Tips To Prevent A Break InUncategorizedAugust 29, 2017A break in can occur anytime, whether it is during the workday when you and the spouse are away, or during your extended vacation. You could come home to find out someone has pilfered through your domain and your personal belongings. Whatever the reason, it is important to keep your home safe and stop potential intruders from entering your home. Here are some helpful tips to prevent a break in: Install deadbolt locks on all your outside doors. Have a security system installed by professionals which are monitored 24/7. Ensure windows are equipped with sash locks, and that you remember to use them. Leave some interior lights on while you’re out; there is some chance intruders perusing through neighbourhoods would think that you’re home when your lights are on and avoid your house for fear of being caught. Install automatic timers if you’re away or an extended period of time for your house lights to turn on and off. Install a solid metal jammer that folds up when not in use, in order to keep sliding glass doors from being lifted off their tracks. Install adequate exterior lighting. For example, motion sensitive lights near grade level windows or entrances give prowlers little places to hide themselves. Keep your garage door closed and locked. If you have any, trim your trees and shrubs in your front yards so intruders cannot use them as hiding places to wait until you leave your premises before breaking inside.
