Home Security

 

  • Most burglaries are opportunistic.
  • Always close and lock doors and windows when you go out - even if just for a short time - and when you go to bed at night. Don't forget doors into garages and conservatories. 
  • Make sure your locks and security measures comply with your insurance requirements.
  • Keeps keys, including shed and car keys, in a place where they're not visible to anyone looking in. Don't leave keys in the door, and never hide a spare key outside.
  • Keep valuables hidden and not visible from windows. 
  • Take photographs of your valuable items for insurance purposes and keep them with your policy. 
  • Window locks and visible burglar alarms can act as a deterrent to criminals.
  • Never leave packaging from new goods visible with your general rubbish. Criminals may see it and target your property. 
  • Draw curtains in the evening and leave your lights on a timer switch if you're going out. 
  • Never give your keys to anyone you do not know well. Change locks in a new property so that you know exactly who has the keys. 
  • Never keep large amounts of cash in the house. 
  • Consider keeping expensive jewellery, house deeds and other important item in a home safe, anchored to the brick work. 

    •  

    Consider registering expensive items with a forensic marking company such as SmartWater - www.smartwater.com or SelectaDNA
