What you must find out about electronic door locks home security
Is your house to be left empty for sometime while you travel on vacation? That is when it generally is open to looters breaking in. Here is a bunch of things and ideas to deal with it.
* The best solution is to arrange for a house sitter. A house where someone is staying is very likely safer than a house that is empty. Try to get a friend or someone you trust to live at your apartment for the time you are traveling.
* Halt your mail and newspaper delivery while you are away. Unread newspapers and an overflowing mailbox calls attention to the fact that the home is unoccupied.
* If you maintain potted plants that are visible from the road get someone to maintain them. Or remove the potted plants away from sight. Untended and dying plants convey that the apartment is empty.
* It is a good idea to use timers on lights and tv. Lights in several rooms should be on timers. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. At your regular bedtime the living room lights should be put out and the bedroom lights should be turned on.
If you usually switch tv on at 8 and it is always on till you go to bed have the timer set accordingly. Though the lights may be on the absence of the tv can clue in someone that this is an empty house.
* Request a neighbor to drop in on your apartment or home often. Windows being opened and closed etc gives evidence that the house is occupied.
* If you rent a home or apartment you may want to let your landlord know that the apartment will be empty. Your houseowner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you have installed a burglar alarm see to it that the home sitter is aware of just how to use it.
* Make it a point to see that the neighbor can reach you easily. The person checking on the house must be aware of who they should fill in should any issue crop up.
