Have you ever had someone break into your home? If so, you know how it can make you feel unsafe, even if you weren’t there when it happened and the perpetrator was caught. Our home should be the place where we feel the most at ease, but it can be difficult to feel that way after your space has been violated. What can you do to prevent this from happening to you?
First, you don’t ever want it to be obvious that you are away from your home. To accomplish this, you might need to ask for assistance from a friend or neighbor. Mail piling up in your mailbox, snow in your driveway, and an unkempt lawn are some of the signs that a burglar will look for. If possible, setting your lights on a timer to go on and off during the day will make it look like someone is at home as well.
Your front door should be solid and difficult to break down, with a deadlock bolt and attached firmly to the frame. Windows shouldn’t be so close to the door that they can be used to reach the lock from the inside.
