Additional Security - Good Locks And Doors Can Make A Big Difference

5 March, 2010

It’s important to consider the strength of your doors and locks as part of your home security plan. Burglars can spot cheap doors and locks a mile away, and if they’re on your house then you just moved up the list of potential marks for their next job. Fortunately, you can make it much harder on burglars by replacing weak doors and locks.

Any door that serves as an entry or exit point to your house must be made of solid materials. Cheap doors made from corrugated or layered materials are easy to spot and easy to break through, even if there is a deadbolt lock in use. The door will simply tear away from the lock leaving your house wide open.

In conjunction to your ADT monitored security system, replace all exterior doors with solid wood doors, and equip each one with a professional, case-hardened deadbolt lock. This will add a layer of protection that will have burglars moving along to an easier target.

Lighting Adds Security

Who knew you could scare away would-be burglars with the flip of a switch.  Yes, it's true. Think about Halloween when you were a kid.  You never hit the houses that were in the dark, why?  Because those people weren't home.  The same reasoning goes through a burglar's mind, except he's looking for the homes that are dark and "empty."  Even at night it's wise to leave a lamp on to give off the impression that someone is awake.

If you're worried about saving electricity or just can't remember to do it, you can use lamp timers or small nightlights to deter burglarizing and breaches in home security. It's so easy and it really works.
