How To Establish Safety Inside Your Dwelling
Posted by: Danny Anderson / Category: Conservation & ProtectionEvery homeowner wants their home to be a safe, protected place. We all want our loved ones to be safe, and our valuables to be safe as well. If you want to protect your home, the best way to go about this is to do it in layers.
Remember: thieves want an easy way into your home. If you use a layer system, it becomes harder for a thief to gain easy and inconspicuous access.
Your first layer is the outer perimeter. A fence with a locking gate is a great start. Having a fence, even if it isn’t locked, makes it just a little bit more conspicuous for a thief to come in.
Make sure your yard is well lit. Use motion sensor lights, this can really help to deter intruders. They aren’t complete protection, nothing is foolproof, but it does make it much harder for a criminal to sneak onto your property and break into your home.
Next, you need to attend to then entrance points of your home, namely doors and windows. This is the second layer. All doors need a good strong lock.
The locks that best deter thieves are double-cylinder dead bolts. These give you the most security because they require a key on both sides of the door. If you’ve ever thought, gee, a thief could just smash the window and reach in and unlock the door, this is the lock for you.
This type of lock is not without its pitfalls. You don’t want to be locked in or out in an emergency! Be sure to keep a key hidden in an easy to find place in your home, to prevent difficulties.
If you have all of these layers of protection, you are going to be a bit safer in your home.
