The 4 Tips you Must Know to Secure your Home!
Is your home really safe? The 4 tips you must know for a secure home-
Being a locksmith in San Antonio I know there are many things one can do to increase the security of their home, business or car. It’s nice to remember that not every burglar in the world is at Ocean’s Eleven caliber, however any burglar is a threat.
Hiring a locksmith to install new locks or purchasing an alarm system are two ways one could upgrade their security. Aside from
purchasing new equipment one can increase their security without any purchases, exciting huh? Most locksmiths will tell you
security is also in the attitude, not only the fancy products you have. You have to have that motivation to get up and actually do
the work. Here are some easy home tips you can remember to help minimize the chance you become victim to an intruder.
Lighting
During the night it is more difficult to spot people due to the darkness. Although many burglaries happen in broad daylight, I
have seen first-hand that many “go to work” during the dead of night. A smart locksmith tip is to illuminate the areas around your home. With a lit up property anyone walking on your property can easily be seen by you and your neighbors. This decreases the chance of getting robbed while increasing the chance of your intruder being seen before the damage is done.
Keep tools inside-
Often time’s household members will leave tools- screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, etc. – outside their home, most often by
the garage. Professional locksmiths say that by doing this, you are giving your intruder some useful tools to use to break in. By
remembering to bring in any tools around your property you can vastly limit the success of your intruder.
Hidden keys-
This is probably the most occurring problem we hear about as locksmiths. We want to have easy access to our hidden home
key; therefore we keep it very proximate to the front door. Whether it’s under the doormat, above the door frame or inside the flower pot, these burglars know where to look. Think of your hiding spot and then think again. This is basically giving the burglar
the open invite to rob you. Tell yourself you need to hide the key further away from your door, and in a way better hiding spot.
Lighting, hiding tools and HIDING the hidden key are three easy and quick steps you can take today to upgrade your home’s security.
