Tips for Better Home Security

Homeowners can do a lot to deter break-ins and should take steps to do so, even if they have a home burglar alarm. Thieves are opportunists, and they will choose homes that have easy access and provide them cover so they won’t be seen.

Here are some tips to help keep your home secure, in addition to installing a burglar alarm:

• Keep all doors and windows closed and locked. You may consider wiring them as part of your home burglar alarm.
• Secure sliding glass doors with a metal rod in the track, and install a home security system with a motion detector to monitor it.
• Keep the door between your home and garage locked.  Automatic door openers are easy for burglars to get past. Be sure to ask about how to monitor your garage door when you are shopping for residential security systems.
• Keep your yard well lit. Installing motion sensor lighting outside to alert you to potential intruders. Lights are a key element to any home security plan.
• Remember home security when you go on vacation. If you are out of town, use timers on lights, radios and televisions. Make sure a friend or neighbor picks up your mail every day and stop delivery of your newspaper.
