5 Home Security Tips to Keep Your Family Safe
Home security is an often overlooked aspect to any home. We forget about the risks year after year until, unfortunately, something happens to our homes or family. This spring, break the habit of delaying your security and have a home security system installed in your Miami area home. Though, as you may already realize, security systems are only part of the solution. Below are five simple home security tips you can perform this spring in order to have peace of mind this summer.
1. Be sure to remove, or heavily trim, large bushes which hide your home and provide cover for burglars. Tall bushes and shrubs, especially around windows, allow individual to go unnoticed. Also, remove any items, such as an unused vehicle, from around your home which may provide concealment for burglars. Not only will you make your home safer, but your neighbors will thank you.
2. Replace any door or window locks which may be broken or nearing the end of their life expectancy. Chances are, lock technology has come a long way since those door locks were installed. Removing and replacing outdated or broken locks is a very smart move.
3. Replace any broken doors or windows you may have been putting off. Industry leaders say the most secure doors are steel doors. Steel offers safety and security unmatched by vinyl, wood, plastic, or fiberglass components. When replacing windows, install strong, resilient, glass.
4. Start a neighborhood watch in your community. The idea may seem dated, but with the high use of social media it has never been easier. Instantly alerting neighbors to suspicious vehicles or individuals via social media may save a neighbor from a nightmare situation.
5. Lastly, you may seriously want to consider having ADT Miami professionally install a security system in your home. The world of alarm systems has grown leaps and bounds in the last few years. Systems, such as ADT Pulse, offer wireless home automation like no other. Systems can be as simple or all inclusive, depending on your needs and wants. ADT’s 24-hour monitoring offers security like no other.
We know your family’s safety and security are top priority. Keeping your family safe at home has truly never been easier. A phone call to your local ADT system installer will be all it takes to have your Miami area home on its way to a safe and secure summer.
