Simple Ways to Protect Your Home
Every homeowner wants to feel safe and know their home is well protected when they are home or away. The best way to help protect your home from burglary or home invasion is to follow some simple guidelines set by law enforcement. These guidelines will make your home less attractive to the thief casing the neighborhood, which in most cases is inexperienced and looking for the easy entry, unprotected, unoccupied home.
With over five and a half million burglaries occurring annually, we are all potential victims in the thief's eyes. Thus, burglar proofing your home only makes good sense and may even save you anywhere from ten to twenty percent on your homeowners insurance policy rates, depending on the prevention steps you take.
Your first plan of action should be to contact an Orlando locksmith to come out to your home and evaluate the rating of all your exterior doors, entry ways and window locking systems. It is imperative that you already have or that you purchase high quality Grade 1 or Grade 2 locks on all of your exterior doors.
These high quality grade locks are nearly impervious to: lock picking, prying or twisting and even channel-lock pliers, which are commonly used to break off lock cylinder pins, due to the use of the beveled casing used in dead bolt locks and the anti break in door knob in-lock set systems which prevent burglars from entering with a credit card or shim because they have a dead -latch device. Your Orlando locksmith should have a high quality array of brand name Grade 1 and Grade 2 locking systems to offer you, such as we carry @Orlandolocksmiths.com featuring Medeco, Schlage, Peaks and Keymark locks.
One final note on burglar proofing your home and selecting your Orlando locksmith: make certain they are licensed, bonded and insured skilled professionals preferably with a long standing reputation in your community; as are we @Orlandolocksmiths.com a family owned and operated team of professional locksmiths serving Orlando and the surrounding areas for over twenty years. Fly by night operations often have employees or sub-contract people without the expertise in the field of locksmithing or a background check!
Make sure your home is not an easy target; never leave doors or windows open, remove any items from around your home that may be used as a burglary tool such as shovels, ladders, garden tools and the like. Leave lights on an automatic timer and stop mail and newspaper delivery if you go away on vacation. Cut back trees and shrubbery from windows and doors blocking the view of your home from the street and neighbors, in other words don't give the thief an easy hiding place while he is trying to break into your home. And finally never display your name on the residence, this makes it easy for the burglar to get access to your home phone and enables them to call to see if anyone answers before they try to enter illegally.
Home Security Systems and Safes Considered the Best Deterrent
When you are trying to protect your home from burglars and becoming just another astounding statistic, a burglary occurs every 15 seconds in the United States, we must take steps to make our home and property less attractive and vulnerable to the roving thief and instead make it a deterrent.
Law enforcement and the Burglary Prevention Council strongly recommend installing a home security system and the purchase of a home safe for the storage of your precious valuables, important information and documents, and are considered as two of the most valuable loss prevention tools in your arsenal of weapons in protecting your home and family against thieves.
Simply by contacting an Orlando locksmith in your area you can easily add these valuable tools to your home security strategy. At Florida Safe and Lock an established and professional Orlando locksmith will come to your home to help you evaluate your personal home security needs and also determining if all your entry door and window locks meet the insurance regulation's current industry standards of Grade 1 and Grade 2 guideline requirements.
The majority of homeowner insurance companies will offer considerable rate discounts on your homeowner's insurance rates for installing high quality locking devices, home security systems and safes. These are discounts which can significantly help to defer the cost of purchasing these deterrents and can help pay the monthly service fee of a home monitoring system for your family and home's protection.
At Florida Safe and Lock we are proud to work in conjunction with one of the leading home monitoring companies when installing your home security systems, locks and safe, making sure that every detail of your home's security meets the industry's insurance rating standards and requirements.
