As We Approach The Yuletide...tips To Keep At The Back Of Our Minds by PhilipCosbyHA(op): 1:02am On Oct 08, 2015
It is no news December and all its attendant pomp and ceremonies is around the corner. Historical Crime statistics are in no means friendly. Before we make that all important trip to the village, abroad and elsewhere, a few Home Security tips to keep at the back of our minds;

1. Review the Exterior Of Your House.

Start by reviewing the exterior of your property to make sure there are no broken windows or access to your property through garages or conservatories. Lock any tools and items such as ladders, diggers ,saws etc away.

2. Are Your Doors and Windows Secure?

Ask a vetted, inspected and qualified technician to check your door locks (including internal doors to conservatories and garages) to make sure all of your windows and doors have the most appropriate locks, they are in good condition and properly fitted.

3. Burglar Alarm Systems – Regularly Change The Code/Passwords.

The relevance of these Alarm Systems has been proven and as such has been dealt with previously , however it is very important you change the code regularly to gain maximum benefit from them as the “Thief might just be indoor”.

4. Beware of Opportunist Thieves.

Opportunist thieves can often approach houses that look like nobody is at home so consider installing a number of light timers around the house so it appears someone is home. These timers helps switch lightings on and off at pre-programmed times.

5 . When Were Your Keys Last Replaced?

While you are reviewing your security it is also worth considering when your keys were last replaced, whether past owners or tenants may still have access to your home and whether anyone may have made copies of your keys without your knowledge. If you are worried ask a technician to change your locks and fit a patented system, whereby keys can only be copied with proof of ownership or better still get fully automated Biometric protected locks…
