How To Keep Your Home Protected

If you are a home owner, then you know just how important it is to keep your humble abode safe. Having your home destroyed is one of the worst feelings ever. The investment you make in your home and belongings can be huge. Keep reading for ways to make sure your home remains protected.

Be sure your home always looks occupied. Buy timers so things will go on and off at different times. This will make your home appear as if someone is there. This is a simple way to improve your home’s safety and make it less attractive to criminals.

Only provide your house cleaner with a key if you trust him or her implicitly. Be sure to check out the background of any housekeeper you plan to provide with a key to your home. Make sure you verify all references. If you hire a cleaner who works for a company, speak with your local BBB about the company’s reliability.

TIP! Do you let your dog outside when you leave the house? This is a good spot for keeping your spare key. Put it on your dog’s collar, making sure it is hidden.

If someone comes to clean your home, only give them a key if they’re trustworthy. You need to ensure that they are honest and reputable according to references before you have handed over the key. Check out their references thoroughly. If you hire a cleaner from a company, then you should check the company with the BBB.

Do you keep your dog outside if you leave the home? Your furry friend is also a great storage place for your extra key. Fasten the key to your dog’s collar to hide it from view. This works very well if you have a pet that is not very fond of strangers. You will get the access you need without having to worry about your safety.

Don’t announce your vacation agenda on your social networks. This is especially true if you have lots of unfamiliar “friends”. It can be exciting to tell everyone about your vacation, but you could potentially be letting a burglar in on your whereabouts.

TIP! Check out your garage to ensure that it is secure. People often worry about people getting in through attached garages, but you have a solution.

Buy a safe. You need this because you would not want burglars to see these valuable items around in your house. Keep your safe in your basement or attic to make it hard to find.

Talk to people you know about their security systems. It is probable that you will hear some great stories about some companies as well as some not so great stories about others. This can save you the hassle of having to research everything on your own. Sometimes, you may get great advice from the people you know.

Don’t be shy. Speak to your neighbors. Keep on eye on their home and ask neighbors to return the favor. Listen for gossip too. You could learn important security information, such as if strangers have been lurking around the neighborhood.

TIP! An extremely important tactic for keeping your home safe is changing out the locks. Anyone from an old roommate to a former tenant could have access to your home if you leave the old locks in place.

Garage Door

You need to secure your garage if it is attached to your home. Intruders can enter your home through an unlocked garage door. Try putting a C-clamp on your garage door track. This will stop the door from rising if you want to keep it closed.

A wall is a great hiding place. Keep small, valuable items inside the walls of your home. Target any unused phone jacks or electrical outlets for an easy hiding spot. If you use all of them, you can always have fake ones installed.

TIP! If your door is set in a rotted frame, you must replace the frame. Rotting wood is easy to remove and take apart if someone is trying to get in.

If you have a garage, increase your home security by using it to house your car, rather than just for storage. You will not have to worry about thieves taking your car if it is inside your garage. Keeping your car in your garage also keeps a thief from knowing whether you are at home or not.

People who live rurally often don’t think about home security. On a different note, some people believe homeowners in more rural areas are more likely to experience robberies because of the lack of nearby neighbors. Some people think burglaries are less prevalent in rural parts.

If the home you are moving into is not brand new, you should change the locks on all the doors. Although it’s normal for owners / tenants to surrender their keys when they leave, there’s no way of knowing who else might have copies. You can even buy and install the locks yourself so you know that you are the only one with a key.

TIP! Take advantage of the Internet while comparing your home security options. Read through official websites for different companies and look for reviews written by customers.

When moving into a previously owned home, change the locks. Even if you’ve gotten a key from the previous owner or tenant, there could still be a lot of people out there who have keys to your home. You might even install new locks yourself so that you know you have the only keys.

Invite a security company to come to your house and figure out a system that will work for you. Every homeowner has specific needs for their home and their family. By locating the company that will create the best plan for you, you will be assured you are receiving the best possible home security.

Make sure your home’s exterior is well lit. Darkness allows for all sorts of nefarious activities. The most important parts of your home to light are all of its potential access points. Some examples include first story windows, garages, doorways and porches.

TIP! Put up video surveillance. Video cameras are an excellent way to keep your home safe.

Improving the security of your home should not be difficult. You just require knowledge about different ideas. Make your home very secure with the help of these excellent ideas. Don’t neglect anything you read here. Make your home as safe as possible.
