Be vigilant with your home security this summer
Posted 28-06-13
Summer brings so much to enjoy but while you are making the most of the weather it is necessary to make sure your home is kept as safe as possible. Security is vital the whole year round but activities and behaviour can change slightly when summer is upon us so it is very important to be on your guard.
Burglaries during the summer have often been rife and one of the reasons is the increase in the amount of people who go away on holiday. To minimise the chances of this happening it is sensible to stop your house phone from ringing while you are away and to arrange for someone to collect your post for you.
It is possible to time the lighting inside your property in order to imply that someone is active inside the home and an effective security system that includes an alarm, extra-strong and double locks, and a camera is certainly advisable. Even if you are not planning to take a break anywhere you should still look for any ways to firm up your security. Many people leave a key in an easily discoverable place outside and valuables can often be visible from the outside so make sure you are wary of falling into these traps.
