Make Sure Your Home Is Protected This Fall with These Security Tips

Summer weather conditions can lull homeowners into a false sense of security that can linger into Autumn. Here are a few examples, and ways to counteract them.

Door Security Tips

Doors should be locked for safety regardless of the season. Having gotten through the summer without indecent can get you feeling sure nothing bad will happen as we approach Fall. Locking doors is a simple thing to do, and it can mean the difference between having time to defend your home, and not.

Windows Security Tips

Depending on the type of climate you live in you may or may not have your windows secured. If you get a cool breeze through in ordinarily hot weather, it can be tempting to leave your windows open. If you do leave your windows open, there’s no reason not to have screens securely in place. You might also consider contact or motion alarms near open windows.

Garage Security Tips

After knocking yourself out working in the yard, it can be tempting to just throw things down and leap into your hammock without taking any precautions. Remember, Fall is a busy time of year for home invaders as the cooling weather gives criminals elevated courage. It’s no time to let your guard down.

Fence & Gate Security Tips

A fence may make a home look more secure, but if it doesn’t have quality locks, or is easy to jump over, it actually makes your home less secure. That’s because a fence that’s easy to pass offers crooks a place to hide midway between the street and your home. If you have to have a certain piece of fencing, a good way to make up for the security risk is to install motion sensor lights around the perimeter of your home. A good sized dog wouldn’t hurt either.

Yard Security Tips 

After having played with your summer toys all season, you may leave bikes and trampolines and such out in the yard. Bikes are especially attractive to thieves and are among the most frequently stolen of all items. You want to lock them up securely, and consider expanding your security system into the garage or shed.
