Sorry to tell you this, but the FBI says one out of every six homes in the U.S. will be burglarized this year. That’s a staggering statistic if you stop and think about it, yet most of us think it will never happen to us. With stats this high, it’s pretty likely it will happen to any one of us, especially if we don’t implement some protective home security solutions.
- If you have hollow doors, think about changing them for a solid model.
- If you have glass panes in your doors, make sure you install a double cylinder lock – even if a burglar breaks the pane he doesn’t have a key to unlock if from the inside.
- Some thieves are so gutsy they’ll bust their way in even if you're there – install a wide angle peephole in your door so you can get a good look at who's out there.
For your information, motion sensors can be set up to protect the perimeter of your home so that you can move around freely inside. If the perimeter is breached, you’ll know about it right away.
