How To Keep Your Valuables Safe: A Home Security Guide

Safety is paramount when you own your own home. Finding your home damaged is always going to be a bad thing. Your house is your biggest investment, but it also represents your sense of security. Keep reading for ways to make sure your home remains protected.

Is your dog outside even if you are away? Use him or her to help hide your spare key! Hook your key to the dog’s collar in a place that is shielded from view. This is very effective if your pet is afraid of strangers; therefore, burglars are not very likely to notice the key.

Use a safe to protect your valuables. A safe is the best way to protect your diamonds, gold and important documents. This safe should be hidden in a location where burglars won’t find it, such as a hole in the wall, the attic, or a basement closet.

TIP! Home security systems aren’t just about sounding alarms. They can be programmed to alert the homeowner if a person enters the home.

Buy ceiling, roofing and flooring which is resistant to fire. This will give your home added security. Preventing a fire hazard is one of the safest precautions that you can take due to the level of destruction that it can cause.

Get advice from your friends before selecting a provider for home security. Your friends have gone through both bad and good experiences and they will be able to share them with you. Make broad inquiries so that you are able to make a well-informed decision.

If you will be away from your house for an extended period of time, turn the ringers off for all your phones. A ringing phone that goes unanswered may signal to a burglar that nobody is home.

TIP! When looking for a system to secure your home, do comparison shopping. Several different firms may offer similar protection for wildly divergent prices.

Secure your garage. A common concern expressed among homeowners is that someone might enter their garage and use that as an entrance to their home. There is a solution, however. A C clamp helps for garage doors on a track. The clamp actually keeps the door closed if tightened close to the track roller.

Remove old plants and debris from your yard. These can quickly become fire hazards when hit by direct sunlight, placing your house at risk. Clearing your yard keeps your home, belongings and family much safer.

Do not be shy. Build up a rapport with the people who own homes close to yours. Keep an eye out for their houses, and request that they return the favor. Pay attention to gossip. Important security details (like the presence of strangers in your neighborhood) can come out of the most innocent conversations.

TIP! Your flooring and roofing should be fire resistant. This give your home an extra protection layer.

Rural areas are just as prone to break-ins as cities. Others think that living in the country is more risky than other areas because houses are so far apart. That said, stranger things have happened.

Criminals often pick houses where they can see the valuables inside. A big front window gives you a good view; however, it also gives burglars a good view of the interior of your house. If your house has street-facing windows, make sure they are always covered and your make sure your valuables are hidden away.

TIP! Don’t use social media to announce that you will be gone for an extended period of time. It’s exciting going to new places and enjoying your time, but you could alert thieves to an empty home that they can easily break into.

As discussed, protecting your home is not that hard. It is important to do more research on home security before you decide what kind of system you want to invest in.
