Home Security Tips by MacPherson Glass
Every home big or small needs a high level
of security. High levels of home security can be maintained only if you
seal all the potential openings for burglars. MacPherson
Glass, pioneers in the installation of glasses for windows,
doors and conservatories,
provides its customers with some valuable home security tips.
• A burglar alarm system is a must
have for every house.
• Identify all those points in the
home from where burglars can creep inside your house. These are the important
points that need to be sealed. You can identify such points by locating
the hidden entrances that are easily visible to your neighbors. Think
of the entry/entries that you would use if you ever happen lose your main
door keys.
• Install strong and robust exterior
doors so that they can resist extra force. If possible, install them with
a deadbolt lock, having at least one-inch throw.
• Anchor every strike plate and
frame from exterior door to the inner doors.
• Make sure exterior doors are comfortable
against the frames. Frames should be in perfect condition; without warping,
cracks or any sort of wear and tear.
• Install a door wide-angle peephole
in the door.
• Sliding glass doors or windows
should be installed in a way that cannot be lifted out of the frame.
• Windows in areas such as basements
and garages should be installed properly to avoid intrusion.
• Double-hung windows with extra
pins and locks would avoid unnecessary prying from outside.
• Prune the tress and plants along
the home. This would ensure a clean surrounding and proper visibility.
• The timers would maintain the
lights of the house giving an impression of residence. This is very essential
when the house is vacant for a long duration.
• A strong and secured fence along
the perimeter would avoid people from loitering unnecessarily on your
land.
• Neighbors are of great help when
your house is vacant. Intimate them when you have to go out of town. They
can pick up newspapers and also use your garden giving an impression of
occupancy.
• Install a secured safe in your
home to store all the valuables.
• A pet dog is very helpful at home.
They can scare away intruders and wake up the owners due to their ability
to figure out strangers with superior smelling power.
• Keep a torch and a penknife near
your bed for emergency.
