AZ Locksmith Unveils Tips To Protect Homes Against Crime

Construction News Image
It's estimated that a house is burgled nearly every minute in the UK. There are some tips that can help you to improve your home security and to avoid burglaries.

According to POLICE.UK, homes with no security measures in place are five times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures. Strong deadlocks and good window locks can make a big difference. However, they cannot protect your house if you leave them unlocked. Remember to lock your doors and windows every time you leave the house, including garage doors. And don't forget to double-lock UPVC doors.

Your house may be built from high-quality construction materials, but you won't be protected from a break-in if you don't have effective locks. Change any house or garage lock immediately if you have lost your key or it has been stolen. It's also important to change the locks if you move into a new house. You can call AZ Locksmith security experts anytime, 24/7, who can replace your locks quickly and accurately at an affordable price. They can even suggest you the best options how to secure your house.

For deterring the potential burglars, your house should look occupied - Leave TV, radio or light in your home on a timer. Collect old newspapers and empty your mailbox, because their existence may be a signal for burglars that the house is empty. If you have a garage, park your vehicles inside. It's also important to place your valuable belongings away from windows and doors, where they can be seen easily from the outside.

For preventing a burglary, it's also very important to install a visual alarm system and good yard lighting. It's highly unadvisable to talk about your holiday plans on social networks publicly. Potential burglars may find this information and "visit" your house when you will be away. In addition, avoid changing your phone message to inform callers, that you are on vacation.
