If you’ve invested in a home, it makes sense that you want to keep it as safe and secure as possible. Although working with our team and installing an advanced security system can help, there are other things you can do to increase your overall home security.
Here are some of our top recommendations for improving your home security:
- Install deadbolt locks on all your exterior doors. These locks provide extra security when compared to standard locks because they are more resistant to forced entry.
- Consider reinforcing your door frames and windows with additional hardware, such as door jammers, window bars, or security film. This can make them more resistant to break-ins.
- Install motion-activated lights around the exterior of your home to deter intruders. These lights automatically turn on when motion is detected, alerting you to potential threats and illuminating dark areas.
- Keep the shrubs, bushes, and trees in your yard trimmed near windows and doors. This can eliminate potential hiding spots for intruders and improve visibility around your home.
- Use security bars or locks to secure your sliding doors and windows. These areas can be vulnerable entry points for intruders if you don’t properly secure them.
If you haven’t already, we highly recommend installing a home alarm system and investing in 24/7 monitoring to take your home security to the next level.
