Do you feel overwhelmed just thinking about home security systems? Do you feel overwhelmed about where you would even start? If so, knowledge is power. Read on to find out what sort of steps you can take.
Consider using your dog as a place to store your spare key. This is a great idea if your dog is outside all the time, or they can get out through a doggy door. Simply attach a spare key to your dog’s collar (in a secure and non-visible place, of course) so that you’ll be able to retrieve it if you need it.
Provide the house key to your professional house cleaner, but only if you fully trust them. When giving your house cleaner the key to your home, you need to be sure that they are reputable and honest. It is best to do a reference check on them. If they work for a firm, call the local Better Business Bureau to find out that firm’s reputation.
Be sure you have secured your attached garage. Many people are concerned about people entering their garages to gain access to their homes. A C clamp helps for garage doors on a track. The clamp actually keeps the door closed if tightened close to the track roller.
When it comes to securing your home, start by changing your locks. It might be that you have an angry ex-roommate or a bitter ex-partner, so changed locks will boost your security. It is usually inexpensive and can be done in less than 24 hours.
Walls can serve as a handy hiding place. Small items of value can be hidden for safety in your home’s walls. Target any unused phone jacks or electrical outlets for an easy hiding spot. You put in a fake plate if there aren’t any unused in your home.
Don’t put your spare key in an obvious place near your front door. You might think this protects you against being locked out of your home, but it also gives intruders access to your home. Intruders know about the usual hiding spots. Try having your trustworthy neighbors hold spare keys.
Potential Entry Points
When choosing an alarm system, consider one that offers protection for more than just your doors. Windows are all potential entry points for burglars. Therefore, ensure the windows have an attached alarm. All potential entry points should have an alarm. This will make your family safer.
If you’ve just gotten a home, replace every lock. While the person you bought the home from may seem on the up and up, you have no idea who they really are. And, other people could have lived in the home previously to them as well.
Whenever you are landscaping your home, you should consider safety. Keep your doors and windows clear of any shrubbery. If they can be seen, potential burglars will not be able to use them as hiding places before breaking in. Utilize shrubs and trees farther away in order to add beauty to your home while keeping it safe.
Request that prospective security firms design a system specifically for your home. Every family is different, and so your security needs will be unique. If you’ve found a company that can tailor a system to you, you can receive the greatest amount of security to make you feel much more comfortable.
If someone looks after your house when you’re gone, have them remove fliers from the door. Burglars often put fliers on the door to see if the owner removes them. If it stays where they put it, they will know you are on vacation.
Hopefully, you now have a better idea about home security. Remember this advice and tips as you begin making your home security plans. You will rest assured knowing your home is safe and feel confident about your decisions related to this important matter.
