10 Easy Steps To Protect Your Home
occur through first-story windows, but don’t
forget
to secure the basement and second-story windows as well.
3. Purchase a security system. All homes should have
some form of security sys- tem, whether it’s a basic DIY installation or a fully monitored smart system. Evaluate the needs for your area and choose a system you’re
comfortable with.
1. Secure the doors. Roughly 33 percent of
burglars enter through the front door. Perform an in- spection of not only your front door, but all doors around your home. Make sure the frames are strong, the hinges are protected, the wood is not hollow, and, if your door has a mail slot, that
someone can’t reach through it to
unlock the door. The front door might be a nice focal point of your house, but don’t sacrifice security for a pretty view. If your door doesn’t have a peephole or a deadbolt, you should in- stall
those immediately to
help make the door even more secure.
2. Lock the
windows. The
Some of the basics to con- sider include an alarm, mo- tion sensors for the doors and windows, and carbon monoxide and smoke de- tectors.
latches manufac-
turers place on windows aren’t always effective, and sometimes they’re down- right flimsy. Replace them with locks or key-operated levers to help beef up your safety. You might also con- sider inserting laminated or tempered glass for a strong- er hold. As many as 23 percent of home burglaries
4. Meet the neighbours. Your neighbours can be
a helpful first line of de- fence against a home inva- sion. They know the area and can help keep an eye on your home when you’re away — but they can’t do that if they don’t know you. Make an effort

your new neighbours and form good relationships so you’ll have people to rely on. If something fishy is happening in your area, a good neighbour will call and let you know.
5. Perform a mock burglary. Now that you’ve made friends with the
aren’t
officer over to give you tips on securing your home for your family.
7. Light up the landscape. The FBI states the ma-
jority of burglaries oc- cur during the day, likely when you’re at work. But that
doesn’t neigh-
bours, have one of them walk around and through your house to look for things that
secure.
Are valuables out in plain sight? Can you see through the curtains into the home? A mock burglary can give you great insight into areas of your security plan that might need tightening up.
6. Find your resources. Find information on
contacting the local police, check for a neighbourhood watch program, and see what other resources your area has available
in home safety. Some local police forces will send an
mean you
don’t need to secure your home at night. Place lights around your front and back yard. Use lights that come equipped with motion sen- sors for added protection. An intruder might be less inclined to break in if there is a spotlight on them.
8. Eliminate hiding places. Shrubs and bushes may
to aid
give your house curb ap- peal, but they also provide burglars with a handy place to hide. Trim down trees and plants close to your home that could be used for cover and opt for small- er flowers instead.
9. Add security eastcorkjournal
signs. Many security providers
also include yard signs and window decals with secu- rity packages to help deter potential burglars. If you have them, put them up. If you don’t have a security system, weigh the pros and cons of fake signage. Some- times the belief that there’s a security system inside can be as effective as actually having one.
10. Come up with a plan. It’s not enough to have
security measures in place — you have to have a plan in case they fail. Sit down with your family and come up with a simple routine to help secure your home. Set rules for opening the door for strangers, locking the doors and windows when- ever you leave, and using the alarm system. Make sure your kids know what to do should a break-in occur and have an exit strategy in the event of a fire or other emergency.
