| Tips on Home Security
|
Poor home security makes the job easier for the burglar. The worst part of a burglary is the feeling of having your
home 'violated'. So stay one step ahead of the burglar, and act to foil the crime.
- It's a smart habit to lock the doors and windows of your house.
- Always have your home looking as if it is "lived in". Leave one or two lights on if you are going out at night.
An automatic timer can be very useful for turning on lights or even a radio or ceiling fan. If you are going to be
away from home for a longer period, get a neighbour to pick up your mail and newspaper daily. If possible, arrange for your
lawn to be maintained and for the curtains to be drawn at night.
- Make sure that your doors have good locks. Also make sure that sliding doors cannot be lifted off the lower track.
- All exterior doors should be of a solid-core construction and 4.5 cm thick. Avoid hollow-core and glass doors.
- Never open the door without knowing who is on the outside.
- Install backup locks or grilles for all your windows.
- Turn on your front and back lights at night to increase visibility. This acts as a deterrent for burglars.
- It's good to invest in a security alarm system for the home.
- In case of a burglary, do not enter the house, but call the police using a handphone. Do not touch anything
while waiting for the police to arrive.
