How to Secure Your Home
Secure Doors
Don’t make a burglar’s job easier – 34% go through the front doors. Check all of your doors to make sure they are always locked and if your door contains a mail slot, ensure there is no reachable way to unlock the door.
Always change door locks when moving into new premises previously owned, this way no one else can have a copy of your house keys.
Light Up Premises
Premises that are lightened up can assist you in the security of your home. Having lights placed at your front doors and backdoors for any outdoor structures will help deter criminal activity. Intruders are likely not to target where there is efficient light as they don’t like the spotlight.
Set Up Security System
A brand new home should always have a form of security installed, whether it’s a basic DIY system or professional monitoring. These days there are many security system options available for every budget and every measure of protection.
Add CCTV
You have most definitely heard of intruders or burglars getting caught because of CCTV evidence. Having CCTV installed provides many benefits such as deterring criminal activity and remote monitoring. Modern CCTV has remote monitoring on devices such as tablets or mobile phones, so you can always monitor your home when you are away.
Tidy Up Premises
During the gardening and DIY season, many people are prone to leaving their tools and equipment lying around after they finish their day’s work. Leaving valuable equipment in open areas can catch a burglar’s eye, but also your equipment could be used in the forced entry of your home.
