Practical Steps to Improving Home Security
Intro: Practical Steps to Improving Home Security
STEP 1: Step 1: Find the Weak Spots
STEP 2: Step 2: Fix Easy Access Points
STEP 3: Step 3: Lock Up
One thing people forget to do often is to make sure everything is locked when they leave their homes or before they go to bed. Most home invasions will happen at hours when people are asleep or not home. A great thing to consider is all these new types of locks which require a smartphone or a finger print. You can limit and change peoples access anytime you want, they are strong, secure, and technologically advanced.
STEP 4: Step 4: Install Motion Lights
Another possible safety measure could be to put up motion detector lights. When a burglar goes to one of the main entry points of your home he will be greeted by a bright light, which will put a spot light right on the man dressed in black. Although it is not full proof to protect your home is one step in making your home safe.
STEP 5: Step 5: Set Timers
When your home is being cased, you do not want them to learn your schedule. If you work the night shift, they will notice that nothing comes on between 3 p.m. and midnight. This can be incredibly dangerous. To avoid this, purchase a device that you can connect to your lights and television to make them turn on during those times. They do not have to stay on a long time or even at the same time. You just don’t want your house to look empty.
Make breaking into your home a challenge. Not taking every precaution to keep your belongings safe makes it that much easier for an intruder. At night you want to go to sleep knowing that you did everything you could to keep your home safe. You will sleep better in a safe home.
