Do you know how common burglaries are in the US? Just during the time it takes you to read this blog post, several things will be broken into. Naturally, the statistics are different depending on where you live, but you should take an interest in the security of your home to make sure you’re not going to be part of those statistics.
From all those burglaries, some figures can help prevent you from becoming an easy target. The majority of break-ins actually happen through the front door, so ensuring that your door has a solid core or is made from a strong material is important. You should also have a deadbolt that connects with a strong frame.
Something that discourages burglars is an alarm system. Even having the signs that announce the existence of an alarm will turn them away, but naturally, the real thing is even better.
You should also be careful not to make it obvious you are out of the house but ensuring that lawn-mowing and similar things are being done and your mail is collected if you are away for an extended period of time.
