Is your home safe from intruders? Modern security gadgets and equipments can make your home completely safe but before you go out and get one, take a look around your house and ask yourself, have i taken all the basic steps needed to safe guard my home? These are some of the most common precautions that is overlooked by most home owners. Most home intrusions can be avoided with these simple steps.

  • Back door and garage door are the easiest to get into and the most common tools for entry are credit card, pliers and a screwdriver. So, always keep it locked with a padlock.


  • Are there hiding places next to your home? Remove all shrubs and large plants that could provide hiding places next to your home.


  • Dummy surveillance cameras are cheap alternatives and they provide a few minutes of thought for a potential intruder.


  • Simple home security devices such as locks on doors, window bars, security gates, security grilles that are visible from the exterior of the house will not only act as a deterrent but slow down an intruder should they decide to try to enter.


  • Coat safety-coating on the most vulnerable windows. Safety coat is an adhesive plastic sheeting that makes breaking windows difficult. Instead of being broken with just a pop, a burglar will have a hard time breaking the glass and will stop if it’s taking too long or even unbreakable. It can be quite expensive but it does provide serious burglar protection.


  • Use light timers. Lights are sweet curse for any burglars since good security lighting is one of the greatest deterrents to crime. Many burglars prefer the cover of darkness and by keeping your property well lit at night, you take away their opportunity to strike.


  • While it's always a good idea to invest in a home security system, it would be pointless if the most basic steps are ignored. So, always remember to keep all possible access to your house locked.
