Always double check your locks!!
We should all feel safe and secure in our homes, and we shouldn’t have to turn our homes into fortresses to feel protected.
Most burglars come in through unlocked doors and windows, so always make sure you lock up before you leave your home empty. If you have a double lock then lock it, and if you have a burglar alarm then put it on.
Home insurance is also really important in case the worst should ever happen and can be often void if you haven’t set your alarm or your locks are not up to BS3621 British Standards.
Burglars will not normally spend more than 60 seconds trying to break into your home so a good strong lock can make a massive difference to how difficult your home would be to break into. A solid entry door is always a great addition for added security and it will also help with keeping in heat and keeping draughts out.
Smart doorbells and security cameras are becoming increasingly popular when it comes to home security. Smart doorbells are a simple way of monitoring and recording movements on your doorstep and outside your property. Much more useful than a regular doorbell, with their motion sensors, cameras and remote viewing, they can often interface with other smart home products. A very handy way to keep an eye on things when you are away and a much cheaper alternative than installing security cameras.
Grilles and gates can also be a useful security addition and a deterrent to any potential intruders.
