Statistically, your home is more likely to be broken into in the warmer months, so winter is the perfect time to consider investing in crime-busting measures to protect house and home.
Stay alert with sensor lights
Sensor and motion detection lights are a fantastic way of having security without spending the big bucks.
Often, having a motion light will deter would-be thieves, by thinking that someone is awake in the home, therefore increasing the risk.
Protect with a screen door
This one is too simple.
Having that one extra layer of a screen door on the front door just means no one can barge into the home when you answer the door.
Be safe with a deadbolt protector
Having a deadbolt is already one sure deterrent for thieves but having a deadbolt protector is a simple measure that stops anyone who attempts to pick the lock into your home.
Sliding over the deadlock, the protector stops the lock from turning, simple yet extremely effective.
Here are some other no fuss tips to protect your home:
- Don’t advertise your holiday plans
- Make sure to lock up the garage, shed and side gates
- Keep temptation away, by moving your valuables away from view through windows
