Many people see home security as annoying and tedious, particularly when installation specialists enter your home. Actually, though, that isn’t the case. The tips included below will help you secure your home without a lot of additional hassle.
Providing a key to the person cleaning your home can be acceptable, but you must be sure they are honest and worthy of your confidence. Before you give a cleaner full access to your home for extended periods of time, you have to be certain that they’re trustworthy and reliable. Carefully check their references. If the cleaner is from a firm, try calling the local BBB to find out about the firm’s reputation.
Is your dog kept outside when you are away? This is where you can put your spare key. Attach the key inside their collar and make sure it can’t be seen. This is an especially good idea if your dog doesn’t like strangers, and gives you easy access to get in your home.
If you want to have a spare key close to your house in order to prevent lockouts, make sure you give its hiding place some careful thought. Intruders will think to look on the top if a door frame and under a doormat. Try hiding your key on a lawn statue or in a potted plant.
If you’ve got lots of people you don’t know on your social networks, don’t let them know that you’re going to be on vacation. There may be a thief within this list and you would have been inviting him straight through your front door!
Turn off your phone’s ringer when you go on vacation. If a burglar keeps hearing your phone ring, they’ll know the home is not occupied, making it more likely for a break-in to occur.
When summer comes around, eliminate all vegetation and dead wood from your yard. When summer heats up, such debris can catch fire. Keeping your plants and bushes trimmed will benefit your family’s safety as well as the appearance of your home.
Don’t be shy. Talk to the people who live in your neighborhood. Look out for their property, and see if they will look out for yours. Don’t disregard gossip either. You may learn some great information about security, such as if any strangers have been hanging around.
If you’ve got skylights, don’t forget about it when it comes to home security. Skylights are commonly used by thieves to enter a home. Your skylights need durable and reliable hardware for true protection.
You should always lock up your house, even if you’re only planning to be gone for a short time. Surprisingly, lots of burglaries occur because the burglar was able to simply walk in without having to actually break in. A burglar can steal a lot of expensive stuff in a short amount of time.
Were you aware that your home’s wires are valuable? Many people are not aware of this until they are stolen from their home. The wiring contains valuable copper than can be quickly stripped from a home. Make sure the wiring is concealed or difficult to access in order to keep this valuable item safe.
Rotted Wood
Rotted wood in your door framing should be replaced. Anyone hoping to enter your home can very easily do so by just prying away the rotted wood. Always replace rotting wood with fresh wood immediately to keep your house strong and secure.
You can use other ways to boost your home’s safety instead of installing a type of home security system. There are quite a few options available to you that will help your home be more secure. Keep this advice in mind to boost your home security.
