in your own home. By reducing visibility into your home, you protect your belongings, safety, and you improve the interior beauty of your home.

Prior to allowing access to anyone, make sure you are shown proper identification. It wouldn’t hurt to also perform a background check. Avoid giving keys out to contractors, maids and repairmen.

TIP! Before leaving for vacation, turn off the ringers in your house. This is because a phone that is ringing and ringing can tip of a burglar that nobody is currently home.

Keep lights on at all times if you want to prevent break-ins from happening. Most burglars rely on concealment to approach a home. When you have a well-lit home, crooks won’t be able to hide and it will be hard for them to break in undetected. That’s why it’s a good idea to light your home well for optimum safety.

If you understand what lies ahead, now is the time to act. It is vital to grasp the gravity of the topic, as it can help keep your family secure. You want to utilize the information you’ve read to make this happen.
