HOW TO KEEP YOUR HOMES AND OFFICES SAFE

1. Create the illusion that someone is always at your house
The perfect time for burglars to strike is when nobody is at home. You can leave the stereo on in a room near the front door or other entry points such as windows or side doors.

2. Make sure all exterior doors have reliable locks.
Run a routine check on all locks to make sure they are reliable before leaving the home. You can also install a 1-inch deadbolt lock on all exterior doors and make sure all doors are locked before going to bed or leaving the home.

3. Be certain before opening the door
Because you hear a familiar voice, don't just open the door. Be sure of the person at the door before unlocking it. You can install surveillance cameras which gives you access to know who is at the door before going for the locks.

4. Don't leave spare keys in obvious locations.
While it is good to have a special place for keeping the keys, make sure you don't leave your spare keys in obvious locations. Try to change the location from time to time or you can leave them with a neighbor you trust.

5. Secure your sliding glass doors.
Make sure all doors are burglar proof by using reinforced glasses, metal casing and iron bars (if this goes well with you). These reinforcements will increase the level of resistance to unauthorized access to your home.

6. Keep garage doors closed at all times.
Since garage doors may be linked directly into the house, it is important to keep them closed even while you are at home.

7. Keep blinds and drapes shut.
If the room has expensive equipment that may attract burglars, all window drapes and door blinds should be kept closed at all times most especially. These blinds and drapes tend to obscure the view of the potential intruder.

8. Store cash, jewelry and other valuables in a safe or safety deposit box
Keep only the cash you need at home. Make sure they are securely deposited in a box away from prying eyes if you must keep cash at home. Same goes with valuables.

9. When you're not there, don't leave notes on the door for others
Never create an impression which will announce your absence from the house. Drop a message directly on the person's phone number or email if you must.

10. Adjust your telephone ring to its lowest volume setting
Make sure you adjust the phone volume to the lowest if you are going to be away from home for a couple of days. Because an unanswered phone may signal burglars about your absence, this is.

You can leave the stereo on in a room near the front door or other entry points such as windows or side doors. You can also install a 1-inch deadbolt lock on all exterior doors and make sure all doors are locked before going to bed or leaving the home. Keep only the cash you need at home. If you must keep cash at home, make sure they are securely deposited in a box away from prying eyes. The goal is to keep your home as secured as possible and make sure that burglars are always repelled.
