I lost my keys while going on a run. I called Top Atlanta Locksmith LLC and the tech was fast, efficient, and professional. Oh and reasonably priced. I scoured the web for quotes and they were the lowest in price.

Keep Your Home Safe by Avoiding These Security Don’ts

It’s good news that burglary rates are decreasing each year, all thanks to homeowners that have taken it as a priority to improve their home security system and the security agents who are dedicated to their responsibilities.

However, the cost of repairing the damages caused due to break-ins and the price of valuable items that are the targets of criminals are in the increase. So there is a need for homeowners to take the security of their homes to the next level by avoiding these securities ‘don’ts.’

Don’t move in without rekeying your locks

If you’re not the first tenant in the building, there is a possibility that former tenants and handymen must have had access to the keys of your apartment. Therefore, you need to ask your landlord to get your existing locks rekeyed. If he is resilient, you should take up the expense because it is your responsibility to secure the lives of your loved ones and valuable belongings.

You should also try to identify your new home’s security vulnerable spots and take a close look at your window locks, garage locks, and fire escapes. Upgrading to a new deadbolt lock on your front door will not be a bad idea.

Don’t expose your indoors

Overexposed windows are a gift to potential burglars, and it will make your home a perfect target.

You don’t need the world to know that you’re rich and perhaps living in splendor since it will put you in high risk of becoming a burglary victim. Therefore, we advise that you keep expensive items out of sight.

Buy blackout blinds and keep it always closed. Its better-trusted individuals know much ‘cool’ stuff you have indoors than making it a public knowledge.

Don’t hide spare keys outside

Try to give your flat or roommate the spare and stop keeping an extra set of keys outside. Burglars know that most people hide their keys under the welcome mat, in a decorative fixture or a potted plant and those spots are their first point of call during their operations.

If you can afford it, better to change over to a keyless entry door so you could have several layers of protection for your loved ones and valuables. Call electronic security locksmith at Top Atlanta Locksmith for affordable smart lock installation.

While on vacation, don’t leave the lights on

Most burglars are reactive and can deduce that no one is at home when you leave the lights on for 24 hours. Make it more likely that someone is around by installing sensor lights in several areas of your home

Don’t be an ‘island.’

Though it’s good to always mind your business, however, it is also wise to develop a cordial relationship with your neighbors. During your leisure, try to talk to them and while on vacation ask them to keep an eye on your property.

Don’t use outdated locks

Burglars are not relenting in their quest to improve their skills in theft. For that reason, you should consider upgrading your locks and probably investing in a smart security system.

Now is a great time to start by calling professional locksmiths at Top Atlanta Locksmith.
