Four Steps To Take to Keep Your Home Safe
Keep your windows covered:
Leaving your curtains or blinds up when you are away can create an avenue for a potential burglar to scope your home for anything worth stealing before going in. Keeping your windows covered creates a sense of privacy and leaves them guessing whether you are home or not.
Install door reinforcements:
While typical locks on doors are helpful, they can be picked easily or forced open. However, this can be prevented by adding reinforcement hardware to the door or bolt. This makes it a lot more difficult for an intruder to break in.
Input home security systems and alarm systems
There are tons of affordable home security systems which can be customized to meet your home security needs. They also protect your home from other disasters like fire and are a great way to keep an eye on your even home while you are away.
Keep electrical box locked
Criminals know that if they gain access to your electrical box, they can easily disable a lot of things from your light to security alarms. When you go to check what the issue may be, you provide access for the intruder and also expose yourself.
