Securing Your Home to Prevent Another Break In

• If youve been the unfortunate victim of a break
  in, youre bound to be worried that it could
  happen again after all, many criminals return to
  properties theyve previously burglarized,
  especially if security measures at the property
  were weak. Whether the thief broke in through an
  open window, forced a weak lock or even found the
  key to your home sitting right under a plant pot
  on the front step, if they got in once, they
  could get in again. That is, unless you beef up
  your security measures to ensure that only those
  with permission to enter your home, can do so.

• Here are some simple tips to help minimize the
  risk of your home being targeted by thieves
  again
• Upgrade your locks
• One of the first things you should do after a
  break in, regardless of how they got in, is to
  have a licensed locksmith assess your homes
  locks. Locks really are every homeowners first
  line of defense against intruders, and if yours
  fall below the minimum standards, you could be
  leaving yourself vulnerable to criminal activity.

• Your local locksmith will come out to your home
  and take the time to fully inspect all the locks
  on your doors and windows, and if they recommend
  making some improvements, you can ask them to fit
  the upgraded locks there and then. It may just be
  that you need a high security lock installed on
  your front door, or repairs to a lock that may be
  damaged whatever upgrades need to be made, the
  sooner you make them, the sooner you can begin to
  feel safer on your own home.

• Install motion sensor exterior lights
• Criminals love nothing more than to carry out
  their illicit activities under the cover of
  darkness, and if your doors or windows are
  shrouded in shadows, try illuminating them with
  motion sensor lights. As soon as the lights
  detect even the smallest of movements within the
  vicinity, they light up, and this should be
  enough to send even the most determined of
  burglars running from the scene.
• This cost-effective measure, when combined with
  high security locks and other security measures,
  can act as a valuable deterrent for thieves and
  intruders.

• Have a security system installed
• If you live in a high crime area, having a
  security system installed at your home can give
  you just that little bit more peace of mind, and
  your local, residential locksmith can advise you
  of your options according to your needs and
  budget. Whether you choose to have CCTV cameras
  installed, a burglar alarm, or both, anything
  that can show burglars youre ready for them,
  will act as a superb deterrent. And should the
  criminals manage to get past the system and into
  your house, youll have recorded evidence to show
  the police, and the alarm will be triggered,
  alerting both you, and the police, to the fact
  that a break in is in progress.

• Having your home broken into once is traumatic
  and costly enough, but having it happen again, is
  unthinkable. Make sure your home is never
  targeted by criminals again, by following the
  steps above and liaising with your local,
  residential locksmith.
