Every year there are more thefts that take place in the houses, nobody is safe, neither you. Many times we neglect the care of our home, and therefore the safety of our people. We show you the 5 tips to follow to protect your home to the fullest.Approximately 120,000 thefts are recorded each year in homes. Violence and intimidation in the assaults on homes have increased while household security measures have been considerably reduced. 40% of homes are not insured.This is a consequence of not pampering our house every day, because instead of trusting in a company we install the most efficient and safe devices, we tend to look for the "economic bargains", with the risks that this entails. Although in some cases it can not be avoided, there are precautions that we can take:Exterior doors: Must be solid wood or metalized, also having the latest advances in security locksmith systems. FAC antibumping locks have become the safest option. It is important to make sure that the doors are locked as well as to use the peephole before opening the door.Glass sliding doors: We must call our trusted locksmith to install closing devices that secure the doors to the frame or rail. Adjusting the free lights on the door rails so that they can not be lifted and removed from the rails or placing a sturdy wooden or metal bar on the rail will prevent the doors from being opened. We will also have to remind our locksmith to install hinges with fasteners that slide on the rails to prevent the door from being forced.Windows: Our repair company can install fences or shutters with hinges on all windows to prevent them from being forced, although it will depend on them that they are closed during the night or whenever we are not at home.Outdoor lighting: Both outside and inside, the lights play an essential role. Ask our electrician for an efficient installation on all the exterior doors of the house. The interior lights on give the impression that the house is occupied, while the exterior lights make it more difficult for a thief to find a place to hide. Reflectors or motion detectors also act automatically to ensure the care of our home. For greater security, we can request the installation of some of the lights out of reach of the hand, so that it is not easy to remove or break the bulbs.Anti-theft alarms: If you ask your technician to install a residential alarm system make sure that everyone living in your home is trained to use it.These are some practical tips to follow. However, danger always lurks and we must be alert. An advice will also be to remove the mail daily to give a feeling of inhabited house. Let the thieves not catch you by surprise!
