Security
How secure is your home? What about your windows? In the case of
burglary, windows are the most vulnerable part of your home. Listed
below are some tips that will help keep your family safe all day and
every day.
Windows Security Tips
- Where
possible, plant bushes-especially bushes with thorns-underneath
your windows.
- The
side windows of a house are generally the most vulnerable. Install
window sensors on these windows and on the front and back
windows if possible. Security Solutions security systems offer window sensors
for three dollars a month in conjunction with various security
packages.
- Look
for inexpensive window tinting. Purchase the tinting for your
lower level windows. This makes it impossible for burglars to
see inside your house unless they press their faces against the
windows. The same thing goes for storm doors; burglars can't see
through them.
- Remember
to close windows when you leave the house. Close upper-story windows
as well. Many people mistakenly believe that it would be too
difficult for a burglar to enter high-level windows.
- For
best windows security, install lights over or near your windows.
