When it comes to moving into a new home, the top things on your mind are likely to be decorating, styling your new kitchen, and checking what council tax band you are in, rather than setting up security measures. But the stats do show that there are break-ins in homes across every thirty seconds, so really, the security of your home needs to be one of your top priorities, new home or not. So if you think that you need to be doing more, here are some things to think about, as well as how we can help you with it.
Secure the Doors
Did you know that around a third of burglars walk right in through the front door? Don’t give them the chance to have an easy way in by checking that your doors are strong and secure. Check the hinges, and check through your postbox that someone can’t reach their hand through. Changing the locks might be needed in a new house, just in case the previous owners still have keys. Having us install an alarm system helps to add that extra layer of security, should all of your other efforts not quite go to plan.
Lock the Windows
Windows and doors are the most common entry points. And with spring around the corner, it can be a time that more people will open up their windows to freshen up the home. Sadly, a lot of window latches aren’t always the most effective or secure. Some of them can be quite flimsy! So if you don’t like how things look, or your windows are a little old, then it could be time to update the lock on your windows. Having a key to operate locks can be one of the more secure ways of doing things. Taking care to close them when you go out can be another simple thing that can make a difference.
Set Up a Security System
Your home needs to have some kind of security system or alarm in place. There are a lot of options that you can choose from these days, from CCTV-style security cameras to alarms that can dial out directly to the police. So there will be something out there for you, depending on your security requirements and your budget. One way to decide what you need can be to think about where you live and the needs of your neighborhood. Getting in touch with local police can give you an idea about crime statistics, so you can workout your security needs.
