Good Home Security Tips You Should Know About
by Belinda Norbert
It is a dangerous world out there. You may feel safe in your own home, but if you are not taking the right precautions, you leave yourself vulnerable. Making your home safe from intruders is not all that difficult if you know what to do. Follow these tips to give you peace of mind in your home.
If you are a female and living alone, it's understandable that you may feel afraid about home invasions. People are more likely to try to take advantage of women. Try placing a pair of big, muddy boots on your front step to give the appearance of a man staying in the house.
If your alarm is faulty and goes off at random times, get it fixed. Tell your neighbors once it is working properly. The reason for this is that your neighbors will start ignoring an alarm that goes off for no reason and it will be helpful if they know your alarm is in working condition.
Place the spare key that you make on your dog. This works with a dog that stays outside or a dog with a pet door. Hide a key inside the collar of your dog in case you need a spare.
Make sure that your home security system has a backup power source. Many burglars cut wires inside home security systems before entering a home. If you have a backup source, the alarm will continue to work as it should. It may be more expensive to install this type of system, but it will be worth it.
Alter the combination of the locks in your home. Whether you have a roommate who is about to move out, or a relationship that has run its course, it is a good idea change your locks. It is inexpensive, and most locksmiths will be available for next day appointments.
