How to secure the exterior or your home?

We are going into the holiday season and this is when families are busy and spending money. So you may not have the time or the money to invest in protecting your property. There are a few inexpensive ways you can protect your property which take a very little time and are very simple to complete.  I often post things you do to protect your home or apartment so check here often. I hope you can use the very common steps to protect your home.

The first is very simple secure your doors and windows this is where most burglars will check first.  They will test the doors and windows to see if they are secured. You want to make sure they are in working order when the weather changes wood and locks. This can be affect how they function and secure your property. You can invest in front doors security bars and window security bars to add a layer of protection for your entry points.

Please resist the urge to post on any social media outlet that new TV or furniture you just got for Christmas. When you place a post online you may have your settings on friends only but trust me when I tell you people talk and unfortunately, they may tell the wrong person about the new items you have in your home.  This will make your home more attractive to burglars especially if they think there is a big pay out for their effort.  I would also recommend any expensive items should not be visible from outside your home. 

I hope this is helpful as always please leave a comment
