HOLIDAY HOME SECURITY TIPS

1. Use Common Sense.

  • If you lose a key, get the locks changed.
  • Ask all strangers for identification.
  • Never hide an extra key outdoors - especially underneath a mat or on top of a light fixture. This is the first place the bad guys look. Leave an extra house key with a friend or a neighbor.

2. Make it Difficult.

  • Door chains are easy to bypass. Install deadbolts.
  • Install a stopper or stick on all sliding doors and windows.
  • Install window bars on all basement windows.
  • Install exterior motion lights.

3. Break-in's Occur When You Are Away.

  • Make sure all doors and windows are properly locked.
  • Keep your premises well lit at night. Install timers that turn lights on at different times. This gives the appearance that someone is home.
  • Test your alarm system regularly.
  • Make sure your alarm is Armed when you leave.
  • Consider installing alarm.com by Reed Security.
  • If you are travelling, have someone look after things such as collecting your mail and newspapers, cutting your lawn and shoveling your driveway.
  • Advise our Rapid Response Monitoring Station you will be away.
