For many people home security is just a pipe dream because they feel it’s too expensive. In this article we will share with you some free home security tips that will help in burglary prevention. Not many people know about the secrets that we are going to give you.
First you should understand how big the problem is. An indication of that is the fact that home security and related products represent a $60 billion a year business. Why so big? Because burglary is so popular and so easy to do-some of it due to homeowner apathy. One out of every five homes in the United States will be burglarized this year. Slightly over 30% of them occur through unlocked doors or win-dows-the bad guys don’t even need to break in.
- So here are some Free Home Security Tips.
- Join or start a neighborhood watch program in your area. They are free and statistics show that they are one of the most effective ways to improve your home security especially with the bur-glary prevention tips it provides.
- Lock all your doors and windows even when you’re at home. Most burglars are inexperienced. Only 10% of them are considered professional, the rest are rookies looking for a quick score. Locked doors and windows would be a major impediment to them for gaining entry into the house.
- Most police departments will do a free home security survey that can provide valuable infor-mation on burglary prevention techniques you can use to bolster your home’s security. This is only dependent upon the availability and time for a police officer to do the survey.
We recommend as the least expensive way to improve your security and prevent burglary after you fol-low these free home security tips is to install an inexpensive alarm on every door and window in your house.
