Protect Your Home From Burglars

We all need to protect our homes from burglars, especially this time of year, so how about a few tips and pointers on how to do so.


Did you know?

A high percentage of burglars enter through the first floor of the home, so insuring exterior doors and windows are secure is important.


  • Exterior doors should be constructed of  heavy solid materials that are not easily broken, and should have good quality deadbolt locks
  • Beware of leaving spare keys in what you believe to be hidden areas. Dont hide keys in obvious places or close to the door, instead leave them with a neighbor you can trust
  • Install a peephole, so you can see who's at your door before you open it
  • If you absolutely must have a pet door, make sure its not located close to a lock and try to have it as small as you can
  • Place a wooden pole or handle of a broom in the door track of a sliding door so it cannot be opened. These doors should also have top and bottom locks
  • Windows want to be constructed with strong glass and screening should be a heavy duty wire
  • If your planning to be away, set lights, TVs or radios on a timer so it seems like someone is home

Burglars dont want to be seen, so make it as difficult as possible for them by attaching motion sensored lighting all around the house.
