10 Tips to Keeping Your Home Safe

  • Be sure your outdoor lighting illuminates all entrances to your home.
  • Cut back shrubbery to discourage burglars from hiding near windows and doors.
  • Keep windows and doors locked at all times. Make certain your garage door is closed and locked.
  • Install a peephole in your front door.
  • Windows and sliding glass doors should be secured with auxiliary locks. Special door pins, available at home improvement stores can prevent your sliding doors from being lifted from their tracks during a burglary attempt.
  • Deadbolt locks should all be used on all exterior doors. (Single or double cylinder with a minimum one inch throw is recommended).
  • Never hide or store keys or tools outside.
  • Let trusted friends and neighbors know that you’ll be away.
  • Have your newspaper and mail held, or picked up by a friend or neighbor.
  • Disconnect automatic garage door openers.
