Burglars are drawn into properties that have the latest mod-cons, and gifts like electronics and jewellery act as incentives for them.
This Christmas, you want to make sure that your property is secure and here’s how Lock Shop Direct can help you to enhance security within your home:
No room at the inn.
You don’t want to encourage unwanted guests to your property, so you need to make sure that your property is secure at all times. When it comes to home security, you should always keep any keys out of reach to eliminate the risk of theft.
Don’t fall victim to theft without a forced entry- hiding your spare key under the doormat is only too obvious… burglars have seen it all before! They know exactly what they are looking for so why not consider one of the key safes or key cabinets from Lock Shop Direct?
Our key safes are designed to store up to 100 keys, some of the cabinets incorporate an electronic locking system.
Keep presents hidden.
Home security is something that we take extremely seriously, here at Lock Shop Direct. We encourage you to protect any valuables or gifts you have within your property- keeping them out of sight; out of mind!
If you’ve already starting your Christmas shopping, you need to make sure that you dispose of your packaging efficiently. Leaving an empty box outside, besides the bin, is not recommended. You need to either fold up your packaging so that it can fit easily into your bin or it should be recycled as soon as possible.
Raise alarm bells.
Three out of every four homes are burgled as a result of there not being a burglar alarm fitted! If you haven’t already, you need to invest in a security alarm like the ERA Garrison Smartphone GSM/SMS Alarm Kit.
This alarm is controlled by a remote or a smartphone, making it much easier for you to secure your home, even when you’re not there. When finding a solution for improving the security of your home, you want to make sure that you’re always in the loop, with automatic notifications!
Picture perfect.
The security of your property should be a priority. You want to make sure that you keep a record of any expensive items you have in your property so why not take photos of them and use security markers?
Any markers for security should include your house number and postcode, ensuring that any valuable belongings are traceable.
Christmas lights at night.
We advise you to keep your home well-lit- even when you’re not in! By having your lights on a timer, you can create the illusion that there is someone home.
Choosing to leave lights on can put thieves off because they cannot be too sure that your property is empty.
Don’t let thieves spoil your festive spirit- make sure that your property is up to date with the latest security features. Find all you need to improve the security of your property, here at Lock Shop Direct!
