Protect Your Home Year Round
Good quality deadbolts should be on all entrance doors with strike plates reinforced with at least 2.5" screws
Entrance doors should be solid and fit tightly in the frame with no more than 1/8" clearance between the door and frame. A metal lining on the inside of an exterior door can prevent drilling, sawing, or kicking through
All entrance doors should have good locks , including screen and storm doors, garage doors, cellar doors, patio and deck doors and second floor entrance doors. REMEMBER TO LOCK UP WHENEVER YOU GO OUT
Install peepholes on entrance doors and teach children to use them correctly. NEVER OPEN A DOOR TO A STRANGER
Check sliding doors to see if they can be lifted out of the track or if the lock can be easily pried
Lock your doors when working in the attic, yard or otherwise busy elsewhere in your home.
Keep your house well lit. Use exterior sensory night-lights and interior lights on auto timers to create the illusion of your home always being occupied
Porches and other possible entrances should be lit with at least 40-watt bulbs
All windows, especially ground level, should have good locks that are always used. Strong key turn locks are best
Window air conditioners should be bolted to the wall to prevent them from being removed
Secure roof opening and exhaust systems
Always keep your garage locked and make sure tools and ladders are not accessible
Know your neighbors phone numbers and keep each other informed of travel plans
Keep police and emergency phone numbers posted near your phone
Inform family members of your security precautions and make sure they practice good security habits
Install a security alarm system
