Tips about security locks for home doors
Is your house to be left unoccupied for several days while you take a vacation? That is when the house is most susceptible to burglaries. Here is a bunch of things to do to make your home safer.
* The top way to secure your home is to have someone stay at your apartment. An apartment where someone is staying is always safer than a home or apartment that is unoccupied. Arrange for a friend to stay at home at least during the nights when you are traveling.
* Discontinue your mail and newspaper delivery while you are on vacation. Untouched mail and newspaper publicises that your house is empty.
* If you have potted plants visible from outside get someone to maintain them. Or ensure that the potted plants are kept where they are not visible. Dying plants are a clue that no one is home.
* Put lights and tv on timers. Timers should run lights in several rooms. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. At sunset turn on the living room lights. Around your normal sleeptime the living room lights should be put out and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and you keep it on till you turn in have the timer set accordingly. Though the lights may be on the absence of light from the tv might be enough evidence that no one is home.
* Ask a neighbor to drop in and check on your place often. Curtains and windows being opened are all signs that the house is occupied.
* If you rent a home or apartment you may want to let your landlord know that the home will be unoccupied. Your homeowner may want to check on it.
* If you use a burglar alarm system see that the person who is house sitting recognises precisely how to work it.
* Make certain that the neighbor knows how to contact you. The person watching over the house must know who should be informed should any issues come up.
