The exterior of your home is something that should not be a vantage point to unwelcome trespassers. This is the very first step in ensuring that your home is a safe zone. Without this, you will be vulnerable to burglary. Most of the time, little things that we do without thinking too much about it make it painfully easy for these intruders to just wander into our homes and harm us and our loved ones. Here are some mistakes that we all tend to do, that can open up the outside of your home to intruders.
Not fixing the doors and windows
More often than now we see that there is something not quite right with a door or a window and we simply forget about it thinking that nothing will happen and that you live in a safe area. The truth is that burglars can be anywhere and it does not matter how residential your neighborhood is. Get the help of a good locksmith Noosa and fix anything that cannot be secured correctly so that you rid yourself of the chances of getting robbed. If you can spot that something does not close right, the practiced eye of a thief can definitely spot it too.
Leaving vehicles, grills and other items out
Many people just leave their valuables lying outside. For example a vehicle that will be left behind while you are gone or the grill that you bought which is outside because you feel like it is just too much trouble to pull it out every time somebody is around for a barbecue. Just put anything and everything that is valuable in the garage and make sure that the garage is kept under lock and key. Also if the garage doors and windows do not secure correctly, get a certified mobile locksmith to drop in and fix this up for you. Basically do not leave anything lying around that will tempt intruders who want to help themselves to your property.
Not having the correct lighting outside your home
One more aspect that we tend to overlook is the importance of motion sensor lighting outside, especially near the entrances and exits of the house. Having motion sensor lighting ensures that is somebody tries to come in uninvited, you will spot them as the lights go on and even if you do not, others around will notice and raise the alarm. You have gone to the trouble of building a beautiful home, do not cheap out on the kind of security that you can add to it thereby also providing safety for your family.
