Ways to Burglar-Proof Your Home Affordably

Install Deadbolts

Install a Security Alarm System

An alarm system is one of the features you should consider when upgrading your security system. The alarm system helps to deter criminals from invading the home. Although the alarm might not keep some experienced burglars from gaining entry, it would alert you of the intruder's presence. 

More so, the warning sound of the alarm would frighten a would-be thief, and some sophisticated systems are designed to alert the police of the intruder's presence. All these would help some criminals avoid attacking your home. What then are you waiting for, call one of our experts to install your alarm system.

Avoid Overgrown Shrubs

Beyond the sore look overgrown shrubs give the home environment, they can be a menace affecting your home's security. Overgrown shrubs are a good hiding place for thieves before and after a burglary. So, ensure you trim the shrubs regularly. You can either do the trimming yourself or have a gardener do that. 

Also, trees could be a threat to your security as criminals can hide or climb them before executing an operation. Ensure that the trees with long branches are not too close to your windows or fence. It is easy for a criminal to access your home through the trees. If the windows are very close to the trees, hire a residential locksmith to install additional bolts to the windows. 

Keep Curtains Closed

If you want to avoid a burglary attack, then stop exposing the valuable items in your home. Always keeping your curtains closed is a way of playing your part in keeping the home safe. As much as you would love to keep the curtains drawn back, it might not be a good idea, especially in neighborhoods with high crime rates.

It is a fact that opening your curtains provides burglars with a good glimpse of the home's interior, and they can spot if there are valuables worth stealing or not. Criminals operate based on information, so if the curtains to your home are closed, you will be starving them of such information.
