Homeowners are constantly learning the best ways to secure the home they own and discovering how to protect their property. Since October is national security awareness month, what better time than now to discuss your home’s security measures? However, we all know that burglars don’t just strike in October, but you can jumpstart your home security plans now to help keep you and your loved ones safe for years to come.
Secure the Home: Methods to Take
Here are some of the top ways to prioritize home security.
Install a Security System
A wide variety of home security options are available for every budget and level of protection. To choose a system, you can begin by evaluating the needs of your neighborhood and your house. Once you have evaluated risk exposure, you can determine what is needed to protect your home. Homeowners Insurance will be your saving grace when safety measures just don’t cut it.
Secure the Doors
All too often, burglars come right in through the front door because the owner did not lock it. Inspect all of your entries, ensure that the door frames and hinges are sturdy, and if there is a mail slot, no one will be able to reach through it to unlock the door. If you’re a new owner and have not yet changed the door locks, it is wise to do so. Other reinforcements include deadbolts, strike plates, smart locks, and video doorbells.
Lock the Windows
Criminals often use windows to enter a house. Keep in mind that the manufacturer latches on windows are often not effective. Consider adding extra security with aftermarket window locks or key-operated levers. You can also burglar-proof windows by reinforcing the glass with window security film, installing window or glass break sensors, adding window bars, and keeping well-trimmed but prickly bushes under first-floor windows.
Light up the Landscape
You can deter criminals with plenty of outdoor lighting. Place lights around your yards, pathways, garage, and other outdoor structures. Outdoor security lights would be even more effective if you use motion-activated lights and a smart outlet to line outdoor lights with a timer.
