We all lead such busy lives that the last thing we need to worry about when we leave home is whether it will be intact when we return. I am not that old but I am old enough to remember not having to lock the doors when you went to a neighbours or to the shops, leaving ladders outside and not worrying about having someone climb up and through windows etc!
Here are my top 5 tips to help keep your home secure!
- Make sure the outside of your home is not an invitation! As mentioned above, put away ladders and repair any broken or cracked windows, these make it so much easier for burglars to enter your home. Don’t leave any loose heavy objects around that can be used to break in and make sure the locks and window latches are working.
- Thieves often target houses that look like no one is home, maybe think about installing a timed light if you know you won’t be around for a couple of days or intend on arriving home late.
- Security Alarms! A good idea as no one is going to try and break in with blaring sirens alerting everyone to whats going on!
- Install roller shutters like these from Prestige Doors for added piece of mind. This is the ultimate deterrent to keeping burglars at bay and give complete peace of mind.
- Check bad habits! We have a habit of leaving keys in the door on the inside, or opening up the back door and exiting through the front later (only to forget to lock the back door!)
Be vigilant, be safe and be secure!
