When securing your home and the safety of your loved ones, it is always better to be too cautious. Here are some effective security tips that can make your home safer:
- Deadbolt locks- They may be more expensive than spring latch locks, but they provide maximum security.
- Alarm system- Having an alarm system is a great deterrant to intruders. If a burglar breaks in, a shrill alarm could scare him away.
- Make sure your home looks occupied- leave on some interior lights, a radio, or a TV.
- Always lock your doors and windows- No matter how safe your neighborhood is, there is always a chance a burglar is nearby.
- Keep shrubs and bushes trimmed- burglars like to conceal themselves before entering a home.
- Invest in a Home Watch company to regularly visit your home and fix potential problems.
