4 Important Security Checks for Your Home
2

• It can be easy to take security for granted,
  especially if you live in a low crime area, or
  have never been the victim of a crime such as
  burglary or intrusion, before, but it never pays
  to do so.
• To make sure that your home is as secure as it
  can possibly be, no matter where you live or how
  unlikely you believe the prospect of a burglary
  or intrusion to be, check whether youve paid
  enough attention and engaged enough security
  measures, to the following 4 areas of your home

3

• 1.The yard or lawn
• The simple act of failing to maintain your yard
  or lawn, can be an indicator that the property is
  vacant, and even if youre very much at home, but
  simply hate gardening or yard work, this could
  see you targeted by thieves.
• Overgrown bushes and foliage can also provide a
  screen for intruders, and should you need to exit
  your home quickly or emergency personnel need to
  get to your front door, this issue could make
  life hard.

4

• Lighting
• Rarely will you find a criminal desperate enough
  to break into a home or business that is lit up
  like a Christmas tree, but if yours has got
  plenty of dark spots and shadows, you could find
  all manner of persons lurking there with criminal
  intent. If you dont want your home or business
  to be illuminated all thorough the night, invest
  in motion sensor lights, which light up the area
  only when they detect movement.

5

• Doors and windows
• Are the locks on your doors and windows giving
  you enough protection? Do you have deadbolts
  and/or reinforced locks? Do you leave your
  windows open when youre away from the property
  or in bed asleep? The quickest and most effective
  way to determine whether your doors and windows
  are secure enough, is to have a residential or
  commercial locksmith come and assess the
  property. Not only will they be able to advise
  you of any vulnerabilities or weak spots in your
  existing security measures, but theyll be able
  to carry out any repairs or upgrades, then and
  there, giving you immediate peace of mind.

6

• Key Access
• Who you give your keys to, can play a significant
  role in the overall security of your home or
  business, and you should always try to be aware
  of exactly how many copies of keys you have, who
  has them, and reassess why they have them.
  Ultimately, the fewer people who have your keys,
  the less the risk is of them being lost or
  stolen, or even duplicated, and the safer you and
  your home or business, will be.

7

• Have you checked that each of the items on the
  list above are adequately covered by security
  measures? Or do you need a local locksmith to
  help you with security at your home or business?
  Every property will have its weak spots, just
  make sure that yours dont go unchecked.
