How To Secure Your Home Without An Alarm System

Here’s a few security tips that don’t involve hi-tec alarms or CCTV systems. You should be using some or most of these even if you do have monitoring devices installed.

Get a deadbolt for your front door. They are more secure than ordinary locks. Hiding keys around your home is not a smart thing. It is far better to leave with a trusted neighbor. You can even check up on them using your webcam or CCTV footage some time to see how trusty they are! If you are hiding a key around your premises, ensure that it’s well-hidden. Do not “conceal” an extra key you have over the door-frame or under the mat. Rather, place it somewhere less conspicuous.

 

Toughened Glass & Windows

If you have sliding-glass doors, or home windows that glide open, inserting a broom or lengthy items of timber at the base of each windows and door, along the track that your door or home window slides on. This will certainly make them difficult to open up. If you don’t have locks on your windows pick up some screw-fix or encasement locks from your local hardware store, for your bolting home windows shot. These are so cheap and can make it insanely hard to prize open your windows.

Put tape on your home windows and also around the doors. This will certainly signal you to whether anyone is opening your windows and doors without you recognizing. There’s an excellent opportunity that they’ll try to do so once more if an individual is regularly entering your residence without you knowing.

Place a light or light on a timer, to ensure that it switches on and also off also when you are away. This will certainly provide a potential-intruder the perception that someone is in residence. A thief is much less most likely to enter into a house if she or he assumes that there’s an opportunity of being captured, detained, or harmed while doing so.

 

Fun Practical Home Security Tips os Should I Say Booby Traps?

Put lengthy poles between your door knob as well as the flooring below, therefore not allowing trespassers the ability to unlock from the exterior using a drill or locksmith pick. Think about getting a guard-dog. Dogs are fantastic animals, yet they could likewise double up to be excellent protection systems. Plus you don’t have to pay them! If you don’t fancy the commitment and responsibility of owning a real dog, see the tip at the end of the article.

Time for the booby traps now! Make a tripwire from string or an angling line, link it to a post or a stick above ground level. Tie it tautly enough so it will trip any would be intruders up and create a racket.  A favorite place is the good old Home Alone top of the stairs placement. For an even bigger racket connect it to noise-making tools (e.g. bells, chimes, and so on) so it will wake the dead if someone trips over it. Just don’t forget to tell the Mrs. Swinging tins of paint, steam irons on rope, protruding nails on the stairs and tarantulas are optional.

If you are stressed regarding someone jumping over your back fencing, purchase some clear packaging tape as well as a box of push pins. If an innocent trespasser gets the best of the fencing, he will certainly obtain a handful of tacks. Who says films aren’t educational? You can also purchase fence spikes for that added sting.

Think about keeping tools/weapons around your house, merely in the situation you have to safeguard your loved ones. Guns function well, also, as they are reliable from a far off range. If you don’t like using guns, a warning shot can be enough. Be certain that you recognize exactly what you are doing if you decide to keep guns around your home, as well as keep them well out of the way of youngsters.

 

Barking Mad

Get an electronic dog barking alarm if you don’t have the real thing. I know the title of this post said no alarms, but they aren’t no where near like an alarm. They work off radar technology. The closer an intruder gets to your property the louder the aggressive German Shepherd dog will bark. It can sense movement through windows and doors, and even with an alarm system, they can be enough to scare the pants of an intruder.
