Having a state-of-the-art security system is not enough to keep burglars from invading your home. Strand Security of Myrtle Beach recommends taking these measures in addition to an alarm system and monitoring service for added security.
Install Deadbolts
Deadbolts offer a much higher degree of protection than regular locks.
Get Sturdy Doors
If your outside entrance doors are hollow, consider having them reinforced with metal plates or replaced with stronger quality doors.
Play a Local Radio Station
When you’re not home, play a talk radio station to make it like someone is inside.
Use Light Timers
Program light timers to turn your lights on or off at different times of the day.
Install Motion Detector Lights
Motion detector lights will turn on when they detect any motion from people or animals in your yard.
Secure Sliding Patio Doors
Place a piece of wood—such that fits into the track when the door is closed.
Protect Your Belongings
Video your belongings and inventory your household items.
Ensuring your family’s safety, protecting your belongings, and keeping your home secure is a very important role. These simple techniques will make your home much more secure, and give you peace of mind.
